  • This song is originally from the British group The Who. "...Written by Pete Townshend of The Who for his Lifehouse project. It first appeared on The Who's 1971 Who's Next album, along with a number of other outtakes from the project... The lyrics are a first-person lament from a man in the Lifehouse story, variously identified as 'Brick' or 'Jumbo', who is always angry and full of angst because of all the pressure and temptation that surrounds him, and the song was intended to be his "theme song" had the project been successful. (The lyrics of the rocking section near the end were actually written by Townshend as a prayer when he was a disciple of Meher Baba after being tempted by a groupie, and incorporated into the song when it was written.)"

  • behind blue eyes was originally written by pete townshend, who(interesting choice of words) wrote 97percent of all the songs of his band, and in an autobiographical moment wrote of his point of view and how he felt looking at the world behind his blue eyes, but this is the tricky part he wrote alot of his songs for roger daltry to sing. i.e. tommy, this is the best information i have right now.
