Is It Me? (demo) Songtext
von Pete Townshend

I guess by now you′re feeling sorry for me
Well that's the way this story′s meant to be
Take a look around, you won't see much that's right
Your kid might be in the Boy Scouts, but he′s kicking queers at night

Tell me a single thing life teaches you
Tell me a single death that reaches you
You deny you′ve got a soul to preach to
Try and save him, I beseech you

I've done all I can, he never cut his hair
I washed my hands of the whole affair
Twenty years in jail seems a little harsh
But I bow to the law and the chosen path

Is it me for a moment?
The stars are falling
The heat is rising
The past is calling


Is it me for a moment?
The stars are falling
The heat is rising
The past is calling

I guess by now you′re feeling sorry for him
Well that's OK, ′cause they put him in the bin
Take a look around, take a walk out in the park
You can still see all the old ladies scared stiff of the dark

Tell me a single thing life teaches you
Tell me a single death that reaches you
You deny you've got a soul to preach to
Try and save him, I beseech you

Tell me a single thing life teaches you
Tell me a single death that reaches you
You deny you′ve got a soul to preach to
Try and save him, I beseech you
(The chosen path)
(I've done all I can)
(I've done all I can)


Tell me a single thing life teaches you
Tell me a single death that reaches you
You deny you′ve got a soul to preach to
Try and save him, I beseech you
(The chosen path)

Some nights I still sleep on the beach
Remember when stars were in reach
