I Can't Reach You Lyrics
I'm a billion ages past you
A million years behind you too
A thousand miles up in the air
A trillion times I've seen you there
Your hair is golden, mine is grey
You walk on grass, it turns to hay
Your blood is blue and your eyes are red
My body strains, but the nerves are dead
I can't reach you
I've strained my eyes
I can't reach you
I've split my sides
I can't reach
Tryin' to get on you
See, feel or hear from you
The distances grow greater now
You drink champagne and past me plow
You fly your plane right over my head
You're still alive and I'm nearly dead
I can't reach you
With arms outstretched
I can't reach you
I crane my neck
I can't reach
Tryin' to get on you
See, feel or hear from you
Once I caught a glimpse
Of your unguarded, untouched heart
Our fingertips touched and then
My mind tore us apart
I can't reach you
With arms outstretched
I can't reach you
I crane my neck
I can't reach
Tryin' to get on you
See, feel or hear from you
I can't reach you
With arms outstretched
I can't reach you
I crane my neck
I can't reach
Tryin' to get on you
See, feel or hear from you
A million years behind you too
A thousand miles up in the air
A trillion times I've seen you there
You walk on grass, it turns to hay
Your blood is blue and your eyes are red
My body strains, but the nerves are dead
I've strained my eyes
I can't reach you
I've split my sides
I can't reach
Tryin' to get on you
See, feel or hear from you
You drink champagne and past me plow
You fly your plane right over my head
You're still alive and I'm nearly dead
With arms outstretched
I can't reach you
I crane my neck
I can't reach
Tryin' to get on you
See, feel or hear from you
Of your unguarded, untouched heart
Our fingertips touched and then
My mind tore us apart
With arms outstretched
I can't reach you
I crane my neck
I can't reach
Tryin' to get on you
See, feel or hear from you
With arms outstretched
I can't reach you
I crane my neck
I can't reach
Tryin' to get on you
See, feel or hear from you

Nice little song off of The Who Sell Out. I don't know what "pass me plough" means though...seems like a throw-away line.
@airforbes1 Yes that plow / plough line is a bit strange. Could be as in the phrase 'to plough ahead'

I believe it was Pete's infatuations with models that came across the band's path. He was bemoaning how, based on his schedule and (at the time) acid use, he felt "nearly dead" but couldn't do anything to get to know these high dollar models.
Beautiful! To me its about wanting someone you can't have.
Cool song. think its about a man who wants to communicate with his lover but doesn't know how.
