the best line is at the end when he finds a woman who makes him feel like a real good looking boy, that's amazing writing, thank you Townshend and thank you Daltry for singing it to perfection.

"REAL GOOD LOOKING BOY is a song I wrote quite a few years ago about two young men who worry about their looks. One of them, based on me - hopes and believes he might look like his best friend who is a conventionally handsome fellow. (He is disavowed of this notion by his mother). The second, based on Roger - hopes and believes he will one day turn out to be like the young Elvis. (He, more happily, sees part of his dream come true). They both find love in later life." Pete Townshend
