about

Jake and The Nowhere Men tackle The Who. Songs in order are 5:15, Go to the Mirror, The Punk and The Godfather, I Can See For Miles, Christmas, and A Quick One While He's Away. It was by far the most difficult recording and drumming killed me. The Who are one of the best bands ever so this is my tribute.

lyrics

Why should I care?
Why should I care?

I often wonder what he is thinking
Has he ever heard a word I've said?
Look at him now in the mirror dreaming
What is happening in his head?

Listening to you I get the music.
Gazing at you I get the heat
Following you I climb the mountain
I get excitement at your feet!

What is happening in his head
Ohhh I wish I knew, I wish I knew

Well, here's a poke at you
You're gonna choke on it too
You're gonna lose that smile
Beacuse all the while

I can see for miles and miles
I can see for miles and miles
I can see for miles and miles and miles and miles and miles

Tommy, can you hear me? x5
How can he be saved?
Surrounded by his friends he sits so silently,
And unaware of everything.
Playing poxy pin ball, picks his nose and smiles and
Pokes his tongue at everything.
I believe in love, but how can men who've never seen
Light be enlightened.
Only if he's cured, will his spirits future level
Ever heighten.

And Tommy doesn't know what day it is.
Doesn't know who Jesus was or what praying is.
How can he be saved?
From the eternal grave.

You are forgiven (a lot)
