Pete Townshend
What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
I was just thirty-four years old
2
And I was still wandering in a haze
3
I was wondering why everyone I met
4
Seemed like they were lost in a maze
5
I don't know why I thought I should have
6
Some kind of divine right to the blues
7
It's sympathy not tears people need
8
When they're the front page sad news
9
The incense burned away
10
And the stench began to rise
11
Lovers now estranged
12
Avoided catching each others' eyes
13
And girls who lost their children
14
Cursed the men who fit the coil
15
And men not fit for marriage
16
Took their refuge in the oil
17
No one respects the flame
18
Quite like the fool who's badly burned
19
From all this you'd imagine
20
That there must be something learned
21
Slit skirts, Jeanie never wears those slit skirts
22
I don't ever wear no ripped shirts
23
Can't pretend that growing older never hurts
24
Knee pants, Jeanie never wears no knee pants
25
Have to be so drunk to try a new dance
26
So afraid of every new romance
27
Slit skirts, slit skirts
28
Jeanie isn't wearing those slit skirts, slit skirts
29
She wouldn't dare in those slit skirts, slit skirts
30
Wouldn't be seen dead in no slit skirts
31
Romance, romance, why aren't we thinking up romance?
32
Why can't we drink it up true heart romance
33
Just need a brief new romance
34
Let me tell you some more about myself
35
You know I'm sitting at home, just now
36
The big events of the day are passed
37
And the late TV shows have come around
38
I'm number one in the home team
39
But I still feel unfulfilled
40
A silent voice in her broken heart
41
Complaining that I'm unskilled
42
And I know that when she thinks of me
43
She thinks of me as him
44
But unlike me, she don't work off her frustration in the gym
45
Recriminations fester
46
And the past can never change
47
A woman's expectations
48
Run from both ends of the range
49
Once she woke with
50
Untamed lovers' face between her legs
51
Now he's cooled and stifled
52
And it's she who has to beg
53
Slit skirts, Jeanie never wears those slit skirts
54
And I don't ever wear no ripped shirts
55
Can't pretend that growing older never hurts
56
Knee pants, Jeanie never wears no knee pants
57
We have to be so drunk to try a new dance
58
So afraid of every new romance
59
Slit skirts, slit skirts
60
Jeanie isn't wearing those slit skirts, slit skirts
61
She wouldn't dare in those slit skirts, slit skirts
62
Wouldn't be seen dead in no slit skirts
63
Slit skirts, slit skirt
64
Jeanie isn't wearing those slit skirts, slit skirts
65
She wouldn't dare in those slit skirts, slit skirts
66
Wouldn't be seen dead in no slit skirts
67
Romance, romance, why aren't we thinking up romance?
68
Why can't we drink it up true heart romance
69
Just need a brief new romance
