Pete Townshend - All Lovers Are Deranged Lyrics






It takes a fool to phone a fool
When they both have said it all
We make the rule and bemoan the rule
That neither soul should call
But love that was is love that is
Demands to always be unchanged
But then all lovers are deranged

We walk away with memories
And clutch them to our hearts
We disembodied entities
We love in fits and starts
For love like wine intoxicates
It drives all of you drink insane
But then all lovers are deranged

You know that you don't really fall in love
Unless you're seventeen
Then break your word let your spirits fly
But you can't know what it means
Unless you're seventeen

It takes a fight to start a fight, and differences remain
We have the right to think we're right, we're addicts feigning shame
For love recalled, is love reborn, we're determined to revive the pain
But then all lovers are deranged

All lovers are deranged

It takes a fool to phone a fool
When they both have said it all
We make the rule bemoan the rule
That neither soul should call

    This doesn't hold a candle to Gilmour's version.

    Is there any sort of effect on his voice?

    Thank you again for all these Scoop 3 uploads, ThePoliteForce.   Can't get enough Pete.  Glad to be hearing some new stuff.  <3

    "Love like wine intoxicates, it drives all those who drinkkkk insane." Only Pete can make me laugh and cry  like that....

    Much better than David's version. Don't know why he never gave this a proper release.

    #1- Nope. #2- It's lame.

    Having just listened to both of ‘em back to back (hadn’t heard Gilmour’s version in over 30 years!) I have to say I like this one more than on first listen when Scoop 3 came out. DG’s version is weighed down by overly thick production IMO…very ‘80s, too much frosting on the cake. :) Pete’s version is IMO less bound to the period when it was recorded.
