Pete Townshend - Don't Let Go The Coat Lyrics






I can't be held responsible for my behavior
I lost all contact with my only savior
Please don't lock me out because I missed to phone ya
I can't bear to live forever like a loner

Don't let go of the coat
Don't let go of the coat
Don't let go of the coat
Don't let go of the coat

I seen you on a Tuesday morning
Everyone but me seems still to be yawning
I can write a letter and I'm gonna to ya
Am I gone blind thinking about you lot

Don't let go of the coat
Don't let go of the coat
Don't let go of the coat
Don't let go of the coat

I try to explain but you never understand it
I need your body but I can't just demand it

Don't let go of the coat
Don't let go of the coat
Don't let go of the coat
Don't let go of the coat

I can't be held responsible for my behavior
I lost all contact with my only savior
Please don't lock me out because I missed to phone ya
I can't bear to live forever like a loner

Don't let go of the coat
Don't let go of the coat
Don't let go of the coat
Don't let go of the coat

Keep singing
Don't let go of the coat
Keep telling myself now
Don't let go of the coat
That's why I'm singing now
Don't let go of the coat
Ooh, Don't let go of the coat

Admitting to myself
Don't let go of the coat
Quit felling bad for myself
Don't let go of the coat
Just gotta look after myself
Don't let go of the coat
Oh, Don't let go of the coat
Don't let go of the coat
Don't let go of the coat
Don't let go of the coat
Don't let go of the coat

Pete Townshend Don't Let Go The Coat Comments
  1. T.... D....

    Entwistle hated this song

  2. M.... S....

    The Who originally hated the "Face Dances" album, but in an interview a few years ago, Roger Daltrey said he liked the record and felt it was the band's most underrated album. The outtakes like "I Like Nightmares" and "It's In You" are album quality as well. The sense I get is that the album they really have issues with is "It's Hard." Although it has some good songs, t just has too much filler. I know after it was mixed Roger was so against it that he just wanted to shelve it and tour.

  3. S.... B....

    This feels like a Warren Zevon song somehow.

  4. N.... ....

    the old kenny jones v moon debate will rage on but i will say this! i detested kenny because he said i know nothing about the whos songs, which wud have pissed off many young who fans loyal to keith. for me keith was the only one who mattered. as for townshend you clearly see how uch of an influence was lambert both tommy and quadrphenia were defo lamberts genius

  5. t.... a....

    PUNK-POP

  6. M.... R....

    great tune. Such a cool vibe.

  7. M.... ....

    Pete never looks better than when he's a Rickenbacker in his hand!

  8. M.... P....

    Pete Townshend belongs to the best Songwriters in Pop History.

  9. D.... M....

    It's so nice to see(and hear) that 12-string Rickenbacker...

  10. p.... s....

    mi análisis profundo es que este álbum es la verga

  11. M.... Z....

    I loved this album. but I think that this band was still smarting from the loss of Kieth. Pete Townsend didn't love this album. I love it though!

  12. A.... P....

    such a catchy song....and i love the keyboard in the background, playing off the bass

  13. M.... H....

    I love the opening 15-20 seconds and that little synth part.

  14. M.... M....

    Great song! Another version: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wz_IigmOz_A

  15. d.... t....

    Man i like this one.

  16. s.... ....

    To all who question Kenny’s drumming ability, you should seek out the Small Faces first album from 1966. There are times it sounds like Kieth is playing on it. Very similar style in the early years. Kenny was a very capable drummer who could play wild as Moon when needed.

  17. J.... F....

    Don't let go the music

    Rock and roll forever

  18. e.... b....

    dont let go nicole

  19. l.... s....

    My favorite band of whole time! Saw then in denver 1981 on this album came out! The Who!

  20. j.... a....

    I'd say it sounds like an inspiration for the English Beat and Save it for later. anyone hear it?

  21. M.... J....

    Not the who without Keith Moon 👎

    M.... J....

    🤣🤣🤣

  22. M.... Z....

    this was a few years after Keith passed. We were all wondering what this album would be. Not my favorite, but definitely a great album..

  23. A.... S....

    The thest of eighties!

  24. C.... L....

    Love the Spanish guitar sounding solo in this 🥰

  25. I.... H....

    Absolutely ace!

  26. J.... M....

    Rock 'n' Roll scarf... Got's to get me one!

  27. N.... ....

    What a great song!

  28. K.... R....

    Don't let go!

  29. R.... G....

    Bloody hell....who WASN'T playing a Ricky in the day....

