Pete Townsend Hiding Out

[johnmcluskey]

This song is amazing and I love Pete's voice and genius. The film is also superb and worth watching.

I've always liked this tune. It's bouncy, but the lyrics are a little dark. Pete Townshend is an unsung musical genuis. More deserving of airplay than these hacks we have today.

From my window I see roads...

I knew a girl named Rose.  I would sing that instead. Great song, great album, great memories.

Bought this album when it came out. I ABSOLUTELY loved it!! It's one of those treasures you rediscover after so many years.

[gifu1960]

I love this song;

I love the entire White City album.

I like the pacing of the lyrics in this song, a kind of syncopated differentiation between the background singers and Pete.

[dersh65]

@gifu1960 The magic of Pete!!!

[paulir]

Cool song

[7rays]

I look over chequered fields

And the towering web of steel

Young and old will sit and judge unfeeling

While the empty churches' bells are pealing

And the green hills lay ignored, untended

Lonely watchers remain unbefriended

And out in the one-way streets

Is a swelling maze, without a door

I am safe-hidden here

Hiding out

[speedofc]

From my window I see roads

Lead to darkness, leading home

In the midnight of a soul's unsleeping

Hear the waterfall of women weeping

Hear the distant noise of traffic stalling

Hear the prostituted children calling.

Pete Townsend, a great artist and a fabulous CD!!! "White City" one of my favorites.

[RioGiovanni]

isn't it "in the midnight all the souls are sleeping?" 'Cause that'd make more sense :D

Love this song. Woke up this morning just wanting to hear it.

[mimsmagz]

I am safe,hidden here.I am safe!

[Haileysgramma]

Hiding out...........................­......

[Teflon65]

This was a B-side, I think, backed with "Face the Face". This song was often on the overhead music of a taco place we used to frequent. I always loved this song. It has good music, and great lyrics.

[PrplHazel]

I am safe hidden here, too. Hiding out

[Raskolnilov]

I look over the checkered fields And the towering web of steel Young and old will sit and judge unfeeling While the empty church's bells are pealing And the green hills lay ignored, untended Lonely watchers remain unbefriended And out in the one way streets Is a swelling maze, without a door I am safe-hidden here I am safe-hidden here Hiding out
