The Who - Don't Let Go The Coat

(Pete Townshend) I can't be held responsible for blown behaviour I lost all contact with my only saviour No-one locked me out because I failed to phone up I can't bear to live forever like a loner Don't let go the coat It's easy to be sad: when you lack a partner But how would I react to a broken heart now It ain't Hanging onto you and when I hold it next time I won't let go the coat I try to explain but you never understand it I need your body but I can't just demand it I won't let go like a stray at heel (Never let it out of your sight) Every lonely wife knows the way I feel (Don't let go tonight) Don't let go the coat Never let go the coat Your friends all pass for life is just a market But you have to finish everything you started So I live my life tearing down the runway Sure to get the hang of hanging in there someday Don't let go the coat Won't get no more chances - forget the war dances Go blind and hang on - don't try the slang son Never let go the coat.
