Werewolves Of London - Warren Zevon

I saw a werewolve with a Chinese menu in his hand
Walking through the streets of Soho in the rain
He was looking for a place called Lee Ho Fook's
Going to get a big dish of beef chow mein
Ahoo werewolves of London ahoooo
Ahoo werewolves of London ahoooo

You hear him howling around the kitchen door
Better not let him in
Little old lady got mutilated late last night
Werewolves of London again
Ahoo werewolves of London ahoooo
Ahoo werewolves of London ahoooo

He's the hairy-handed gent who run amuck in Kent
Lately he's been overheard in Mayfair
Better stay away from him, he'll rip your lungs out Jim
I'd like to meet his tailor
Ahoo werewolves of London ahoooo
Ahoo werewolves of London ahoooo

Well I saw Lon Channey walking with the queen doing the werewolves of London
Well I saw Lon Channey junior walking with the queen doing the werewolves of London
I saw a werewolve drinking a pina colada at trader Vic's
His hair was perfect
Ahooooo werewolves of London draw blood
Ahoo werewolves of London ahoo


My Generation - The Who

People try to put us d-down (Talkin' 'bout my generation)
Just because we get around (Talkin' 'bout my generation)
Things they do look awful c-c-cold (Talkin' 'bout my generation)
I hope I die before I get old (Talkin' 'bout my generation)

This is my generation
This is my generation, baby

Why don't you all f-fade away (Talkin' 'bout my generation)
And don't try to dig what we all s-s-say (Talkin' 'bout my generation)
I'm not trying to cause a big s-s-sensation (Talkin' 'bout my generation)
I'm just talkin' 'bout my g-g-g-generation (Talkin' 'bout my generation)

This is my generation
This is my generation, baby

Why don't you all f-fade away (Talkin' 'bout my generation)
And don't try to d-dig what we all s-s-say (Talkin' 'bout my generation)

Things they do look awful c-c-cold (Talkin' 'bout my generation)
Yeah, I hope I die before I get old (Talkin' 'bout my generation)

This is my generation

Substitute - The Who

You Think We Look Pretty Good Together
You Think My Shoes Are Made OF Leather

But I'm A Substitute For Another Guy
I Look Pretty Tall But My Heels Are High
The Simple Things You See Are All Complicated
I Look Pretty Young, But I'm Just Back-dated, Yeah

Substitute Your Lies For Fact
I Can See Right Through Your Plastic Mac
I Look All White, But My Dad Was Black
My Fine Looking Suit Is Really Made Out Of Sack

I Was Born With A Plastic Spoon In My Mouth
The North Side Of My Town Faced East, And The East Was Facing South
And Now You Dare To Look Me In The Eye
Those Crocodile Tears Are What You Cry
It's A Genuine Problem, You Won't Try
To Work It Out At All You Just Pass It By, Pass It By

Substitute Me For Him
Substitute My Coke For Gin
Substitute You For My Mum
At Least I'll Get My Washing Done


Happy Jack - The Who

Happy Jack Wasn't Old, But He Was A Man
He Lived In The Sand At The Isle Of Man
The Kids Would All Sing, He Would Take The Wrong Key
So They Rode On His Head On Their Furry Donkey

The Kids Couldn't Hurt Jack
They Tried And Tried And Tried
They Dropped Things On His Back
And Lied And Lied And Lied And Lied And Lied

But They Couldn't Stop Jack, Or The Waters Lapping
And They Couldn't Prevent Jack From Feeling Happy

But They Couldn't Stop Jack, Or The Waters Lapping
And They Couldn't Prevent Jack From Feeling Happy

The Kids Couldn't Hurt Jack
They Tried And Tried And Tried
They Dropped Things On His Back
And Lied And Lied And Lied And Lied And Lied

But They Couldn't Stop Jack, Or The Waters Lapping
And They Couldn't Prevent Jack From Feeling Happy

(I Saw Ya!)


