Pete Townshend Lyrics -"Rough Boys" Tough boys Running the streets Come a little closer Rough toys Under the sheets Nobody knows her Rough boys Don't walk away I very nearly missed you Tough boys Come over here I wanna bite and kiss you I wanna see what I can find Tough kids Take a bottle of wine When your deal is broken Ten quid She's so easy to find Not a word is spoken Rough boys Don't walk away I feel pretty blissed here Tough boy I'm gonna carry you home You got pretty pissed, dear Gonna get inside you Gonna get inside your bitter mind I wanna see what I can find Rough boys Don't walk away I wanna buy your leather Make noise Try and talk me away We can't be seen together Tough kids What can I do? I'm so pale and weak Rough fits In my Hush Puppy shoes But I'm still pleading Pleading, bleeding, fining, whining, shining I wanna see what I can find Tough boys Running the streets Come a little closer Rough toys Under the sheets Nobody knows her Rough boys Don't you walk away I very nearly missed you Tough boys Come over here I wanna bite and kiss you I wanna see what I can find

Really not concerned too much about what the lyrics may or may not mean. Absolutely masterful job of mixing the sound of this great tune! Takes me back to the early 80's ... when we had a wealth of great contemporary musicians. Pete Townsend is of course well known and legendary ... however, in many ways, he is still somehow vastly underrated and under the radar (especially solo).

Since Pete is known for his power chords, i tried to make this more of a 'rocker' and take advantage of his power strokes. The original recording was vastly undermixed.

Well, actually the background story is that the Who were the earliest punk-rockers, although at the time the music genre was called 'Mods' and 'Rockers' over the two types of English boys/young adults at the time. The Mods were more preppy, while the rockers where the daring, close to the edge type of rockers. This song was primarily dedicated to those 'rough boys.'

The Lyrics for all our songs are in the comments section as a pinned comment. If you're listening on a phone, YT won't display the comments, which kind of sux. Sorry for that.
