The Who - They're All In Love

The Who playing "They're All In Love" from their studio album The Who By Numbers, released in 1975.

Lyrics:

Where do you walk on sunny times
When the rivers gleam and the buildings shine
How do you feel goin' up hallowed halls
And the summer clothes brighten gloomy halls

And they're all in love
And they're all in love

Where do you fit in zzzzip magazine
Where the past is the hero and the present a queen
Just tell me right now where do you fit in
With mud in your eye and a passion for gin

And they're all in love
And they're all in love

Hey, goodbye all you punks
Stay young and stay high
Hand me my checkbook
And I'll crawl off to die

But like a woman in childbirth
Grown ugly in a flash
I'm seen magic and fame
Now I'm recycling trash

And they're all in love
And they're all in love
And they're all in love
And they're all in love

"now I'm recycling trash" I sure am glad Pete changed his mind on just what "trash" is or we'd never hear some really great songs live ever again. When are they gonna do "A Quick One" live again?

"You are forgiven"

[PhilCastro9851]

this album is criminally underrated

[LoveRegin1973]

This album has to be one of the most underrated albums in rock history and this song is a great song off of it.

[MrCrosstiewalker]

I think it was a statement of Pete's own feelings at the time, just honest and not at all over-produced....

[ZoomyMcFlywire]

Nicky Hopkins in playing piano on this song, he was the greatest rock pianist of that era. Played with the Stones and the Who among countless others. R.I.P. Mr. Hopkins

I'm pretty sure the line is not "going up hallowed halls," but instead "when the pollen falls."

This is one of my all time favorite Who albums that time seems to have forgotten.

My favorite song.

@PhilCastro9851

You got that right!!!

Oh, I had forgotten all about this song, it makes me melt....

[AdamsApple1963]

I read in the CD notes that during the time the Who were recording this album, the band had broken ties with Track Records, their U.K. label. Plus, Pete and Moon were drinking too much. Pete had just turned 30...he was afraid his own band was turning into a circus act...and he was starting to wonder about that infamous line, "Hope I die before I get old," something he wrote 10 years earlier at 20. (By the way, this was the first Who album I ever bought; I was 12 at the time!)

@biggibson49 thinking about it now, it is moon. he did a lot of stuff in the studio you just didn't get from him live. this is a very tight and considered drum track that almost doesn't sound like him. maybe he was staying faithful to one of petes demos? anyway that's another rabbit hole we needn't go down :) check out the isolated drum track for pinball wizard that someone has posted - it's amazing. he was an enigma!

[biggibson49]

@alidonli Ya know you may be right. But I have never heard Pete play cymbal flourishes like this. And with those tight short rolls at the beginning of the second verse and fills after....I take it back. Think this is Keith. Fun to figure out though. Thanks for the post.
