Pete Townshend - I'm One Lyrics






Every year is the same
I feel it again
I'm a loser, no chance to win
Leaves start falling
Come down is calling
Loneliness starts sinking in

But I'm one
I am one
And I can see
That this is me
I will be
You'll all see, I'm the one

Where do you get
Those blue, blue jeans
Faded, patched, secret so tight?
Where do you get
That walk oh, so lean?
Your shoes and your shirt always right
But I'm one, I'm one
And I can see
That this is me
I will be
You'll all see, I'm the one

I got a Gibson
Without a case
But I can't get that even-tanned look on my face
Ill-fitting clothes
And I blend in the crowd
Fingers so clumsy
Voice too loud
But I'm one, I'm one
I can see
That this is me
And I will be
You'll all see, I'm the one
I'm the one
I'm the one

  16. M.... W....

    A true "Mod"! Look it up.

  17. m.... e....

    Pete Townsend is every bit as amazing an artist as anyone in the history of Rock. The emotional depths he reaches in his music are second to none. I love his solo work and his demos of who songs as much as The Who music. I think he could have been something of a Dylan, Young, Bowie as a solo artist.

  18. t.... ....

    I'm still screaming out these lyrics like a maniac

  19. K.... K....

    VOLUME!!!

  20. C.... S....

    i love his voice like i love my mother. thank you Pete.

  21. g.... ....

    most people look at pete as a true guitarist: he plays the lead like rhythm, but, on songs like this, which may be my favourite song by the who...his finger picking (banjo-ing)...is amazing, and unprecedented. quadrophenia, in my opinion is his best work, and this stand out song, is just brilliant. if dylan is the american poet, then pete is the english.

    g.... ....

    I think the music Townsend has made with The Who and solo is the highest achievement in Rock equaled only by Dylan.

    g.... ....

    @citileft Pete had some help. Me, kinda a JAE fan.

    g.... ....

    @citilefti was kinda responding to 'grey'

    g.... ....

    Hes a dogshit guitar player

    g.... ....

    one of the best right hands going around! my favourite acoustic guitar player.

  22. B.... B....

    To be played at my memorial service -- not just yet😋

  23. j.... c....

    Quel musicien,quel talent c'est magnifique.

  24. C.... ....

    Nicely done, Pete.

  25. T.... B....

  26. D.... T....

    Genius at work

    D.... T....

    God bless Pete Townshend .. oh never mind , you already have ,,and Abundantly... and he treats Blessings the way they deserve to be ...he Shares them ..we are All the Better for it.

  27. Y.... P....

    My anthem !

    Y.... P....

    Me too!

    Y.... P....

    Yann Pinguet This song gave me strength when I was 15 years old. I felt so awkward and different but there was a guy out there who could write a song like this , who knew how that felt. So I started to realise I wasn't the only person who felt like this. Thanks Pete.

  28. M.... S....

    It is great to hear it done by the man who is almost forty years older but I'd rather hear the studio version of a younger man. And Moon's drums which build like a mutha.

  29. N.... B....

    That song is tattooed in the tapestry of my youth

    N.... B....

    Nez Bit what a lovely comment 😊

  30. M.... G....

    Beautiful.

  31. T.... C....

    Yay Pete Townshend!!

  32. t.... ....

    "Every year is the same. I feel it again." True, so far. I will rue the day that "loneliness starts sinking in", when I, a millennial, lose Townshend. The man is 70 years old, and is as important to me now as when I discovered him when he was 60; more so. Now I play the guitar, and I play it like Townshend junior. Flamenco, no thirds, sus chords. I do it all. I'd love to develop my own style, but I always look to Townshend for how I should play. He's the Stanley Kubrick of music. This man should, will, go down in history as a 20th century Mozart. The Who are so unknown to people my age, 1990+.

    We'll never see it. But hundreds of years from now, people will study this man as the unique composer and artist that he is. Truly. Utterly, unique.

    t.... ....

    I don't think it's likely that anyone now will create anything so enduring. The best music came out of the recent past from the likes of Townshend, Davies, and many others ... but it will endure. There was so much good music produced out of the rock era, and it will endure and be appreciated by generations to come - rather in the same way as classical music has been.

    t.... ....

    I'm 65 now, but I can remember with clarity every time I've seen The Who in concert, five times in my life. Two of them with Keith Moon. The other three with Kenny on drums, and the last concert, the Farewell Tour in Toronto. They were good, very good, but Kenny just could not compare with Keith in any shape, form, or fashion-and I could tell Pete was still torn up over the death of Keith, and this was in 1982. I love them still. Quadrophenia is still one of my favorite albums of all time, and I still listen to my cassette and records of it. There will never be another band like them, and it is unfortunate that the newer generations will never get to experience them live, with Keith, Pete, John, and Roger the way they were meant to be experienced. The 60's, 70's, 80's and early 90's were the pinnacle of music. Today, not so much. I grieve for the loss.

    t.... ....

    No seriously man, where did you get those blue jeans then, eh?

    t.... ....

    thankyoupourlavideo The Who aren’t as unknown as you think.. I was born way WAY after The Who were done but I still enjoy the music and know who they r!

  33. D.... R....

    Simply awesome.....

  34. N.... J....

    Happy 70th Pete
