REQ==> ATHENA by The Who
Okidata
for ya'. I got 'em off the "It's Hard" album disk sleeve. Though I
typed exactly what's on the sleeve, I think Roger changed several lyrics
on the recording, so you might want to edit these a little bit.
(Example: Doesn't Roger sing, "You got me requsitioned, blondie" instead
of, "You were requisitioned, blondie" in the fourth verse?) I never
realized how many lyrics there were to this tune (and how silly some
of them are!) until I typed it in.
ATHENA (P.Townshend)
Athena, I had no idea how much I'd need her
In peaceful times I hold her close and I feed her
My heart starts palpitating when I think my guess was wrong
But I think I'll get along
She's just a girl - she's a bomb
Athena, all I ever want to do is please her
My life has been so settled and she's the reason
Just one word from her and my troubles are long gone
But I think I'll get along
She's just a girl - she's a bomb
Just a girl just a girl
Just a girl just a girl
Just a girl just a girl
She's just a girl
Athena, my heart felt like a shattered glass in an acid bath
I felt like one of those flattened ants you'd find on a crazy path
I'd of topped myself to give her time she didn't need to ask
Was I a suicidal psychopath?
She's just a girl - she's a bomb
Consumed, there was a beautiful white horse I was on a dream stage
He had a snake the size of a sewer pipe living in his rib cage
I felt like a pickled priest who was being flambed
You were requisitioned blondie
She's just a girl - she's a bomb
I'm happy, I'm ecstatic
Just a girl just a girl
Just a girl just a girl
Just a girl just a girl
She's just a girl
Look into the face of a child
Measure how long you smiled
Before the memory claimed
How long would children remain
How long would children remain
Athena, you picked me up by my lapels and screamed, "leave her"
It felt like waking up in heaven on an empty meter
And now you're stuck with a castrated leader
And I hate the creep, I didn't mean that
She's a bomb
I just said it
She's a bomb
I didn't mean it, please
She's a bomb
Athena, I had no idea how much I need her
My life has been so settled and she's the reason
Just one word from her and my troubles are long gone
But I get along
She's just a girl, she's a bomb
She's just a girl, she's a bomb
