Música da Semana #10

Olá, wholigans!
Como toda semana, eu venho aqui deixar uma música da semana para curtirem, baixarem ou tirar curiosidades sobre ela. A música de hoje se chama Substitute. Pete Townshend compôs essa canção mod para o disco My Generation, o primeiro do Who. É uma clara indignação por parte de Pete, em relação a impressa britânica, que acha que o The Who é a banda substituta dos Rolling Stones. Tirando essa raiva expressada, a canção fez sucesso absoluto na época. O grupo de punk rock, Ramones, regravou no disco Acid Rock, de 1994, contendo só covers de outras bandas. E agora fiquem com essa letra e o clipe gravado em 1965. Até a próxima postagem!

Substitute-- The Who

You think we look pretty good together
You think my shoes are made of leather

But I'm a substitute for another guy
I look pretty tall but my heels are high
The simple things you see are all complicated
I look pretty young, but I'm just back-dated

Substitute your lies for fact
I can see right through your plastic mac
I look all white, but my dad was black
My fine looking suit is really made out of sack

I was born with a plastic spoon in my mouth
The north side of my town faced east,
And the east was facing south
And now you dare to look me in the eye

Those crocodile tears are what you cry
It's a genuine problem, you won't try
To work it out at all
You just pass it by, pass it by

Substitute me for him
Substitute my coke for gin
Substitute you for my mum
At least I'll get my washing done.