I'm A Boy - The Who

One girl was called Jean Marie
Another little girl was called Felicity
Another little girl was called Sally Joy
The other was me and I'm a boy
My name is Bill and I'm a head case
They practice making up on my face
Yeah, I feel lucky if I get trousers to wear
Spend evenings taking hair pins from my hair

I'm a boy, I'm a boy, but my Ma won't admit it
I'm a boy, i'm a boy if I say I am I get it

Put your frock on Jean Marie
Plait your hair Fe - licity
Paint your nails little Sally Joy
Put this wig on little boy

I'm a boy, I'm a boy, but my Ma won't admit it
I'm a boy, i'm a boy if I say I am I get it

Wanna play cricket on the green
Ride my bike across the stream
Cut myself and see my blood
Wanna come home all covered with mud

I'm a boy, I'm a boy, but my Ma won't admit it
I'm a boy, i'm a boy if I say I am I get it


Pinball Wizard - The Who

Ever since I was a young boy,
I've played the silver ball.
From Soho down to Brighton
I must have played them all.
But I ain't seen nothing like him
In any amusement hall...
That deaf dumb and blind kid
Sure plays a mean pin ball !

He stands like a statue,
Becomes part of the machine.
Feeling all the bumpers
Always playing clean.
He plays by intuition,
The digit counters fall.
That deaf dumb and blind kid
Sure plays a mean pin ball !

He's a pin ball wizard
There has got to be a twist.
A pin ball wizard,
S'got such a supple wrist.

'How do you think he does it? I don't know!
What makes him so good?'

He ain't got no distractions
Can't hear those buzzers and bells,
Don't see lights a flashin'
Plays by sense of smell.
Always has a replay,
'n' never tilts at all...
That deaf dumb and blind kid
Sure plays a mean pin ball.

I thought I was
The Bally table king.
But I just handed
My pin ball crown to him.

Even my usual table
He can beat my best.
His disciples lead him in
And he just does the rest.
He's got crazy flipper fingers
Never seen him fall...
That deaf dumb and blind kind
Sure plays a mean pin ball.!!!!!


In The City - The Who

Come along
Into the city
Where the girls are pretty
And you can't go wrong

Take your time
No need to hurry
Don't have to worry
Cause it won't take long

Well you can surf in the city
You can swim in the pools
Do anything you want
Because there ain't no rules
Drive your super-stock carbur to the long highway
And you can drag.

In the city in the falling right
The kids are hip and they can dance all night
In the city all the girls are pretty and they go...

Come along
Into the city
Where the girls are pretty
And you can't go wrong

Well you can surf in the city
You can swim in the pools
Do anything you want
Because there ain't no rules
Drive your super-stock carbur to the long highway
And you can drag.

In the city in the falling right
The kids are hip and they can dance all night
In the city all the girls are pretty and they go..

In the city, into the city...


Run Run Run - The Who

Run, run, run
Run, run, run
Run, run, run
Run, run, run

Well, baby better take my advice
A black cat crossed your path twice
The moon came out next to the sun
You opened your umbrella in a room
You better run, run, run
Run, run, run
Run, run, run
Run, run, run

Well, you ain't the luckiest girl I know
And you won't get luckier the way you're goin'
Your horseshoe's rusty and your mirror's cracked
You walk under ladders then you walk right back
You better run, run, run (Pack your bags and go)
Run, run, run (You better believe me)
Run, run, run (You better go)
Run, run, run

When you dropped that little pin
Never thought what a mess it would get you in
Little pin, little pin, bring me luck
Because I stopped to pick you up
You better run, run, run (Get away from here)
Run, run, run (Pack your bags and go)
Run, run, run (You've gotta go)
Run, run, run

Now little girl I'm helping you
I hope you believe what I say is true
Whenever you run I'll be running too
Whenever you run, I'll be following you
You better run, run, run
Run, run, run (You've gotta leave)
Run, run, run (You've gotta go)
Run, run, run
Run, run, run


Pictures Of Lilly - The Who

I used to wake up every morning
I used to feel so bad
I got so sick of having sleepless nights I went and told my dad
He said, "Son now here's some little somethings,"
And stuck them on my wall
Now my nights ain't quite so lonely, in fact I
I don't feel bad at all I don't feel bad at all

Pictures of Lily made my life so wonderful
Pictures of Lily helped me sleep at night
Pictures of Lily solved my childhood problem
Pictures of Lily helped me feel alright
Pictures of Lily Lily, oh, Lily
Lily, oh, Lily Pictures of Lily!

