Tea and Theatre--the who

I am a big who fan--always have been..this song is a thrice-posted tale but I have never heard a song that cuts closer to the core of what it is like to grow older and to reflect on your life and art. This to me is why art is as important as any other field, becuse there aint too many doctors or lawyers gonna help you experience an emotion like this or move you with a piece of art--then again they may save your life or keep you out of jail which is actually more important than art but this song still kicks ass and chokes me up. Music can do a lot of things that words and painting cant. Sorry for the commercial before the vid. I wont buy either of the obnoxious products,  hate advertising.

tea and theatre--the who

Will you have some tea
At the theatre with me?
We did it all
Didn't we?
Jumped every wall
Instinctively
Unravelled codes
Ingeniously
Wired all the roads
So seamlessly
We made it work
But one of us failed
That makes it so sad
A great dream derailed
One of us - gone
One of us - mad
One of us - me
All of us sad
All of us sad
Lean on my shoulder now
This story is done
It's getting colder now
A thousand songs

Still smoulder now
We play them as one
We're older now
All of us sad
All of us free
Before we walk from this stage
Two of us
Will you have some tea
Will you have some tea
At the theatre with me
