I'm One Lyrics

Artist: Pete Townshend
Album: Pete Townshend's Deep End Live!

Every year is the same
I feel it again.
I'm a loser, no chance to win.
Leaves start falling,
Come down is calling
Loneliness starts sinking in.

But I'm one
I am one.
And I can see
That this is me
I will be,
You'll all see, I'm the one.

Where do you get
Those blue, blue jeans,
Faded, patched, secret so tight?
Where do you get,
That walk oh, so lean?
Your shoes and your shirt always right
But I'm one, I'm one
And I can see
That this is me
I will be,
You'll all see, I'm the one.

I got a Gibson
Without a case
But I can't get that even-tanned look on my face.
Ill-fitting clothes
And I blend in the crowd
Fingers so clumsy,
Voice too loud.
But I'm one, I'm one
I can see
That this is me
And I will be,
You'll all see, I'm the one.
I'm the one
I'm the one

This is a great song. This is where Mr Townshend defines the character of Quadrophenia, Jimmy. It is a central song that gives the story more depth.
He also gives the listener a direct connection between the writer and his creation. I'm One is a great acoustic guitar song which Mr Townshend has recreated in his solo concert appearances.
