[00:00.00]Slit Skirts (Album Version) - Pete Townshend
[00:04.59]Written by：Pete Townsh
[00:09.18]I was just thirty four years old
[00:11.79]And I was still wandering in a haze
[00:16.39]I was wondering why everyone I met seemed like they were
[00:20.19]Lost in a maze
[00:24.30]I don't know why I thought I should have some kind of
[00:27.62]Divine right to the blues
[00:31.27]It's sympathy not tears people need when they're the
[00:34.89]Front page sad news
[00:38.78]The incense burned away
[00:42.13]And the stench began to rise
[00:46.03]And lovers now estranged
[00:48.94]Avoided catching each others' eyes
[00:53.34]And girls who lost their children
[00:55.86]Cursed the men who fit the coil
[00:58.44]And men not fit for marriage
[01:00.91]Took their refuge in the oil
[01:03.73]No one respects the flame
[01:06.22]Quite like the fool who's badly burned
[01:09.33]From all this you'd imagine
[01:11.42]That there must be something learned
[01:17.01]Slit skirts
[01:19.02]Jeanie never wears those slit skirts
[01:22.47]I don't ever wear no ripped shirts
[01:26.09]Can't pretend that growing older never hurts
[01:31.81]Knee pants
[01:33.05]Jeanie never wears no knee pants
[01:36.65]Have to be so drunk to try a new dance
[01:40.61]So afraid of every new romance
[01:45.93]Slit skirts slit skirt
[01:47.80]Jeanie isn't wearing those slit skirts slit skirt
[01:51.46]She wouldn't dare in those slit skirts slit skirt
[01:54.97]Wouldn't be seen dead in no slit skirt
[02:00.11]Romance romance why aren't we thinking up romance
[02:05.75]Why can't we drink it up true heart romance
[02:09.28]Just need a brief new romance
[02:14.35]Let me tell you some more about myself
[02:17.62]You know I'm sitting at home just now
[02:21.81]The big events of the day I passed
[02:23.97]On the late tv shows have come around
[02:29.10]I'm number one in the home team
[02:32.22]But I still feel unfulfilled
[02:36.26]A silent voice in a broken heart complaining
[02:39.75]That I'm unskilled
[02:43.33]And I know that when she thinks of me
[02:47.40]She thinks of me as him
[02:50.40]But unlike me she don't work off her frustration in the gym
[02:58.03]Recriminations fester
[03:00.31]And the past can never change
[03:03.15]A woman's expectations run from both ends of the range
[03:08.48]Once she walked with untamed lovers' face between her legs
[03:13.67]Now he's cooled and stifled
[03:16.01]And it's she who has to beg
[03:21.38]Slit skirts
[03:23.19]Jeanie never wears those slit skirts
[03:26.67]And I don't ever wear no ripped shirts
[03:30.21]Can't pretend that growing older never hurts
[03:35.29]Knee pants
[03:37.10]Jeanie never wears no knee pants
[03:40.63]We have to be so drunk to try a new dance
[03:44.53]So afraid of every new romance
[03:49.89]Slit skirts slit skirt
[03:51.55]Jeanie isn't wearing those slit skirts slit skirt
[03:55.17]She wouldn't dare in those slit skirts slit skirt
[03:58.83]Wouldn't be seen dead in no slit skirt
[04:03.93]Slit skirts slit skirt
[04:05.69]Jeanie isn't wearing those slit skirts slit skirt
[04:09.27]She wouldn't dare in those slit skirts slit skirt
[04:12.75]Wouldn't be seen dead in no slit skirt
[04:17.88]Romance romance
[04:19.85]Why aren't we thinking up romance
[04:23.36]Why can't we drink it up true heart romance
[04:27.01]Just need a brief new romance
