Pete Townshend - Stop Hurting People Lyrics
A love born once must soon be born againA spark that burned, then died, leaving cinders to be fannedBy the wind and thrown to flame;Flames like tongues impassioned in a moments burst.Tell me friend - why do you stand aloof from your own heart?The truth confronts you - the truth confronts you as the seaCrushing without detail,Impassioned and detached,Killing with love and power in God's Name.Love conquers poses. Love smashes stances. Love crushes anglesInto black. So you, without question, know your first loveIs your last. And you, will never - never - Love againI always wished to walk with her into resteraunts, (A clammy tale).To be seen beside her at the public bar footrail.I always wanted to be matched with her -Yet her beauty was so different to mine.My "beauty" needs an understanding, a knowledge of what I am.Hers is enough. Earned through eons; for that is what true beauty is -Time's gift to perfect humility.May I be matched with you againI know the match is badBut God help me -May I be matched with you again- without your match there is no flame
