Behind Blue Eyes



No one knows what its like
To be the bad man
To be the sad man
Behind blue eyes

No one knows what its like
To be hated
To be fated
To telling only lies

But my dreams
They arent as empty
As my conscience seems to be

I have hours, only lonely
My love is vengeance
Thats never free

No one knows what its like
To feel these feelings
Like I do
And I blame you

No one bites back as hard
On their anger
None of my pain and woe
Can show through

But my dreams
They arent as empty
As my conscience seems to be

I have hours, only lonely
My love is vengeance
Thats never free

When my fist clenches, crack it open
Before I use it and lose my cool
When I smile, tell me some bad news
Before I laugh and act like a fool

If I swallow anything evil
Put your finger down my throat
If I shiver, please give me a blanket
Keep me warm, let me wear your coat

No one knows what its like
To be the bad man
To be the sad man
Behind blue eyes

Rövid történet:
The Who zenekart 1964-ben Pete Townshend alapította, Roger Daltrey énekessel, John Entwistle basszusgitárossal és Keith Moon dobossal.
A zenekart a hard rock egyik legnagyobb és legbefolyásosabb együttesének tartják.
Korai korszakuk punk stílusjegyeket mutatott (gyakran nevezik őket "A punk nagyapjainak": forrás: wikipédia), majd 1969-ben megalkották a rocktörténelem első rockoperáját, a Tommy-t.
A fenegyerek "rosszfiúkként" törtek zúztak, őrjöngtek rendesen a színpadon.
1978-ban elhunyt Keith Moon, helyére Kenney Jones érkezett a The Small Facesből.

Mindig szívesen nosztalgiázom velük.

A fenti dal is a kedvencek között.
