Somebody Saved Me
The Who

I stood at the door beside her
But she wouldn't let me pass
I was such a bore and I lied to her
I said I didn't really want her ass

I went away in the mud and rain
The gang became snide and laughed
I was slayed but I smiled
And the pain began to subside at last

And when I got back to my hotel
I wondered if the thunder meant I'd landed in Hell
And on the forecourt, slipped and fell
I cracked my stupid head and I heard a bell
I thought, hey, hey hey

Somebody saved me, it happened again
Somebody save me, I thank you my friend
Somebody save me from a fate worse than Heaven
'Cos if I had her for just an hour
I don't want her forever, somebody saved me

You would have thought that I'd learned
Twenty years ago or more
A beautiful girl raised her mouth and yearned
But I didn't know what lips were for

I ran away in the mud and rain
The weather here's never too bright
She had an affray with her man and came
For solace and the means to fight

She finally bored with seducing me
I took up with some geezer from the Ealing scene
It nearly killed him like it would've killed me
When her original man snapped his fingers
And she obeyed, she obeyed

Somebody saved me, it happened again
Somebody save me, I thank you my friend
Somebody save me from a fate worse than heaven
'Cos if I had her for just an hour
I don't want her forever, somebody save me, yeah
Somebody saved me

I don't know about guardian angels
All I know about staying alive
I can't shout about spiritual labels
When little ones die and big ones thrive

All I know is that I've been making it
There've been times I didn't deserve to
Every show there's been more faking it
But right at the point of no return

Somebody saved me and it happened again
Somebody save me and I thank you my friend
Somebody save me from a fate worse than heaven
'Cos if I blew it for a single moment
I'd blow it forever but somebody saves me

I took up the connection once
Made me feel quite aloof
I never could queue to collect my lunch
While I was pursuing the truth

I left my folks in the mud and rain
It always rain in Sunnyside Road
I lived hippy joke, get stoned insane
Till the rain looked just like snow

But there was a soul in whom I could depend
He worked himself crazy while I laid in bed
I never leaned on a person like I leaned right then
And when I finally woke up clean
My friend was dead, stone dead

But somebody saved me, it happened again
Somebody save me, I thank you my friend
Somebody save me, I ain't ready for Heaven
'Cos If I'd seen you for a second
I don't want to see you forever
But somebody saved me

Somebody saved me
Somebody saved me
