Letra de
Behind Blue Eyes

Behind Blue Eyes é uma música do The Who, composta por Pete Townshend. Foi inspirada pela sensação de inveja e raiva de Townshend ao ver um homem seduzir uma garota que ele gostava em um show do grupo. A música faz parte do projeto Lifehouse, um álbum de rock ópera planejado que acabou se tornando o álbum Whos Next de 1971.

No one knows what it's like
to be the bad man
to be the sad man
behind blue eyes
No one knows what it's like
to be hated
to be fated
to telling only lies

But my dreams
they aren't as empty
as my conscience seems to be
I have hours, only lonely
my love is vengeance
that's never free

No one knows what it's like
to feel these feelings
like I do
and I blame you
No one bites back as hard
on their anger
none of my pain and woe
can show through

But my dreams
they aren't as empty
as my conscience seems to be
I have hours, only lonely
my love is vengeance
that's never free

When my fist clenches, crack it open
Before I use it and lose my cool
When I smile, tell me some bad news
Before I laugh and act like a fool
And if I swallow anything evil
Put your finger down my throat
And if I shiver, please give me a blanket
Keep me warm, let me wear your coat


No one knows what it's like
to be the bad man
to be the sad man
behind blue eyes
