The Who
- The following was transcribed from my copy of a compilation of The Whos'
lesser known works titled "Hooligns" The song is listed both on the cover
and inner sleeve without a "The" in the title and is credited, as are most
of The Whos' compositions, to Pete Townshend, released by Fabulous Music Ltd
in 1972.
You can hear it in the street,
See it in the dragging feet,
The word is getting out about control,
Spies they're come and gone,
The story travels on,
The only quiet place is inside your soul.
From tree to tree,
BRFrom you to me,
BRTravelling twice as fast as on any freeway.
BREv'ry single dream
BRIs wrapped up in the scheme,
BRThey all get carried on the relay.
BR
BR"Pass it on."
BR
BRSomeone disapproves
BROf what you say or do,
BRI was asked to see what I could learn you;
BRDon't believe your eyes,
BRThey're seeing only lies,
BRWhat is done in the first place don't concern you.
BR
BRFrom tree to tree ........ etc.
BR
BRRelay, things are brewing,
BRRelay, something's doin'
BRRelay, it's a revolution,
BRRelay, relay,
BRHand me down a solution!
BR
BR"Pass it on."
