pete townshend - evolution lyrics
well, once i was a stone, many years ago
into a pool was thrown, many years ago
time went by and the pool ran dry
excavated was i, and tempered and beat in the fiery heat
by the hand of a man, whose name was dan, dan the blacksmith
well once i was a sword, many years ago
and my blade was broad, many years ago
wore it with pride, and into battle i’d ride, on a warrior side
and cut my tail, their was loss of my tailand soon did rust, corrode to dust, oh my
well once i was a daisy, many years ago
in pastures green and lazy, many years ago
but i was et by a goat who fell in a moat
and forgetting to float he sunk like a lead and stayed until dead
and was relieved to find just how kind it all was
well once i was a grub, many years ago
and i lived among that mud, many years ago
but i’m a reckless mood, and i gave it a coo
that was it with a prune, and when the good lord was done
i walked with the sun, i shed my skins
and tried my wings and flew away
well, once i was a bullfrog, had to struggle for survival
and once i was a carp and lived in waters on the meadow
and once i was a mynah bird, quoting verses from the bible
i said pretty boy, pretty boy, saint luke(guitar solo)well once i was a mule, many years agoand my master treat me cruel, many years ago
by by was sick, so i moved to a kick, so i took out a stick, laid it back across my back
to an almighty crack to my dismay
i cast away into the blue
then i was born a human baby, many years ago
i remember i was born unto a lady, many years ago
all our hopes were piled on the back of a child
who turned out to be wild, sent the devil a prayer
caused the parson to swear so i took my leave
to lie and thieve, on my way to jail
well, i’ve been a tinker, tailor, soldier, sailor
known good times and disaster
but now i have a teacher and my teacher has a master
and the master is perfection, so he’ll help us get there faster
don’t need no proof, ’cause that’s the truth, and i’ll drink to that!
