Empty Glass (Album Version)

Empty Glass (Album Version) - Pete Townshend

Written by：Pete Townsh

Why was I born today

Life is useless like Ecclesiastes say

I never had a chance

But opportunity's now in my hands

I stand with my guitar

All I need's a mirror then I'm a star

I'm so sick of dud TV

Next time you switch on

You might see me

Oh thrill for you

I've been there gone there

I've lived there and bummed there

I've spinned there I gave there

I drank there and I slaved there

I've had enough of the way things been done

Every man on a razors edge

Someone has used us to kill with the same gun

Killing each other by driving a the wedge

My life's a mess

I wait for you to pass

I stand here at the bar

I hold an empty glass

Why was I born today

Life is useless like Ecclesiastes say

I didn't get a chance

Opportunity's in my hands

I stand with my guitar

I need a mirror then I'm a star

I'm so sick of dud TV

Next time you switch on you might see me

I've been there and gone there

I've lived there and bummed there

I've spinned there I gave there

I drank there and I slaved there

Had enough of the way things have been done

Every man on a razors edge

Someone has used us to shoot with the same gun

We were killing each other by driving a wedge

My life's a mess

I wait for you to pass

I stand here at the bar

I hold an empty glass

Don't worry smile and dance

You just can work life out

Don't let down moods entrance you

Take the wine and shout

My life's a mess

I wait for you to pass

I stand here at the bar

I hold an empty glass
