My life's in jeopardy
Murdered in cold blood is what I'm gonna be
I haven't been home since Friday night and now my wife
Is comin' after me
Give me police protection
Gonna buy a gun so I can look after number one
Give me a bodyguard
A black belt judo expert
With a machine gun
Gonna buy a tank and an airplane
When she catches up with me
Won't be no time to explain
She thinks I've been with another woman
And that's enough
To send her half-insane
Gonna buy a fast car, put on my lead boots, and take a long, long drive
I may end up spendin' all my money
But I'll still be alive
All I did was have a bit too much to drink
And I picked the wrong precinct
Got picked up by the law and now I ain't got time to think
Gonna buy a tank and an airplane
When she catches up with me
Won't be no time to explain
She thinks I've been with another woman
And that's enough
To send her half-insane
Gonna buy a fast car, put on my lead boots, and take a long, long drive
I may end up spendin' all my money
But I'll still be alive
And I'm oh, so tired of running
Gonna lay down on the floor
I gotta rest some time
So I can get to run some more
Yeah
She's comin'
She's comin'
She's comin'
She's comin'
She's comin'
She's comin'
She's comin'
She's comin
He played the horns on this one too. :O
It's straightforward and silly, about how his wife is gonna bitch to him about being gone for a while, and he thinks he has to hide from the monster.
hahaha such a funny song. john entwistle is great
i love the singing in it too. "i ain't been home since friday night and now my wife's coming after me"
Pretty easy to figure out. One of my Faves from The Who. It's pretty funny. I always thought the one lyric was "I gotta rest some more so I get to Baltimore."
hey wow no one has commented on a great song, and one of the only songs entwistle put on a Who LP, today is the day after he died
John Alec Entwistle
October 9th 1944 - June 27th 2002
My fav JE song. I love it!
It really is a good song, John did a good song singing and writing this one.
great song, john was the shit!
i love this fuckin' song......i don't have a wife, but i can totally picture this song happening to me.
One of Johns' great songs, along with Boris the spider, and Heaven and Hell
Great song, dark humor and tongue-in-cheek are John's specialties.
