Who are you?
Who who, who who?
Who are you?
Who who, who who?
Who are you?
Who who, who who?
Who are you?
Who who, who who?

I woke up in a Soho doorway
A policeman knew my name
He said “You can go sleep at home tonight
If you can get up and walk away”
I staggered back to the underground
And the breeze blew back my hair
I remember throwin’ punches around
And preachin’ from my chair

Well who are you?
Who are you?
Who who, who who?
I really wanna know
Who are you?
Who who, who who?
Tell me who are you
Who are you?
Who who, who who?
Cause I really wanna know
Who are you?
Who who, who who?

I took a tube back outta town
Back to the Rollin’ Pin
I felt a little like a dying clown
With a streak of Rin Tin Tin
I stretched back and I hiccupped
And looked back on my busy day
Eleven hours in the Tin Pan
God there’s got to be another way

Well who are you?
Who are you?
Who who, who who?
Oh, who are you?
Who are you?
Who who, who who?
Come on tell me who are you
Who are you?
Who who, who who?
Oh who the fuck are you?
Who are you?
Who who, who who?

Who are you?
Ooh wa ooh wa… [repeat]

Who are you?
Who who, who who?
Who are you?
Who who, who who?
Who are you?
Who who, who who?
Who are you?
Who who, who who?

I really wanna know
Who are you?
Who who, who who?
I really wanna know
Who are you?
Who who, who who?
Come on tell me who are you
Who are you?
Who who, who who?
Cause I really wanna know
Who are you?
Who who, who who?

I know there’s a place you walked
Where love falls from the trees
My heart is like a broken cup
I only feel right on my knees
I spit out like a sewer hole
Yet still receive your kiss
How can I measure up to anyone now
After such a love as this

Well who are you?
Who are you?
Who who, who who?
Oh tell me who are you
Who are you?
Who who, who who?
Oh I really wanna know
Who are you?
Who who, who who?
Tell me tell me who are you
Who are you?
Who who, who who?
Come on, come on, who?
Who are you?
Who who, who who?
Oh who the fuck are you?
Who are you?
Who who, who who?
Who are you?
Who are you?
Who who, who who?
Oh tell me who are you
Who are you?
Who…

I really wanna know
Oh I really wanna know
Come on tell me who are you
You
You
Ow… you!

Lyrics

The one shines
And people forget
The spray flies as the speedboat glides
And people forget
Forget they’re hiding
The girls smile
And people forget
The snow packs as the skier tracks
And people forget
Forget they’re hiding

Behind an eminence front
Eminence front – It’s a put on

Come on join the party
Dress to kill
Won’t you come and join the party
Dress to kill

The drinks flow
People forget
That big wheel spins, the hair thins
People forget
Forget they’re hiding
The news slows
People forget
The shares crash, hopes are dashed
People forget
Forget they’re hiding

Behind an eminence front
Eminence front – it’s a put on
Come on join the party
Dress to
Come on join the party
Dress to
Come on join the party
Dress to
Come on join the party
Dress to kill
Dress yourself, dressed to kill

Lyrics

nows what it’s like
To be the bad man
To be the sad man
Behind blue eyes

No one knows what it’s like
To be hated
To be fated
To telling only lies

But my dreams
They aren’t as empty
As my conscience seems to be

I have hours, only lonely
My love is vengeance
That’s never free

No one knows what it’s like
To feel these feelings
Like I do
And I blame you!

No one bites back as hard
On their anger
None of my pain and woe
Can show through

But my dreams
They aren’t as empty
As my conscience seems to be

I have hours only lonely
My love is vengeance
That’s never free

When my fist clenches, crack it open
Before I use it and lose my cool
When I smile, tell me some bad news
Before I laugh and act like a fool

And If I swallow anything evil
Put your finger down my throat
And If I shiver, please give me a blanket
Keep me warm, let me wear your coat

No one knows what it’s like
To be the bad man
To be the sad man
Behind blue eyes

Lyrics

Well, I’m a-gonna raise a fuss
I’m a-gonna raise a holler
About a-workin’ all summer
Just to try to earn a dollar
But every time I call my baby
Try’n to get a date
My boss says, “No dice, son
You gotta work a-late”
Sometimes I wonder what I’m a-gonna do
There ain’t no cure for this summertime blues

Well, my mom ‘n’ poppa told me
“Son, you gotta earn some money
If you wanna use the car
To go ridin’ next Sunday”
Well, I didn’t go to work
Told the boss I was sick
“Now you can’t use the car
‘Cos you didn’t work a lick!”
Sometimes I wonder what I’m a-gonna do
There ain’t no cure for this summertime blues

Well, I’m gonna take two weeks
Gonna have a fine vacation
I’m gonna take my problem
To the United Nations
Well, I called my congress man
and he said, quote
“I’d like to help ya son
But you’re too young to vote”
Sometimes I wonder what I’m a-gonna do
There ain’t no cure for this summertime blues

Lyrics

People try to put us d-down (Talkin’ ’bout my generation)
Just because we get around (Talkin’ ’bout my generation)
Things they do look awful c-c-cold (Talkin’ ’bout my generation)
I hope I die before I get old (Talkin’ ’bout my generation)

This is my generation
This is my generation, baby

Why don’t you all f-fade away (Talkin’ ’bout my generation)
And don’t try to dig what we all s-s-say (Talkin’ ’bout my generation)
I’m not trying to cause a big s-s-sensation (Talkin’ ’bout my generation)
I’m just talkin’ ’bout my g-g-g-generation (Talkin’ ’bout my generation)

This is my generation
This is my generation, baby

Why don’t you all f-fade away (Talkin’ ’bout my generation)
And don’t try to d-dig what we all s-s-say (Talkin’ ’bout my generation)
I’m not trying to cause a b-big s-s-sensation (Talkin’ ’bout my generation)
I’m just talkin’ ’bout my g-g-generation (Talkin’ ’bout my generation)

This is my generation
This is my generation, baby

People try to put us d-down (Talkin’ ’bout my generation)
Just because we g-g-get around (Talkin’ ’bout my generation)
Things they do look awful c-c-cold (Talkin’ ’bout my generation)
Yeah, I hope I die before I get old (Talkin’ ’bout my generation)

This is my generation
This is my generation, baby

Lyrics

I FARM for my meals
I get my back into my living.
I don’t need to fight
To prove I’m right
I don’t need to be forgiven.
yeah,yeah,yeah,yeah,yeah

Don’t cry
Don’t raise your eye
It’s only teenage wasteland

Sally, take my hand
We’ll travel south cross land
Put out the fire
And don’t look past my shoulder.
The exodus is here
The happy ones are near
Let’s get together
Before we get much older.

Teenage wasteland
It’s only teenage wasteland.
Teenage wasteland
Oh, yeah
Teenage wasteland
They’re all wasted!

Lyrics

Here by the sea and sand
Nothing ever goes as planned
I just couldn’t face going home
It was just a drag on my own
They finally threw me out
My mother got drunk on stout
My dad couldn’t stand on two feet
As he lectured about morality
Now I guess the families complete
With me hanging round on the street
Or here on the beach

The girl I love
Is a perfect dresser
Wears every fashion
Gets it to the tee
Heavens above
I got to match her
She knows just how
She wants her man to be
Leave it to me

My jacket’s gonna be cut slim and checked
Maybe a touch of seersucker with an open neck
I ride a G.S. scooter with my hair cut neat
I wear my wartime coat in the wind and sleet

I see her dancing
Across the ballroom
UV light making starshine
Of her smile
I am the face
She has to know me
I’m dressed up better than anyone
Within a mile

So how come the other tickets look much better?
Without a penny to spend they dress to the letter
How come the girls come on oh so cool
Yet when you meet ‘em, every one’s a fool?

Come sleep on the beach
Keep within my reach
I just want to die with you near
I’m feeling so high with you here
I’m wet and I’m cold
But thank God I ain’t old
I should have split home at fifteen
Why didn’t I ever say what I mean?
There’s a story that the grass is so green
What did I see?
Where have I been?

Nothing is planned, by the sea and the sand

Lyrics

Deaf dumb and blind boy
He’s in a quiet vibration land
Strange as it seems his musical dreams
Ain’t quite so bad

Ten years old
With thoughts as bold as thought can be
Loving life and becoming wise
In simplicity

Sickness will surely take the mind
Where minds can’t usually go
Come on the amazing journey
And learn all you should know

A vague haze of delerium
Creeps up on me
All at once a tall stranger I suddenly see
He’s dressed in a silver sparked
Glittering gown
And His golden beard flows
Nearly down to the ground

Nothing to say and nothing to hear
And nothing to see
Each sensation makes a note in my symphony

Sickness will surely take the mind
Where minds can’t usually go
Come on the amazing journey
And learn all you should know

His eyes are the eyes that
Transmit all they know
Sparkle warm crystalline glances to show
That he is your leader
And he is your guide
On the amazing journey together you’ll ride

I’m goin’ home
And when I wanna go home
I’m goin’ mobile
Well, I’m gonna find a home
And we’ll see how it feels
Goin’ mobile
Keep me movin’

I can pull up by the curb
I can make it on the road
Goin’ mobile
I can stop in any street
Invitin’ people that we meet
Goin’ mobile
Keep me movin’

Out in the woods
Or in the city
It’s all the same to me
When I’m drivin’ free, the world’s my
home
When I’m mobile

Hee, hoo!
beep beep!

Play the tape machine
Make the toast and tea
When I’m mobile
Well I can lay in bed
With only highway ahead
When I’m mobile
Keep me movin’

Keep me movin’
Over 50
Keep me groovin’
Just a hippie gypsy

Come on move now
Movin’
Keep me movin’, yeah

Keep me movin’, groovin’, groovin’,
yeah
Movin’, Yeah
Mobile, mobile, mobile, mobile, …

I don’t care about pollution
I’m an air-conditioned gypsy
That’s my solution
Watch the police and the tax man miss
me
I’m mobile
Oooooh, yeah, hee!

Mobile, mobile, mobile yeah
