What Who Song are you?

The Seeker
"I've looked under chairs. I've looked under tables.I've tried to find the key to fifty million fables. They call me the seeker. I've been searching low and high. I won't get to get what I'm after till the day I die."
You are constantly seeking answers. You're a curious soul by nature.

2. Baba O'Reilly
Great choice.
"What song by The Who are you?" - Results:

Baba O'Riley
"Don't cry. Don't raise your eye. It's only teenage wasteland."
You're a classic. Everyone knows you and generally likes you. Although everyone knows you by a different name.

10. Me too. Kind of a bummer. I wanna be sedated.
Behind Blue Eyes

"No one knows what it's like to feel these feelings like I do and I blame you. No one bites back as hard on their anger. None of my pain and woe can show through"
You've probably been through hell. You come with a lot of baggage. Yet, you hide it all. Some can still see it in your eyes.

16. I hide it away like that so much.
"And I Hide It Away," I am that Richard Thompson song. "I break down on the street and I hide it away."

4. Magic Bus


"I don't care how much I pay. I wanna drive my bus to my baby each day"

You'll do anything to get to the one you love, even buy a bus.

:( How pathetic!

8. Anyway, Anyhow, Anywhere
Which figures, because the solo in the middle is my favorite.



"I can do anything, right or wrong. I can talk anyhow, and get along. Don't care anyway, I never lose. Anyway anyhow anywhere I choose"

You're on your own path, and it doesn't matter to you how you get what you want.

17. Whiskey Man

well not really the lyrics but I like the music...

Whiskey Man's my friend, he's with me nearly all the time
He always joins me when I drink, and we get on just fine

Nobody has ever seen him, I'm the only one
Seemingly I must be mad, Insanity is fun
If that's the way it's done

Doctors say he just a figment of my twisted mind
If they can't see my Whiskey Man they must be going blind

Two men dressed in white collected me two days ago
They said there's only room for one and Whiskey Man can't go

Whiskey Man will waste away if he's left on his own
I can't even ring him 'cause he isn't on the phone
Hasn't got a home

Life is very gloomy in my little padded cell
It's a shame there wasn't room for Whiskey Man as well

Whiskey Man's my friend, he's with me nearly all the time
He always joins me when I drink, and we get on just fine
Just fine

19. Baby Don't You Do It
"My biggest mistake was loving you too much and letting you know. Now you got me where you want me baby, now you're gonna let me go. Well I tried to do my best."

Your significant other is probably leaving you... or you are giving into your paranoia too much. If you said don't leave me with that song, I don't know what their problem really is.

Fittingly, this is probably my favorite Who song.

26. "The Sea Refuses No River" --
Edited on Tue Mar-01-05 12:51 AM by Old Crusoe
-- from Pete Townshend's wonderful album ALL THE BEST COWBOYS HAVE CHINESE EYES.

"The sea refuses no river
No pecking code respected for the damned..."

Jesus, the man can write lyrics like nobody's business.

-----
The Sea Refuses No River -- Pete Townshend

I remember being richer than a king
The minutes of the day were golden
I recall that when the joint passed around
My body felt a little colder
But now I'm like a sewer channel - running lime and scag
Let me get at the master panel - let me at my stack

The sea refuses no river
And right now this river's banks are blown
The sea refuses no river
Whether stinking and rank
Or red from the tank
Whether pure as a spring
There's no damn thing stops the poem
The sea refuses no river
And this river is homeward flowing

I have seen a trace of strain
In other's eyes, not spoken.
I must admit that I enjoyed their pain
But this time it's me that's broken
I demand for you and His
This must be the time
When we decide what freedom is
Turn water into wine

For the sea refuses no river
We're polluted now but in our hearts still clean
The sea refuses no river
We tried not to age
But time had its rage
We're washed over stones
From babes into clones of the mean
The sea won't refuse this muddy river
Nor deny this sulphurous stream

There was a fool in a dressing robe
Riding out the twilight hour
Lonely and cold in an empty home
Trying to assess his power
But now he's like a stream in flood
Swollen by the storm
He doesn't care if he sheds his blood
Let him be reborn

For the sea refuses no river
Remember that when a beggar buys a round
The sea refuses no river
And rain fills the gutters
No time for stutters
This is our chance
To sing and dance and to clown
The sea refuses no river
And rivers were sprung to drown

The sea refuses no river
No pecking code respected for the damned
The sea refuses no river
Whether starving and ill
Or strung on some pill
Just 'cos you own the land
There's no unique hand plugs the dam
The sea refuses no river
And the river is where I am

The river is where I am
