Music What Song/Album Are You Listening To? (5 Viewers)

+1

When I was in about 7th grade, I discovered my dad's album collection. I had a phono on my stereo that I had gotten for Christmas. Tommy was in the collection and I used to listen to it for hours.

To this day, I just can't watch the movie. The music is so pure and original on the album, I need to hear the Who playing it and Roger and Pete signing it. I have no interest in Elton John doing Pinball Wizard and the butchering of Christmas is just unbearable.
I recommend the Live at Leeds album... the deluxe edition has 2 discs the first is the loudest live show ever and the second is Tommy live in its entirety. it is perfection.
 
We're on our own, cousin,
all alone, cousin.
Let's think of a game to play
Now the grownups have all gone away.
You won't be much fun
being blind deaf and dumb
But I've no one to play with today.

D'you know how to play hide and seek?
To find me it would take you a week,
But tied to a chair you won't go anywhere
There's a lot I can do with a freak.

How would you feel if I turned on the bath,
Ducked your head under and started to laugh.
What would you do if I shut you outside,
To stand in the rain
and catch cold so you die?

I'm the school bully !
The classroom cheat.
The nastiest playfriend,
You ever could meet.
I'll stick pins in your fingers
And tread on your feet...

We're on our own, cousin,
all alone, cousin.
Let's think of a game to play
While the grownups were all away.
You weren't much fun
'cause your deaf and dumb
But I've had no one to play with today.

Maybe a cigarette burn on your arm
Would change your expression to one of alarm,
I'll drag you around by a lock of your hair
Or give you a push at the top of the stairs...

I'm the school bully !
The classroom cheat.
The nastiest playfriend,
You ever could meet.
I'll put glass in your dinner
And spikes in your seat...

We're on our own, cousin,
all alone, cousin.
Let's think of a game to play
While the grownups were all away.
You weren't much fun
'cause your deaf and dumb
But I've had no one to play with today.
 


I could never get my extremely intelligent father who composed/taught/performed music to get past the lyrics of some of the rap songs to truly understand the genius of the "beats"
