Pure and Easy Songtext

von The Who

Pure and easy
Album: Odds & Sods

There once was a note, pure and easy
Playing so free, like a breathe rippling by
The note is eternal, I hear it, it sees me
Forever we blend as forever we die

I listened and I heard, music in a word
And words when you played your guitar
The noise that I was hearing was a million people cheering
And a child flew past me, riding in a star
As people assemble, civilization
Is trying to find a new way to die
But killing is really, merely scene changer
All men are bored, with other men's lives

I listened and I heard, etc.

Gas on the hillside, oil in the tea cup,
Watch all the chords of life lose their joy
Distortion becomes somehow pure in its wildness
The note that began all, can also destroy

We all know success, when we all find our own dreams
And our love is enough to knock down any walls
And the future's been seen, as men try to realize
The simple secret of the note in us all
There once was a note,...listen
