The Who - Trick Of The Light

One of the darkest songs by the Who. The song his about a man who has an unrealistic idea about his relationship with a prostitute. The character spouts cliches to the woman and believes the prostitute is actually his girlfriend.

Music Goodies: The Who

How Many Friends - The Who

Naked Eye - The Who

Two songs of Pete Townshend at his bleakest.

You hold the gun and I hold the wound,
And we stand looking in each other's eyes,
Both think we know what's right,
Both know we know what's wrong,
We tell ourselves so many many many lies,
We're not pawns in any game, we're not tools of bigger men,
There's only one who can really move us all,
It all looks fine to the naked eye,
But it don't really happen that way at all.
