Rough Boys - Pete Townshend

Thinking back to all the things I should've said When you were here, when you and I were friends And now, stuck here, I just have to pretend If you were here, you'd help me out again But I forgot you did no wrong Bottled my feelings for so long 'Cause I've been sleepin' on a couch for the entire year And I've been waiting on my friends to all disappear And I'm feeling kinda rough And I'm feeling kinda rough as fuck (As fuck) Sitting on my hands, I worry how I seem To you, do I seem stuck inside a dream? Inside a broken, hallowed-out machine I want to be something you'd pay to see But till then I'll stay at home I will never pick up the phone 'Cause I've been sleepin' on a couch for the entire year And I've been waiting on my friends to all disappear And I'm feeling kinda rough And I'm feeling kinda rough as fuck (As fuck) Oh, this mercury retrograde has got me down And these headaches make the world feel like it's upside down And I'm feeling kinda rough Feelin' kinda rough as fuck (As fuck) 'Cause I've been sleepin' on a couch for the entire year And I've been waiting on my friends to all disappear And I'm feeling kinda rough And I'm feeling kinda rough as fuck (As fuck) Oh, this mercury retrograde has got me down And these headaches make the world feel like it's upside down And I'm feeling kinda rough Feelin' kinda rough as fuck (As fuck)

She said I'll see you in the morning, darling I'll see you when the kids have gone to school Oh well, I know tomorrow is your birthday I know you know that you're are an April Fool We used to roam so freely It's been so long I take my dreams to bed, now Where they belong, long, long She said there's dust and cobwebs on your north star There's no more fussing the campfires in your hair I see your wheels, they're rustin' in the backyard I know that we're not going anywhere We used to roam so freely It's been so long I take my dreams to bed now Where they belong, long, long

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 faded, To telling only lies, But my dreams, they are as empty, As my conscience seems to be. I have hours, Only lonely, My love is vengence, 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 woes, Can shoot through. But my dreams, they are as empty, As my conscience seems to be. I have hours, Only lonely, My love is vengence, That's never free. When my fist clenches crack it open, Before i use it and lose my mind. If i smile tell me some bad news, Before i laugh and act like a fool. And if i swollow anything evil, Put your finger down my throat. And if i shiver won't you give me a blanket, Keep me warm and 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
