Radio Paradise (mobile)

Why should I care, if I have to cut my hair?
I got to move with the fashion, or be outcast
I know I should fight
but my old man is really alright
And I'm still living at home, even though it won't last
Zoot suit, white jacket with side vents five inches long
I'm out on the street again, and I'm leaping along
Dressed right
For a beach fight
But I just can't explain
Why that uncertain feeling, is still here in my brain
The kids at school have parents that seem so cool
And though I don't want to hurt em', mine want me their way
I clean my room and my shoes
But my Momma found a box of blues
And there doesn't seem much hope they'll let me stay
Zoot suit, white jacket with side vents five inches long
I'm out on the street again, and I'm leaping along
Dressed right
For a beach fight
But I just can't explain
Why that uncertain feeling is still here in my brain
Why do I have to be different to them
Just to earn the respect of a dance hall friend?
We have the same old row again and again
Why do I have to move with a crowd, of kids that hardly notice I'm around?
I work myself to death, just to fit in
I'm comin' down
Got home on the very first train from town
My dad just left for work, and he wasn't talking
It's all a game
And inside I'm just the same
My fried egg makes me sick first thing in the morning

Plus, they were one of the finest gigging bands around with performances that went on for hours. For further edification: check out the Who's performance at the Isle of Wight in 1970. All of them tearing their way through a late night, 3 hour set. Essence of R & R. [ Reply ]

And Cut My Hair just soars. Followed by David Crosby's "Almost Cut My Hair" and "Hair"—I'd opt for The Cowsills' version. [ Reply ]

Put as many spaces as you like, if what you are writing is interpreted by HTML all contiguous whitespace is condensed into a single space. It seems your double spaces have already been pried from your warm, living digits. One can still type HTML commands for " non-breaking spaces " with warm, living digits, if such a thing is desired. Great song, by the way. [ Reply ]
Gretchen_+_Music Nov 01, 2011 - 09:13	Seriously...let's keep going with the rest of the album... This and "Quadrophenia" have made my day. Thanks! [ Reply ]

Art_Carnage Jan 21, 2011 - 22:53	I've seen 'em live thrice. It's just an amazing experience. The second time, they did an abbreviated version of 'Tommy" in the middle of the set. Just awesome. [ Reply ]
