Song of the Day - Behind Blue Eyes, The Who

My favorite The Who song - cures my maladies.

  1. About 2 weeks ago I had to stay in my car for a couple minutes before work to finish this very song. The kick-in at around 2:24 is as as good as The Who ever got. This one is in my top 50 easy, maybe top 25.

  2. No one knows what it's like

    To be the bad man

    To be the sad man

    Behind blue eyes



    No one knows what it's like

    To be hated

    To be fated

    To telling only lies



    But my dreams

    They aren't as empty

    As my conscience seems to be



    I have hours, only lonely

    My love is vengeance

    That's never free



    No one knows what it's like

    To feel these feelings

    Like I do

    And I blame you



    No one bites back as hard

    On their anger

    None of my pain and woe

    Can show through



    But my dreams

    They aren't as empty

    As my conscience seems to be



    I have hours, only lonely

    My love is vengeance

    That's never free



    When my fist clenches, crack it open

    Before I use it and lose my cool

    When I smile, tell me some bad news

    Before I laugh and act like a fool



    If I swallow anything evil

    Put your finger down my throat

    If I shiver, please give me a blanket

    Keep me warm, let me wear your coat


    No one knows what it's like

    To be the bad man

    To be the sad man

    Behind blue eyes
