Pete Townshend's Classic Quadrophenia
Bell Boy
A beach is a place where a man can feel
He's the only soul in the world that's real
But I see a face coming through the haze
I remember him from those crazy days
Crazy days, crazy days
Ain't you the guy who used to set the paces
Riding up in front of a thousand Faces?
I don't suppose you would remember me
But I used to follow you back in '63
I've got a good job, and I'm newly born
You should see me dressed up in my uniform
I work in hotel, all gilt, and flash
Remember the gaff, where the doors we smashed?
(Bell boy!) I gotta get running now
(Bell boy!) Keep my lip buttoned down
(Bell boy!) Carry this baggage out
(Bell boy!) Always running
At someone's bleeding heel
You know how I feel
Always running at someone's heel
Some nights, I still sleep on the beach
Remember when stars were in reach
I wander in early to work
Spend my day licking boots for my perks
A beach is a place where a man can feel
He's the only soul in the world that's real
But I see a face coming through the haze
I remember him from those crazy days
(Crazy days, crazy days)
(Crazy days, crazy days)
Ain't you the guy who used to set the paces
Riding up in front of a hundred Faces?
I don't suppose you would remember me
But I used to follow you back in '63
People often change, but when I look in your eyes
You could learn a lot from a life like mine
The secret to me, it ain't flown like a flag
I carry it behind this bleeding little badge, what says
(Bell boy!) I've got a get running now
(Bell boy!) Keep the lip buttoned down
(Bell boy!) Carry the bloody baggage out
(Bell Boy!) Always running at someone's heel
You know how I feel
Always running at someone's heel
He's the only soul in the world that's real
But I see a face coming through the haze
I remember him from those crazy days
Crazy days, crazy days
Ain't you the guy who used to set the paces
Riding up in front of a thousand Faces?
I don't suppose you would remember me
But I used to follow you back in '63
I've got a good job, and I'm newly born
You should see me dressed up in my uniform
I work in hotel, all gilt, and flash
Remember the gaff, where the doors we smashed?
(Bell boy!) I gotta get running now
(Bell boy!) Keep my lip buttoned down
(Bell boy!) Carry this baggage out
(Bell boy!) Always running
At someone's bleeding heel
You know how I feel
Always running at someone's heel
Some nights, I still sleep on the beach
Remember when stars were in reach
I wander in early to work
Spend my day licking boots for my perks
A beach is a place where a man can feel
He's the only soul in the world that's real
But I see a face coming through the haze
I remember him from those crazy days
(Crazy days, crazy days)
(Crazy days, crazy days)
Ain't you the guy who used to set the paces
Riding up in front of a hundred Faces?
I don't suppose you would remember me
But I used to follow you back in '63
People often change, but when I look in your eyes
You could learn a lot from a life like mine
The secret to me, it ain't flown like a flag
I carry it behind this bleeding little badge, what says
(Bell boy!) I've got a get running now
(Bell boy!) Keep the lip buttoned down
(Bell boy!) Carry the bloody baggage out
(Bell Boy!) Always running at someone's heel
You know how I feel
Always running at someone's heel
