[00:00:00] Slit Skirts - Pete Townshend

[00:00:01] Written By：Pete Townshend

[00:00:09] I was just thirty four years old

[00:00:12] And I was still wandering in a haze

[00:00:16] I was wondering why everyone

[00:00:17] I met seemed like they were

[00:00:20] Lost in a maze

[00:00:24] I don't know why I thought

[00:00:25] I should have some kind of

[00:00:27] Divine right to the blues

[00:00:31] It's sympathy not tears people need

[00:00:34] When they're the front page sad news

[00:00:38] The incense burned away

[00:00:42] And the stench began to rise

[00:00:45] And lovers now estranged avoided catching each others' eyes

[00:00:53] And girls who lost their children cursed the men

[00:00:56] Who fit the coil

[00:00:58] And men not fit for marriage took their refuge in the oil

[00:01:04] No one respects the flame quite like the fool

[00:01:07] Who's badly burned

[00:01:09] From all this you'd imagine that there must be

[00:01:12] Something learned

[00:01:17] Slit skirts

[00:01:19] Jeanie never wears those slit skirts

[00:01:22] I don't ever wear no ripped shirts

[00:01:26] Can't pretend that growing older never hurts

[00:01:31] Knee pants

[00:01:33] Jeanie never wears no knee pants

[00:01:37] Have to be so drunk to try a new dance

[00:01:40] So afraid of every new romance

[00:01:45] Slit skirts slit skirt

[00:01:47] Jeanie isn't wearing those slit skirts slit skirt

[00:01:51] She wouldn't dare in those slit skirts slit skirt

[00:01:55] Wouldn't be seen dead in no slit skirt

[00:02:00] Romance romance why aren't we thinking up romance

[00:02:05] Why can't we drink it up true heart romance

[00:02:09] Just need a brief new romance

[00:02:14] Let me tell you some more about myself

[00:02:17] You know I'm sitting at home just now

[00:02:22] The big events of the day are passed and the late

[00:02:25] TV shows have come around

[00:02:29] I'm number one in the home team

[00:02:32] But I still feel unfulfilled

[00:02:36] A silent voice in her broken heart complaining that

[00:02:40] I'm unskilled

[00:02:43] And I know that when she thinks of me

[00:02:47] She thinks of me as him

[00:02:50] But unlike me she don't work off her frustration in the gym

[00:02:57] Recriminations fester and the past can never change

[00:03:03] A woman's expectations run from both ends of the range

[00:03:08] Once she walked with untamed lovers' face between her legs

[00:03:13] Now he's cooled and stifled and it's she who has to beg

[00:03:21] Slit skirts

[00:03:23] Jeanie never wears those slit skirts

[00:03:26] And I don't ever wear no ripped shirts

[00:03:30] Can't pretend that growing older never hurts

[00:03:35] Knee pants

[00:03:37] Jeanie never wears no knee pants

[00:03:40] We have to be so drunk to try a new dance

[00:03:44] So afraid of every new romance

[00:03:49] Slit skirts slit skirt

[00:03:51] Jeanie isn't wearing those slit skirts slit skirt

[00:03:55] She wouldn't dare in those slit skirts slit skirt

[00:03:58] Wouldn't be seen dead in no slit skirt

[00:04:03] Romance romance why aren't we thinking up romance

[00:04:09] Why can't we drink it up true heart romance

[00:04:13] Just need a brief new romance

[00:04:31] Romance romance why aren't we thinking up romance

[00:04:37] Why can't we drink it up true heart romance

[00:04:41] Just need a brief new romance
