'HEART TO HANG ONTO'
Written By Pete Townshend/Ronnie Lane

Johnny boy, he's always propping up the bar
He's sees life crystallized through his jar
He says he only lives for beer
But deep in his heart is a cry of fear

Give me a heart to hang onto
Give me a soul that's tailored new
Give me a heart to hang onto
A heart to hang onto

Sally seems to get bigger everyday
She evens out in a contented way
A finger on the pulse of every guy
But deep in the night you can hear her cry

Give me a heart to hang onto
Give me a life that's tailored new
Give me a heart to hang onto
Oh please a heart to hang onto

Give me heart to hang onto
Give me a soul that's tailored new
Give me a heart to hang onto

Danny, he wants to save for a new guitar
He's going to learn to play but he won't get far
He thinks it's an easy going' high
But his whole life is just another try

Give me a heart to hang onto
Give me a suit that's tailored true
Give me a heart to hang onto
A heart to hang onto

I need a heart... to hang onto...

[TrickyTolles64]

Townshend 'underated'? Not to WHO fans. Like Daltrey once said, 'I'm playin' with the best fuckin' guitarist in the world!'

Right on Rog!

LONG LIVE ROCK!

[HumboldtMike]

Just have to say... Ronnie Lane.

[unemployable777]

Vedder is a bloody legend

[1958fanman]

tell me of another band that has written a rock opera !

the stones tried but the album never caught on

[makissoflife]

The look on Eddie's face is worth a million. Can only imagine what could have been going through his mind being up on stage on Letterman with one of his biggest musical influences...priceless. Pete is a musical genius...Eddie followed in his footsteps for sure...another musical genius...hats off to both. Thanks for posting*****

@oiyabastard Vedder is Pete fan, don't y know?

[toddhehl]

Watch Stu when the band breaks....he wants to be Pete when he grows up....NTTAWWT....lol

[alsaxe1]

@TrickyTolles64 ..i love the who..they have been my favorite band since 69. Having said that, Pete isn't a great soloist. He hits alot of bad notes when he tries to solo using single notes....its seems as if he gets so intense that he flies by the seat of his pants..

[oiyabastard]

bedder with no vedder

[priapus56]

@vicfra64 Agreed.

[vicfra64]

@priapus56 ...agreed...but he's an outstanding songwriter

[F3FisGoodforYou]