  30. J.... Y....

    I'm heading out now it was my generation then and God Bless The Who then and now that Rockin row will never die keep on keeping on Pete and Rodger and the Spirit of the Moon, The Ox will always live on long live Rock Have fun in Detroit and all u Who fans God Bless America

  31. J.... Y....

    Don't smoke your Dope in the front row

  32. C.... K....

    0:43 Rabbit Bundrick, keyboard player, behind him, Bob Pridden, The Who's primary sound engineer 1966-2016

  33. G.... M....

    love it jesus im getting old

  34. M.... V....

    rediscovering this beautiful song hadn't heard since I was about 13.i saw the title and it's like i knew I remembered liking the song back in the day.Good to download and hear again

  35. J.... C....

    This is the first album they did after Keith Moon died. This is my favorite song they ever played on every level. Plus having Kenny Jones from the old Rod Stewart days is a huge plus, I'm a drummer myself and I've always admired Kenny Jones as a solid drummer , as well as the Who as top shelf musicians.

  36. J.... Y....

    Happy birthday Mr Daltry can't wait to see you when you get to Detroit on the 28 of May 20 days after my birthday what a birthday gift I was so much older than I'm younger than that now I was 15 when I seen u guys play The Quadrophenia album the last time I've seen just the 2 of u play u and Pete after the concert Pete said if we come back we will probably be in wheel chairs well I new that wouldn't happen I would like to see u throw the microphone In the air and Pete u do have a few Who jumps in u keep on keeping on for the late Keith and the Ox I know you're there always in Spirit

  37. T.... P....

    Give Kenny a break....Moon is my hero but by this time he would probably be in rehab and or a wheelchair..sad to say

  38. M.... T....

    2019 inspiring song!

  39. S.... R....

    I know Face Dances and It's Hard get little respect from critics, but they're the two Who albums I listen to the most lately. Hidden gems, like this, throughout.

  40. S.... H....

    Pete does not look well at all.

  41. D.... P....

    I'm kinda surprised this song never made any greatest hits albums by the who. This is a mostly forgotten but very good song by them. But they had so many great tunes I guess you couldn't get em all on there.

  42. k.... ....

    I just can’t do it. I’ve tried to like the post-Keith era...no matter how hard I try...to me it’s all crap. Except maybe The Quiet One.

  43. C.... L....

    I need your body
    but I can’t just demand it.

  44. J.... C....

    Why did Entwinstle almost not appear on this promo?

  45. B.... ....

    The 80's material gets a lot of criticism because of the absence of Mr Moon. But the truth is, the early 80's contains a lot of my favorite music from the Who, even without the great Keith Moon. May God bless your rest, Mr Moon.

  46. A.... D....

    I love this song so much and don't know if it's just me, but in this videoclip I think Daltrey's eyes look so sad.

  47. 7.... ....

  48. G.... M....

    Lyrics please

  49. j.... g....

    SUPER GRUP...THE WHO

  50. C.... W....

    Have never heard this been listening to The Who since 83 wow they have no bad songs

  51. j.... h....

    spring break 82 ray young freaking out allways had ciggs

  52. B.... ....

    Interesting contrast of old- (Townshend's Rickenbacker 360) and new-school (Entwistle's Steinberger).

  53. J.... M....

    This track, from face dances, underrated album, great song 💿

  54. D.... P....

    Look at Pete in the background dancing around ! Love it! The ultimate showman!

  55. B.... M....

    This song didnt work then and doesnt today

    B.... M....

    That's your opinion

  56. J.... A....

    The Who The Best!

  57. D.... D....

    Poor Kenny really got the Bum's Rush..I will agree that his drumming wasn't right for The Who's music...but under the circumstances he did what he could.

  58. j.... ....

    God, how did i forget about this song?

  59. m.... s....

    Was Roger thinking of A. his hair B. going to the gym C. getting Kenny Jones kicked out of The Who or D. all of the above.

  60. M.... G....

    Best song on Face Dances dedicated to and about Pete's devotion to Me her Baba..Dont let go indeed

  61. J.... Y....

    I made a mistake On Pete And Daltry Birthday I Say This With the Rhythm of My Heart Daltry Going on 71 the Next Day And as for Pete was 76 That I Want to Say It was There Last Because Pete if We Come Back in Wheel Chairs Never Say Never Especially With these To Who Members God Bless The World

  62. h.... ....

    Perhaps the Who's most "unsung" song...

