Music: Lyric Sheets
Roger Daltrey, the former Who star, is appearing as Scrooge in a production of `A Christmas Carol' at New York's Theater at Madison Square Garden. A single, `God Bless Us Everyone' with The Harlem Boys Choir is released soon.
His eyes still blaze, a
cornflower blue
On Who Sell Out, the
cover.
And ponder on what stardom means
Sat in a bath of cold baked
beans
And lurking in the
wreckage then
Of Townshend's great
obsession
The drums smashed up, the p.a. dead
He swung his mike at
Moonie's head
The stubborn jaw and
hard-man glare
Would underpin the
toughness
From early adenoidal Mod
To buckskin, golden-
permed young god
He swaggered back with
rock and roll
From Goldhawk Road to
Narnia
Stuttering "My Generation"
In the sludge of Woodstock
Nation
While running mates from
other bands
Dropped back, collected
pensions
The centaur-chested Acton
yob
Got quietly on and did his
job
The acting roles and fish
farms came
But 31 years later.
You wonder if he'd fret
about
A headline reading: Who
Sell Trout.
