Evolution - Pete Townshend[00:00:00]
Written by:Ronnie Lane[00:00:01]
Well once I was a stone many years ago[00:00:31]
Into a pool was thrown[00:00:35]
Many years ago[00:00:38]
Time went by and the pool ran dry[00:00:40]
Excavated was I[00:00:42]
And tempered and beat in the fiery heat[00:00:43]
By the hand of a man[00:00:45]
Whose name was Dan[00:00:47]
Dan the blacksmith[00:00:50]
Well once I was a daisy[00:00:55]
Many years ago[00:00:57]
In pastures green and lazy many years ago[00:00:59]
But I was et by a goat who fell in a moat[00:01:03]
And forgetting to float he[00:01:05]
Sunk like a lead and stayed until dead[00:01:07]
And was relieved to find[00:01:09]
Just how kind[00:01:11]
It all was[00:01:14]
Well once I was a bullfrog[00:01:18]
Had to struggle for survival[00:01:20]
And once I was a carp and[00:01:23]
Lived in waters on the meadow[00:01:25]
And once I was a mynah bird[00:01:27]
Quoting verses from the Bible[00:01:29]
I said pretty boy[00:01:31]
A pretty boy[00:01:34]
Saint Luke[00:01:36]
Then I was born a human baby[00:02:29]
Many years ago[00:02:32]
I remember I was born unto a lady[00:02:34]
Many years ago[00:02:36]
All our hopes were piled on the back of a child[00:02:38]
Who turned out to be wild[00:02:40]
Sent the devil a prayer[00:02:41]
Caused the parson to swear so I took my leave[00:02:42]
To lie and thieve on[00:02:46]
My way to jail[00:02:48]
Well I've been a tinker[00:02:52]
Tailor soldier sailor[00:02:54]
Known good times and disaster[00:02:55]
But now I have a teacher[00:02:57]
And my teacher has a master[00:02:59]
And the master is perfection[00:03:02]
So he'll help us get there faster[00:03:04]
Don't need no proof[00:03:06]
'Cause that's the truth[00:03:08]
And I'll drink to that[00:03:10]
