Slit Skirts (Album Version) - Pete Townshend[00:00:00]
Written by:Pete Townsh[00:00:00]
I was just thirty four years old[00:00:09]
And I was still wandering in a haze[00:00:11]
I was wondering why everyone I met seemed like they were[00:00:16]
Lost in a maze[00:00:20]
I don't know why I thought I should have some kind of[00:00:24]
Divine right to the blues[00:00:27]
It's sympathy not tears people need when they're the[00:00:31]
Front page sad news[00:00:34]
The incense burned away[00:00:38]
And the stench began to rise[00:00:42]
And lovers now estranged[00:00:46]
Avoided catching each others' eyes[00:00:48]
And girls who lost their children[00:00:53]
Cursed the men who fit the coil[00:00:55]
And men not fit for marriage[00:00:58]
Took their refuge in the oil[00:01:00]
No one respects the flame[00:01:03]
Quite like the fool who's badly burned[00:01:06]
From all this you'd imagine[00:01:09]
That there must be something learned[00:01:11]
Slit skirts[00:01:17]
Jeanie never wears those slit skirts[00:01:19]
I don't ever wear no ripped shirts[00:01:22]
Can't pretend that growing older never hurts[00:01:26]
Knee pants[00:01:31]
Jeanie never wears no knee pants[00:01:33]
Have to be so drunk to try a new dance[00:01:36]
So afraid of every new romance[00:01:40]
Slit skirts slit skirt[00:01:45]
Jeanie isn't wearing those slit skirts slit skirt[00:01:47]
She wouldn't dare in those slit skirts slit skirt[00:01:51]
Wouldn't be seen dead in no slit skirt[00:01:54]
Romance romance why aren't we thinking up romance[00:02:00]
Why can't we drink it up true heart romance[00:02:05]
Just need a brief new romance[00:02:09]
Let me tell you some more about myself[00:02:14]
You know I'm sitting at home just now[00:02:17]
The big events of the day I passed[00:02:21]
On the late tv shows have come around[00:02:23]
I'm number one in the home team[00:02:29]
But I still feel unfulfilled[00:02:32]
A silent voice in a broken heart complaining[00:02:36]
That I'm unskilled[00:02:39]
And I know that when she thinks of me[00:02:43]
She thinks of me as him[00:02:47]
But unlike me she don't work off her frustration in the gym[00:02:50]
Recriminations fester[00:02:58]
And the past can never change[00:03:00]
A woman's expectations run from both ends of the range[00:03:03]
Once she walked with untamed lovers' face between her legs[00:03:08]
Now he's cooled and stifled[00:03:13]
And it's she who has to beg[00:03:16]
Slit skirts[00:03:21]
Jeanie never wears those slit skirts[00:03:23]
And I don't ever wear no ripped shirts[00:03:26]
Can't pretend that growing older never hurts[00:03:30]
Knee pants[00:03:35]
Jeanie never wears no knee pants[00:03:37]
We have to be so drunk to try a new dance[00:03:40]
So afraid of every new romance[00:03:44]
Slit skirts slit skirt[00:03:49]
Jeanie isn't wearing those slit skirts slit skirt[00:03:51]
She wouldn't dare in those slit skirts slit skirt[00:03:55]
Wouldn't be seen dead in no slit skirt[00:03:58]
Slit skirts slit skirt[00:04:03]
Jeanie isn't wearing those slit skirts slit skirt[00:04:05]
She wouldn't dare in those slit skirts slit skirt[00:04:09]
Wouldn't be seen dead in no slit skirt[00:04:12]
Romance romance[00:04:17]
Why aren't we thinking up romance[00:04:19]
Why can't we drink it up true heart romance[00:04:23]
Just need a brief new romance[00:04:27]
