The Who

The Who - Guitar And Pen songtekst

Je score:

You're alone above the street somewhere
 Wondering how you'll ever count out there

 You can walk, you can talk, you can fight
 But inside you've got something to write
 In your hand you hold your only friend
 Never spend your guitar or your pen
 Your guitar or your pen
 Your guitar or your pen
 Your guitar or your pen
 Your guitar or your pen

 When you take up a pencil and sharpen it up
 When you're kicking the fence and still nothing will budge
 When the words are immobile until you sit down
 Never feel they're worth keeping, they're not easily found
 Then you know in some strange, unexplainable way
 You must really have something
 Jumping, thumping, fighting, hiding away
 Important to say

 When you sing through the verse and you end in a scream
 And you swear and you curse 'cause the rhyming ain't clean
 But it suddenly comes after years of delay
 You pick up your guitar, you can suddenly play
 When your fingers are bleeding and the knuckles are white
 Then you can be sure, you can open the door
 Get off of the floor tonight
 You have something to write

 When you want to complain, there's no one can stop you
 But when your music proclaims, there's no one can top you
 You are wearing you heart on your jumping feet
 You've got a head start away from the street

 But is that what you want, to be rich and be gone?
 Could be there's just one thing left in the end
 Your guitar and your pen

 When you sing to your mum, and you hum and you croon
 And she says that she'd like it "with more of a tune"
 And you smash your guitar at the end of the bed
 Then you stick it together and start writing again
 And you know that it won't be too long 'til your back
 To bring her some money, she's calling you "honey"
 Stashed in a bloody great sack
 In your Cadillac

 You're alone
 You're alone

 You're alone above the street somewhere
 Wondering how you'll ever count out there

 You can walk, you can talk, you can fight
 But inside you've got something to write
 In your hand you hold your only friend
 Never spend your guitar or your pen
 Your guitar or your pen
Your guitar or your pen
 Your guitar or your pen
 Your guitar or your pen
 Your guitar or your pen
 Your guitar or your pen
 Your guitar or your pen

 Never spend your guitar or your pen
