Blue Red and Grey - The Who cover

HQstereo sound - http://ca.youtube.com/watch?v=QxdNdPieC6s&fmt=18

Yep..you guessed it...another WHO cover !!(when I get into a mode, there is no 'OFF' switch)...well this one is from 1975's 'The Who By Numbers' and is really a Pete Townshend solo performance on a ukelele!!..but I had the idea of maybe making it into a full blown rock number !!(I actually heard they did record a rock version, but is sadly lost) It works too, well !!I messed up a few words...but...I WHOpe everyone likes it..

Blue, Red and Grey - The Who
By Pete Townshend

Some people seem so obsessed with the morning
Get up early just to watch the sun rise
Some people like it more when there's fire in the sky
Worship the sun when it's high
Some people go for those sultry evenings
Sipping cocktails in the blue, red and grey
But I like every minute of the day

I like every second, so long as you are on my mind
Every moment has its special charm
It's all right when you're around, rain or shine

I know a crowd who only live after midnight
Their faces always seem so pale
And then there's friends of mine who must have sunlight
They say a suntan never fails

I know a man who works the night shift
He's lucky to get a job and some pay
but I like every minute of the day

hey..hey....
I like every second
I can laugh in the pouring rain
I get a buzz from being cold and wet
The pleasure seems to balance out the pain

And so you see that I'm completely crazy
I've even shunned the south of France
The people on the hill, they say I'm lazy
But when they sleep, I sing and dance

Some people go for those sultry evenings sipping
cocktails in the blue, red and grey
But I like every minute of the day

I like every minute of the day

FU Eddie, you lured me in with Blue Red N Grey and caught my eye with this. I was about to berate you with the stiffness and rush at the beginning until the "band" appeared. My dissent melted away and I was left face to face with another (brilliant) Who fan. The cinematography is great. SOB...I' subscribing.
