The Sea Refuses No River - Pete Townshend[00:00:00]
I remember being richer than a king[00:00:21]
The minutes of the day were golden[00:00:24]
I recall that when the joint passed round[00:00:28]
My body felt a little colder[00:00:31]
But now I'm like a sewer channel running lime and scag[00:00:35]
Let me get at the master panel let me at my stack[00:00:42]
The sea refuses no river[00:00:50]
And right now this river's banks are blown[00:00:54]
The sea refuses no river[00:01:01]
Whether stinking and rank[00:01:04]
Or red from the tank[00:01:06]
Whether pure as a spring[00:01:08]
There's no damned thing stops the poem[00:01:10]
The sea refuses no river[00:01:15]
And this river is homeward flowing[00:01:20]
I have seen a trace of strain[00:01:37]
In other's eyes not spoken[00:01:40]
I must admit that I enjoyed their pain[00:01:43]
But this time it's me that's broken[00:01:46]
I demand for you and his[00:01:51]
This must be the time[00:01:54]
When we decide what freedom is[00:01:57]
Turn water into wine[00:02:00]
For the sea refuses no river[00:02:05]
We're polluted now but in our hearts still clean[00:02:09]
The sea refuses no river[00:02:16]
We tried not to age[00:02:20]
But time had it's rage[00:02:21]
We're washed over stones[00:02:23]
From babes into clones of the mean[00:02:25]
The sea won't refuse this muddy river[00:02:30]
Nor deny the sulfurous stream[00:02:35]
There was a fool in a dressing robe[00:03:40]
Riding out the twilight hour[00:03:44]
Lonely and cold in an empty home[00:03:47]
Trying to assess his power[00:03:51]
But now he's like a stream in flood[00:03:54]
Swollen by the storm[00:03:58]
He doesn't care if he sheds his blood[00:04:02]
Let him be reborn[00:04:05]
For the sea refuses no river[00:04:10]
Remember that when the beggar buys a round[00:04:13]
The sea refuses no river[00:04:20]
And rain fills the gutters[00:04:24]
No time for stutters[00:04:26]
This is our chance[00:04:27]
To sing and to dance and to clown[00:04:29]
The sea refuses no river[00:04:34]
And rivers were sprung to drown[00:04:40]
The sea refuses no river[00:04:48]
No pecking code respected for the damned[00:04:52]
The sea refuses no river[00:04:59]
Whether starving or ill[00:05:02]
Or strung on some pill[00:05:04]
Just 'cause you own the land[00:05:06]
There's no unique hand plugs the dam[00:05:08]
The sea refuses no river[00:05:13]
And the river is where I am[00:05:18]
The river is where I am[00:05:39]
