Here's more interesting things in songs and lyrics tied to The Who or about the 1980s in general.
You talk about crazy affairs
You talk about your life as though it mattered
You get attention ‘cos you block the stairs
Bragging about some bottles you have shattered
Well I met a man who really lives
He really does it all
But what really matters is the heart he gives
He makes your talk seem small
When a man is a man
He doesn’t act to a plan
He don’t have to perform like John Wayne in some B feature flick
A man is a man
When he can offer his hand
Not afraid of appearing insane if he can’t break a brick
I know a man who’s a man
Can’t you sometimes crack a smile
Do you think if you did we would run and tell
I know one day your big villian style
Will collapse as they turn the key in the door of your cell
I know a man who was once like you
But he opened his heart
No one is really bad right through
He’s just another part
When a man is a man
And he drinks ’til he’s canned
He can drop to the floor, he can weep, we won’t ask the price
A man is a man
He can fall he can stand
We won’t love him more if he keeps his soul on the ice
I know a man who’s a man
Every one of us is looking for fame
He’s a looker
He’s a dresser
He’s a genius under pressure
I know a man who could tighten your rein
He’s a father
He’s a brother
He’s a rock
He’s a lover
He’s a man he’s a man
He doesn’t act to a plan
He don’t have to get hitched to a train in some muscle beach trick
A man is a man
When he can offer his hand
Not afraid of apprearing insane if he can’t break a brick
Be a man who’s a man
