The Who - 1921

From the album "Tommy".
Written by Pete Townshend.

Lover:
Got a feeling '21
Is going to be a good year,
Especially if you and me
See it in together.

Father:
So you think '21
Is going to be a good year?
It could be good for me and her,
But you and her - no, never!
I had no reason to be over optimistic,
But somehow, when you smiled
I could brave bad weather...

Mother:
What about the boy?
What about the boy?
What about the boy?
He saw it all!

Mother & Father
(Tommy):
You didn't hear it.
(I heard it)
You didn't see it.
(I saw it)
You won't say nothing to no one
(I won't say nothing to no one)
Never in your life.
(never in my life)
You never heard it.
(I heard it)
Oh, how silly it all seems
Without any proof.
(How silly it all seems without any proof)
You didn't hear it.
(I heard it)
You didn't see it.
(I saw it)
You never heard it - not a word of it!
(I heard it - every word of it)
You won't say nothing to no one,
(I won't say nothing to no one)
Never tell a soul
What you know is the truth.
(Never tell a soul
What I know is the truth)

Father:

Got a feeling '21
Is going to be a good year,
Especially if you and me
See it in together.
Got a feeling '21
Is going to be a good year,
Especially if you and me
See it in together.
I had no reason to be over-optimistic,
But somehow, when you smiled, I could brave bad weather...

Mother:

What about the boy...?

Love the song, glad the car is comming to Pop Culture by Hot Wheels. Still I wish The Beatles and The Police should be in 2013 Pop Culture. Perhaps next year.

Ikr? Unfortunately, from what I have seen from surfing the Web, many would not say the same things. For example: on Rate Your Music, Tommy has an average rating of 3.93/5.00. Tommy is ranked #22 for 1969, and has an overall ranking of #422. Many reviews say that Tommy is overrated, pretentious, overlong and full of filler, as well as having very poor production. Sigh.... :(

well i don't know who, with half a brain, would underrate anything PT has ever done let alone Tommy. It is so far ahead of it's time its ridiculous.
