Mostly Harmless

I used to wake up in the morning
I used to feel so bad
I got so sick of having sleepless nights
I went and told my dad
He said, "Son now here's some little something"
And stuck them on my wall
And now my nights ain't quite so lonely
In fact I, I don't feel bad at all
Pictures of Lily made my life so wonderful
Pictures of Lily helped me sleep at night
Pitcures of Lily solved my childhood problems
Pictures of Lily helped me feel alright
Pictures of LilyLily, oh LilyLily, oh LilyPictures of Lily
And then one day things weren't quite so fine
I fell in love with Lily
I asked my dad where Lily I could find
He said, "Son, now don't be silly"
"She's been dead since 1929"
Oh, how I cried that night
If only I'd been born in Lily's time
It would have been alright
Pictures of Lily made my life so wonderful
Pictures of Lily helped me sleep at night
For me and Lily are together in my dreams
And I ask you, "Hey mister, have you ever seen"
"Pictures of Lily?"

These are the lyrics of the song "Pictures of lily" by "The Who". Supposedly this song was their tribute to masturbation or so wilkipedia tells me. Now why would someone like to write a song on a topic such as this. But anyway dont let that piss you off. Of course I'm aware of the fact that this would provoke more people than it would put off. In case you havent already listened to them, go for it. Listen to them for Peter Townsend's twisted guitar style, for Keith Moon's unconventional drumming which is all over the place at times and yet constrained enough, listen to them for their music which might sound familiar, yet is unique in its own rights. You might like to start with the following songs-

• baba o reilly(personal favourite)
• pinball wizard
• substitute
• who are you
• going mobile
• squeeze box
• boris the spider

Of course I take it that you'll listen to the pictures of lily anyway.
