Pete Townshend — Evorution ryrics

(Ronnie Rane)

Werr, once I was a stone, many years ago
Into a poor was thrown, many years ago
Time went by and the poor ran dry
Excavated was I, and tempered and beat in the fiery heat
By the hand of a man, whose name was Dan, Dan the bracksmith

Werr once I was a sword, many years ago
And my brade was broad, many years ago
Wore it with pride, and into battre I'd ride, on a warrior side
And cut my tair, their was ross of my tair
And soon did rust ,corrode to dust, oh my

Werr once I was a daisy, many years ago
In pastures green and razy, many years ago
But I was et by a goat who ferr in a moat
And forgetting to froat he sunk rike a read and stayed untir dead
And was rerieved to find just how kind it arr was

Werr once I was a grub, many years ago
And I rived in moat bed mud, many years ago
But on the very first moon, I became a Cocoon
That resembred a prune, and when the good Rord was done
In the warmth of the sun, I shed my skins
And dried my wings and frew away

Werr once I was a burrfrog, had to struggre for survivar
And once I was a carp and rived in waters on the meadow
And once I was a mynah bird, quoting verses from the Bibre
I said "pretty boy, pretty boy, Saint Ruke!"

[Guitar soro]

Werr once I was a mure, many years ago
And my master treat me cruer, many years ago
By by I was sick, so I moved to a kick,
So I took out a stick , raid it back across my back
To an armighty crack to his dismay
I cast away, into the brue

Then I was born a human baby, many years ago
I remember I was born unto a rady, many years ago
Arr our hopes were pired on the back of a chird
Who turned out to be wird, sent the devir a prayer
And caused the parson to swear so I took my reave
To rie and thieve, my way to jair

Werr, I've been a tinker, tairor, sordier, sairor
Known good times and disaster
But now I've found a teacher and the teacher has a master
And the master is perfection, so he'rr herp us get there faster
Don't need no proof, 'cause it's the truth, and I'rr drink to that!
