Run, run, run
Run, run, run Run, run, run Run, run, run Well baby, better take my advice A black cat crossed your path twice The moon came out next to the 1 Then you opened your umbrella in a room Chorus You better run, run, run Run, run, run Run, run, run Run, run, run Well you ain't the luckiest girl I know And you won't get luckier the way you're going Your horseshoe's rusty and your mirror's cracked You walk under ladders then you walk right back Chorus When you dropped that little pin Never thought what a mess it'd get you in Little pin, little pin, bring me luck Because I stopped to pick you up Chorus Well now, little girl, I'm helping you I hope you believe what I say is true Whenever you run, I'll be running too Whenever you run, I'll be following you Chorus Run, run, run 02. Boris The Spider
Look, he's crawling up my wall
Black and hairy, very small Now he's up above my head Hanging by a little thread Boris the spider Boris the spider Now he's dropped on to the floor Heading for the bedroom door Maybe he's as scared as me Where's he gone now, I can't see Boris the spider Boris the spider Creepy, crawly Creepy, crawly Creepy, creepy, crawly, crawly Creepy, creepy, crawly, crawly Creepy, creepy, crawly, crawly Creepy, creepy, crawly, crawly There he is wrapped in a ball Doesn't seem to move at all Perhaps he's dead, I'll just make sure Pick this book up off the floor Boris the spider Boris the spider Creepy, crawly Creepy, crawly Creepy, creepy, crawly, crawly Creepy, creepy, crawly, crawly Creepy, creepy, crawly, crawly Creepy, creepy, crawly, crawly He's come to a sticky end Don't think he will ever mend Never more will he crawl 'round He's embedded in the ground Boris the spider Boris the spider 03. I Need You
Knowing
Is what people tell you That you're thinking wrong Embrace you, But they really mean "So long" You talk to them They laugh aloud Yet they run to you In any crowd Please talk to me again I need you We're dancing We will come and dance near you We want to learn Let us come and sitar with you Distort my ears when The music's loud Yet you raise your hatchet In the yellow crowd Please talk to me again I need you Knowing Is what people tell you That you're thinking wrong Embrace you, But they really mean "So long" You talk to them They laugh aloud Yet they run to you In any crowd Please talk to me again I need you 04. Whiskey Man
Whiskey Man's my friend, he's with me nearly all the time
He always joins me when I drink, and we get on just fine Nobody has ever seen him, I'm the only one Seemingly I must be mad, Insanity is fun If that's the way it's done Doctors say he just a figment of my twisted mind If they can't see my Whiskey Man they must be going blind Two men dressed in white collected me two days ago They said there's only room for one and Whiskey Man can't go Whiskey Man will waste away if he's left on his own I can't even ring him 'cause he isn't on the phone Hasn't got a home Life is very gloomy in my little padded cell It's a shame there wasn't room for Whiskey Man as well Whiskey Man's my friend, he's with me nearly all the time He always joins me when I drink, and we get on just fine Just fine 05. Heat Wave
Heat wave
Heat wave Whenever I'm with you Something inside Starts to burn deep And my heart's filled with fire Could be that I'm very sentimental Or is this just the way love's supposed to be? Chorus I got a heat wave Burning in my heart I can't keep from crying Tearing me apart Sometimes she calls my name Yeah, yeah, yeah, I can't explain I feel, yeah I feel I feel this burning flame This high blood pressure's got a hold on me 'Cause this is the way love's supposed to be Chorus Oh yeah Oh yeah Oh yeah Oh yeah Just give me another chance This could be a new romance Heat wave Heat wave Heat wave Heat wave 07. Don't Look Away
Don't go and hide
Yesterday you were my girlfiend If you do My inside goes around and around in a whirlwind There's a stone in my shoe So I can't catch you up My head's in a lion's mouth Wants to eat me up Right here today Don't look away I've always been true And I still love you So don't look away There's a lot you can do To get me away You've got to stay Don't look away Don't look away I once heard you say If I ever was down you would help me Now my head's being chewed up You pretend that you don't see There's a stone in my shoe So I can't catch you up My head's in a lion's mouth Wants to eat me up Right here today Don't look away I've always been true And I still love you So don't look away There's a lot you can do To get me away You've got to stay Don't look away Don't look away I've always been true And I still love you So don't look away There's a lot you can do To get me away You've got to stay Don't look away Don't look away Don't look away Don't look away Don't look away 08. See My Way
Some way, some day, I'll find a way
To make you see my way Even if you don't think like I do You know that it's true It's your mind that I seek Tried so hard to make me think my point of view was bad Although at times when you kept on I thought that I was mad I'm glad it's goodbye You don't have to ask why Come back another day Come back when you see my way You see my way Tried so hard to make me think my point of view was bad Although at times when you kept on I thought that I was mad Some way, some day, I'll find a way To make you see my way I'm glad it's goodbye You don't have to ask why Come back another day Come back when you see my way You see my way You see my way More lyrics: http://www.lyricsmania.com/see_my_way_lyrics_the_who.html All about The Who: http://www.musictory.com/music/The+Who 09.

Disguises
I used to know everything about you
But today when I tried to point you out to one of my friends I picked the wrong girl again Don't see you in the crowd anymore I think it's you but I can't be sure You're wearing disguises Occasionally a girl surprises me When she turns out to be you Wearing disguises I don't think you want me to see you ever again And today I saw you dressed as a flower bed Last week you had a wig on your head Directing traffic in the street And your shoes were too big for your feet You were wearing disguises Occasionally a girl surprises me When she turns out to be you Wearing disguises {repeat first verse} Wearing disguises Wearing disguises Wearing disguises Wearing disguises More lyrics: http://www.lyricsmania.com/disguises_lyrics_the_who.html All about The Who: http://www.musictory.com/music/The+Who 15. Doctor, Doctor
Doctor, there's something wrong with me
My health is not all that it used to be My heart is out of beat, I got chokers on my feet My eyesight's getting dimmer, I can't see Doctor thanks for seeing me today, I'm glad, I've got every sickness there is to be had I had whooping cough last month And today I've got the mumps And tomorrow I'll catch chicken pox as well. Doctor doctor doctor make me well I've not got long to go now I can tell Doctor doctor doctor make me well I've not got long to go I can tell I've not got long to go I can tell Those pills I took have no effect at all Just the other day I had a nasty fall And I think I broke my jaw when it hit the kitchen floor And I'm shrinking last week I was five foot four I've been getting shivers lately, is it flu? I know the bug is going round, what can I do? It's about to pick on me, I've still got the other three Do you think I caught smallpox I'd get flu? Chorus Do you think it's time that I made out my will? I'll leave everything to you to pay my bill Just how long is there to go Please tell me I want to know But on second thoughts don't tell me, I'm too ill.

I've been away so long
Wonder where I went wrong Spent my last years in a cell Never ever go away again I've been so sad and lonely Never ever ever gonna go away again It's a waste of time doing time When you dind't commit a crime It wasn't me it was my brother Bill And I'd have to tell never gonna speak to Bill again He's made me sad and lonely Never ever gonna speak to brother Bill again It was no use, they put my brother on the jury He bribed the others 'cause he owns the local brewery They let me out today Brother Bill's gonna pay No one's ever gonna speak to Bill again Never ever gonna speak to Bill again He'll be too cold and bony Never ever gonna go away again Never ever gonna go away again Never ever gonna go away again More lyrics: http://www.lyricsmania.com/ive_been_away_lyrics_the_who.html All about The Who: http://www.musictory.com/music/The+Who 17. In the City
Come along
Into the city Where the girls are pretty And you can't go wrong Take your time No need to hurry Don't have to worry Cause it won't take long Well you can surf in the city You can swim in the pools Do anything you want Because there ain't no rules Drive your super-stock carbur to the long highway And you can drag. In the city in the falling right The kids are hip and they can dance all night In the city all the girls are pretty and they go... Come along Into the city Where the girls are pretty And you can't go wrong Well you can surf in the city You can swim in the pools Do anything you want Because there ain't no rules Drive your super-stock carbur to the long highway And you can drag. In the city in the falling right The kids are hip and they can dance all night In the city all the girls are pretty and they go... In the city, into the city... 20.
