Quadrophenia - 515 Lyrics

Why should I care?

Girls of fifteen

Sexually knowing

The ushers are sniffing

Eu-de-cologning

The seats are seductive

Celibate sitting

Pretty girls digging

Prettier women.





Magically bored

On a quiet street corner

Free frustration

In our minds and our toes

Quiet stormwater

My generation





Uppers and downers

Either way blood flows.





Inside outside. Leave me alone.

Inside outside. Nowhere is home.

Inside outside, Where have I been?

Out of my brain on the five fifteen.





On a raft in the quarry

Slowly sinking.

On the back of a lorry

Holy hitching.

Dreadfully sorry

Apple scrumping.

Born in the war

Birthday punching.





He man drag

In the glittering ballroom

Greyly outrageous

In my high heel shoes

Tightly undone

They know what they're showing

Sadly ecstatic

That their heros are news.





Why should I care?
