From Pete Townshend’s 1985 solo album “White City: A Novel.” Pete Townshend – vocals, guitar Steve Barnacle – bass Mark Brzezicki – drums John “Rabbit” Bundrick – keyboards
I love the lyrics about how pride can hurt relationships but why is the song called “Come to Mama”? "His pride is like a bandage/He is wrapped in a warm cocoon/His pride is like heroin/He is back inside the womb His pride is like an ocean/Encircled by a reef/His pride's a hypnotic potion/His memory is a leaf Her pride is like an armor/Flaming ring of fire/Her pride is like a blindness/An ever tightening wire Her pride is like a razor/A surgeon's purging knife/Her pride is like a censor/She's slashed out half her life"
Thanks for sharing, dude!!😮