And then one day things weren't quite so fine
I fell in love with Lily
I asked my dad where Lily I could find
He said, "Son, now don't be silly.
She's been dead since 1929."
Oh, how I cried that night
If only I'd been born in Lily's time
It would have been alright

Pictures of Lily made my life so wonderful
Pictures of Lily helped me sleep at night
For me and Lily are together in my dreams
And I ask you, hey, mister, have you ever seen
Pictures of Lily?


A Legal Matter - The Who

I told you why I changed my mind
I got bored by playing with time
I know you thought you had me nailed
But I've freed my head from your garden rails

Now it's a legal matter, baby
You got me on the run
It's a legal matter, baby
A legal matter from now on

My mind's lost in a household fog
Wedding gowns and catalogs
Kitchen furnishings and houses
Maternity clothes and baby's trousers

Now it's a legal matter, baby
Marryin's no fun
It's a legal matter, baby
A legal matter from now on

I told you why I changed my mind
I got bored by playing with time
I know you thought you had me nailed
Well, I've freed my head from your garden rails

Now it's a legal matter, baby
You got me on the run
It's a legal matter, baby
A legal matter from now on

You ain't the first and you ain't the last
I gain and lose my women fast
I never want to make them cry
I just get bored, don't ask me why

Just wanna keep doing all the dirty little things I do
And not work all day in an office just to bring my money back to you
Sorry, baby


In The Midnight Hour - Wilson Pickett

I'm gonna wait 'til the midnight hour
That's when my love comes a tumbling down
I'm gonna wait 'til the midnight hour
That's when there's no one else around
I'm gonna take you, gonna hold you

Midnight hour, oh baby

And see the sweet look in your eye
I'm gonna wait 'til the midnight hour
That's when my love begins to shine<

Well you're the only girl I know

That's when my love comes tumbling down
I'm gonna wait 'til the midnight hour
That's when there's no one else around

I'm gonna take you, gonna hold you
Do all the things I told ya
Midnight hour, oh baby

Stagger Lee - Wilson Pickett

The night was clear and the moon was yellow
And the leaves came tumbling down

I was standing on the corner when I heard my bulldog bark
He was barkin' at the two men who were gamblin' in the dark
It was Stagger Lee and Billy, two men who gambled late
Stagger Lee threw seven, Billy swore that he threw eight

Stagger Lee told Billy, "I can't let you go with that"
"You have won all my money and my brand new stetson hat"
Stagger Lee started off goin' down that railroad track
He said "I can't get you Billy but don't be here when I come back"

Stagger Lee went home and he got his fourty-four
Said "I'm goin' to the barroom just to pay that debt I owe"
Stagger Lee went to the barroom and he stood across the barroom door
He said "Nobody move" and he pulled his fourty-four

Stagger Lee shot Billy, oh he shot that poor boy so bad
Till the bullet came through Billy and it broke the bartender's glass


Mustang Sally - Wilson Pickett

Mustang Sally
Guess you better slow your mustang down

Ride Sally ride
All you want to do is ride around Sally
Ride Sally ride
All you want to do is ride around Sally
Ride Sally ride
All you want to do is ride around Sally

One of these early mornings baby
Gonna be wipin' your weepin' eyes

I bought you a brand new mustang
'bout nineteen sixty five
Now you come 'round, signifying a woman baby

Mustang Sally
Guess you better slow your mustang down
You've been runnin' all over the town now
Got to put your flat feet on the ground

Moscow - Wonderland

So suddenly she put the hurt on me
The guiding light that used to make the darkness bright.
And I can never never never love again
I will forever ever ever feel the same
She's gone home again without a word,
Moscow, that's all I know Moscow
Moscow, where shall I go in Moscow
But I've gotta back again
So today I'll take the train to Moscow
Look everywhere ask everybody there
Help me to find once more my peace of mind
Till then I'll knock knock knock on every door
Like I will walk and talk and talk and walk
And call without her by my side I can't come back,
Moscow, that's all I know Moscow
where shall I go in Moscow
I'll find out if I was just a toy
Just another little boy for here.
But I've gotta her back again
So today I'll take the train to Moscow.
