The Power of The Who

For some reason, and I'm not sure why, but when I listen to The Who I get the same nervous, excited feeling as I did when I first met Katelyn. It's quite magical actually, it makes me feel like I'm meeting her for the first time all over again. To tell you the truth I love her even more every time I listen to The Who, especially the song "Real Good Looking Boy". I don't really know why, probably because I was obsessed with The Who at the end of senior year. Whatever the case may be, it is definitely an awesome feeling.



Real Good Looking Boy

When I think back to the first time in my childhood
When I saw that face I thought right then,
'That's a real good looking boy'

I saw myself in the mirror
in profile for the first time
I thought, 'Hey! That's a real good looking boy'

And I felt then
that I moved
With all those lucky fucks and angels
High in the theatre In the sky

So I ran to my mother
I said, 'Hey mom - take a look at me
Have you ever seen a teen fly so high?'

That's a real good looking boy
That's a real good looking boy

She said, 'Son, well you know, you're an ugly boy.
You don't really look like him

In this long line,
There's been some real strange genes
You've got 'em all
You've got 'em all
With some extras thrown in'

That's a real good looking boy
That's a real good looking boy
That's a real good looking boy
That's a real good looking boy

Wise men say
Only fools, only fools rush in
But I - I can't help
Falling in love
In love with you

Now I'm here with you little darling
And you say, 'You're as beautiful as you are'
And I've managed somehow to survive

You arrived in my life like a fragrance
You helped me find a way to laugh
Now I know a so-called beauty lies

God gave him a face
Then he gave me something above
God gave me a grace
Then he gave me your sweet, sweet, sweet love

You make me feel I'm a real good looking boy
I feel I'm a real good looking boy
That's a real good looking boy
That's a real good looking boy