  63. m.... c....

    funny how Pete plays the same guitar through out the whole video, but there is a little solo on a classical acoustic

  64. R.... C....

    I was too young to get this. it was very different from the moon era, but what a great song

  65. K.... A....

    Classic tune, rarely played on the radio...very underrated in my opinion.

  66. T.... ....

    Rickenbacker!

  67. m.... c....

    Entwhistle wrote the first draft for this song; it was call Don't Let Go the Coke --- they changed it a little

  68. B.... L....

    Question for you Who fanatics: Pete's solo song, Face Dances, which I think is an incredible song...was it originally slated for this album, and if so, how did it not make the grade here? I think Face Dances and Slit Skirts are simply amazing from that solo album of Pete's.

  69. h.... ....

    Perhaps their most underrated song.

  70. D.... H....

    This song and the Quiet One are tw under appreciated tunes from the Kenny Jones era.

  71. D.... B....

    Sounds like the Eagles take it easy

  72. Y.... ....

    ooh, that's so sad... how low the great Who have fallen during the 80's

  73. D.... T....

    Don’t forget your faggy scarf, Roger.

  74. j.... f....

    this album is when pete was living his kieth moon period ????? drugs are illegal you know?? ????

  75. j.... f....

    roger disliked kenney because he took over attracting the chicks? he felt threatened

  76. L.... N....

    So fucking good I can't stand it!!!

  77. c.... ....

    Beautifully timeless video. This and "Athena" are my secret favorite Who songs.

    c.... ....

    haha i know what you mean

  78. S.... ....

    1:15 simple, but tasteful guitar solo

  79. M.... B....

    All of the nit-wits in my high school disliked The Who (by this point), but loved cliché-ridden heavy metal.

    Such was life in the shadow of the NYC skyline in a factory town.

  80. G.... ....

    Incredible. Nothing more needs to be said.

  81. F.... V....

    I bought a coat to at a hand store it is a Donnybrook coat it was warm and i just lost alot of other coats people didnt approve of my coat people would tell me that coat dont fit the budget or makes me look good so off to the donation box they went one by one till no more coats this one was special it was 1980s coat when the who sang don't let go of the coat it was old and looked like woman lived inside the coat fixed it and went out a man was calling me and i said what is it where's the blond haired lady who that i said and we heard GET OUT!!! Shouting inside the coat he ran away so fast i still got the coat and named my bunny donnybrooks i hear the voice of the woman and strange things happen this is the coat for me still no one approves of it im so cursed but its my coat im not letting go of the coat😊and the bunny🐰

  82. L.... d....

    love you Roger...bring me my coffee now..:)

  83. T.... S....

    ehh, doesn't have that WHO sound.

  84. M.... P....

    My god that’s been a quit hour

  85. c.... l....

    :38 best smile ever

  86. D.... D....

    Kenny got a bad rap here...and yes looking back It just wasn't The Who after Keith died...Yes they could have called it a day but John,Pete and Roger decided to carry on...under the circumstances Kenny played what he could on The earlier material

  87. S.... D....

    Just the best people to grace the earth. I love you boys.

  88. W.... S....

    Cant imagine what Pete has been thru

  89. J.... S....

    Big Big Love 🤘🏻👅😊

  90. D.... P....

    when a lot of people think of the who they think of baba , I can see, or won't get fooled, but there's truly some hidden gems later in their career like this one.

    D.... P....

    I prefer the deep cuts to the big anthem tunes these days

  91. R.... P....

    love this band!!!!!

  92. O.... G....

    Happy Birthday today(September 16) to drummer Kenney Jones. Cheers!

  93. f.... ....

    All this talk of Kenney Jones vs. Keith Moon is ridiculous. Townshend obviously hired Jones because he knew how great the Small Faces were.

  94. k.... ....

    Kenny Jones was a fine drummer, he fitted in well with the Small Faces, but lacked the hard drive and fill ins of Keith Moon, I think Zak Starky works well with the Who. (or what's left of them)

    k.... ....

    BUT Kenny was perfect for both the "Face Dances" and "It's Hard" albums,and that's what people DON'T realize. Could you see Keith playing on this song? Not really,for me at least. But I totally agree with your assessment of Zak! (Being he got some lessons FROM Keith,it's hard not to have some of that shine through,ya know?)

  95. G.... R....

    What is a coat?

  96. D.... F....

    Where are the millions of obvious views of this video?

  97. h.... g....

    I feel like I'm gonna see Humphrey bogart with a cigarette in mouth come walking in during this! Not complaining though, the black and white is a nice touch 😊

  98. t.... ....

    VERY GAY
