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
