Song title: Pete Townshend - Uneasy Street

Edit By: 216.73.216.52

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
