Quadrophenia Page #7

- I'm f***ing lucky, am I?

- Course you are.

- You're a bastard.

- I didn't see you.

- F*** off! Go away!

Fifteen years of driving,

I've never had an accident.

Never had a f***ing accident.

You got me! Why didn't you kill me?

All of you f***ing Mr. Postmen!

F*** off!

- Come on, let's do our report.

- F*** off!

Why should I care?

He-man drag in a glittering ballroom

Greyly outrageous

in my high-heeled shoes

Tightly undone

Know what they're showing

Sadly ecstatic

that their heroes are news

Girls of 15

Sexually knowing

The ushers are sniffing

Eau-de-cologning

The seats are seductive

Celibate sitting

Pretty girls digging

Prettier women

Magically bored

on a quiet street corner

Free frustration

in our minds and our toes

Quiet storm water

M-m-my generation

Uppers and downers

Either way, blood flows

Inside, outside

Leave me alone

Inside, outside

Nowhere is home

Inside, outside

Where have I been?

Out of my brain on the 5.15

Out of my brain on the train

Out of my brain on the train

On the train

I'm out of my brain

Only love

Can make it rain

The way the beach

Is kissed by the sea

Only love

Can make it rain

Like the sweat of lovers

Layin' in the fields

Reign o'er me

Reign o'er me Rain on me

Love

Reign o'er me

Reign o'er me Rain on me

On the dry and dusty road

The nights we spent apart alone

I need to get back home

To cool, cool rain

I can't sleep and I lay and I think

The night is hot and black as ink

Oh, God, I need a drink

Of cool, cool rain

Love

Reign o'er me

Rain over me, over me, over me

Love

Reign o'er me

O'er me...

F*** it!

Love

F*** it!

A beach is a place

where a man can feel

He's the only soul in the world

that's real

But I see a face

coming through the haze

I remember him from those crazy days

Crazy days

Ain't you the guy

who used to set the paces...

Come along, lad, what's been keeping

you? Get a move on with those cases.

I don't suppose you would remember me

I used to follow you back in '63

I've got a good job and I'm newly born

You should see me

dressed up in my uniform

I'm workin' in a hotel

All gilt and flash

Remember the gaff

with the doors we smashed?

Bell boy

I've gotta get runnin' now

Bell boy

Keep my lip buttoned down

Bell boy

Carry this baggage out

- Bell boy

- Bell boy!

Bell boy!

You were under the impression

That when you were walking forwards

That you'd end up further onwards

But things ain't quite that simple

You got altered information

You were told to not take chances

You missed out on new dances

Now you're losin' all your pimples

My jacket's gonna be cut slim

and checked

Maybe a touch of seersucker

with an open neck

I ride a GS scooter

with my hair cut neat

I wear my wartime coat

in the wind and sleet

Love

Reign o'er me

Love

Reign o'er me

Love

I've had enough of living

I've had enough of dying

I've had enough of smiling

I've had enough of crying

Taken all the high roads

I've squandered and I've saved

I've had enough of childhood

I've had enough of graves

Love

Reign o'er me

Love

Reign o'er me...

Me!

Love

I've had enough of dancehalls

I've had enough of pills

I've had enough of street fights

I've seen my share of kills

I'm finished with the fashions

And acting like I'm tough

I'm bored with hate and passion

I've had enough of trying to...

You stopped dancin'

Laugh and say I'm green

I've seen things you've never seen

Talk behind my back

I walk the beaten track

I'll take on anyone

Ain't scared of a bloody nose

Drink till I drop down

With one eye on my clothes

What is it? I'll take it

Who is she? I'll rave it

Got a Vespa? I'll need it

Gettin' high?

You can't beat it

What is it? I'll take it

Who is she? I'll rave it

Doctor Jimmy and Mr. Jim

When I'm pilled

you're gonna notice him

He only comes out

when I drink my gin
