Sometimes it's the very simple, charming songs that just stick with you for a lifetime...
Blue, Red and Grey
Pete Townshend
Some people seem so obsessed with the morning,
get up early just to watch the sun rise.
Some people like it more when there's fire in the sky,
worship the sun when it's high.
Some people go for those sultry evenings,
sipping cocktails in the blue, red and grey --
But I like every minute of the day.
I like every second
so long as you are on my mind,
every moment has its special charm,
it's all right when you're around, rain or shine.
I know a crowd who only live after midnight,
their faces always seem so pale.
And then there's friends of mine who must have sunlight,
they say a suntan never fails.
I know a man who works the nightshift,
he's lucky to get a job and some pay --
And I like every minute of the day.
I dig every second,
I can laugh in the snow and rain,
I get a buzz from being cold and wet,
the pleasure seems to balance out the pain.
And so you see that I'm completely crazy,
I even shun the south of France.
The people on the hill, they say I'm lazy,
but when they sleep I sing and dance.
Some people have to have those sultry evenings,
cocktails in the blue, red and grey --
But I like every minute of the day.
(Also half-cheated: I needed a quick listen before I remembered all the lines again.)
Here's the song:
