pete townshend - uneasy street lyrics

on easy st. last night
the devil offered me a deal
he said, come on and take what you’d like,
and later tell me how you feel
so i looked up all around
on this uneasy street
i’d have been happy if i had found
something simple to eat
but just as he asked me maureen walked past
i said, mr. devil, she is so refined.
he said, i tricked you little brother
i tricked you little brother
that tricky little mother is mine.

i wish i was as good as i look
i wish i was that good
i wish i was as good as i look
wish i could be that good

it was too late for me
i’d just set eyes on my heart’s ideal
i was in ecstasy i was up and ready to steal
so i looked up all around on this uneasy street
i kept on looking until i found the prints of my beloved’s feet
i kept up the chase ’til i looked right in her face
i said, my darling you have angel’s eyes
she said to this little brother
you knew little brother
this is just his still mother’s disguise
i wish i was as good as i look
i wish i was that good
i wish i was as good as i look wish i could be that good

i just could not believe someone so beautiful could not be pure
i prayed for some reprieve i had to save her from the devil’s lure
but i guess the devil was bound to win
on this uneasy street
i had to know what was beneath her skin
i had to face up to the devil’s heat
but i didn’t have to ask
she just took off her mask
in a second it was clear to see
he said, i tricked you little brother
i tricked you little brother
this tricky little mother…is me.
is me
is me

i wish i was as good as i look i wish i was that good
i wish i was as good as i look wish i could be that good
i tricked you little brother.
yeah yeah
i tricked you little brother
