Townshend, Pete - Who Are You Lyrics
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
I remember throwing punches around
And preaching from my chair
Who are you? (Who are you? Who, who, who, who?)
(Who are you? Who, who, who, who?)
I said (Who are you? Who, who, who, who?)
I really wanna know (Who are you? Who, who, who, who?)
Took the tube back out of town
Back to the Rollin' Pin
With a streak of Rin Tin Tin
I stretched back and I hiccupped
Looked back on my busy day
I was Eleven hours in the Tin Can
There's got to be better way
(Who are you? Who, who, who, who?)
You know I really need to know
(Who are you? Who, who, who, who?)
(Who are you? Who, who, who, who?)
(Who are you? Who, who, who, who?)
Let me tell you who I am
I am the man
That is scared of concrete
For you I have a plan
I put my money in the bank
I don't keep it in my hand
And sometimes it all goes wrong I make a stand
Whenever, I walk down the street I feel afraid
People want there money 'cause they want to get paid
All I want is a little love and to live my life
And all I want for return is my very own wife
Why do people in red
Who are you who do you fear
When I take this knife and in your eyes I sneer
When I look at the people who came from the sixties
Up through the nineties now we reach this pentacle
Understand that the reason to exist
Is that life is something that you live have to persist
Who could just forget the place where we came
My name is Pete Townshend we want you just the same
Who are you?
Who who who who are you?
Who are you?...
I know there's a place you walked
Where love falls from the trees
My heart is like a broken cup
You know 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?
(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?)
(Who are you? Who, who, who, who?)
Tell me who are you?
I can just remember about who I am
Who are you?

PT has always reinvents his music, keeping it fresh and interesting. The members of the orchestra really get in this!
As Pete walks out, you can almost hear "Leopold! Leopold! Leopold!"

No one has ever rocked an acoustic guitar like Pete
Pete's got a good Rock voice
if there is an invisible man who lives in the sky, please bless Pete Townshend and Roger Daltrey. And the Ox, and Moon, too, if they're out there somewhere.
