[ Buy Quadrophenia ]

Why should I care, why should I care?
Why should i care, why should i care?


Girls of fifteen
Girls of fifteen
Sexually knowing
Sexually knowing
The ushers are sniffing
The ushers are sniffing
Eau-de-cologning
Eau-de-cologning
The seats are seductive
The seats are seductive
Celibate sitting
Celibate sitting
Pretty girls digging
Pretty girls digging
Prettier women.
Prettier women.


Magically bored
Magically bored
On a quiet street corner
On a quiet street corner
Free frustration
Free frustration
In our minds and our toes
In our minds and our toes
Quiet stormwater
Quiet stormwater
M-m-my generation
M-m-my generation


Uppers and downers
Uppers and downers
Either way blood flows.
Either way blood flows.


Inside outside. Leave me alone.
Inside outside. leave me alone.
Inside outside. Nowhere is home.
Inside outside. nowhere is home.
Inside outside, Where have I been?
Inside outside, where have i been?
Out of my brain on the five fifteen.
Out of my brain on the five fifteen.


On a raft in the quarry
On a raft in the quarry
Slowly sinking.
Slowly sinking.
On the back of a lorry
On the back of a lorry
Holy hitching.
Holy hitching.
Dreadfully sorry
Dreadfully sorry
Apple scrumping.
Apple scrumping.
Born in the war
Born in the war
Birthday punching.
Birthday punching.


He man drag
He man drag
In the glittering ballroom
In the glittering ballroom
Gravely outrageous
Gravely outrageous
In my high heel shoes
In my high heel shoes
Tightly undone
Tightly undone
They know what they're showing
They know what they're showing
Sadly ecstatic
Sadly ecstatic
That their heroes are news.
That their heroes are news.


Why should I care?
Why should i care?
