Pete Townshend - Mary Lyrics
Mary, you are everything a man could want
And I want you, Mary
Did you know when you pushed me once away from you
The thing I knew grew inside me
But I can't see why
Can't they see that they can't beat
Nothing I have for you
Mary, you are everything a man could need
How I need you, Mary
Yeah
How I need you
When I look at the hole in your coat
I remember when I was a child
And my brother slept on the floor
Oh, I know that the sun don't shine
Down on every man
But when women let the my brother down
I swore one day I'd land
Me one Mary
Swore I'd land me one Mary
Oh, Mary
When I look at the hole in your coat
I have to love your more
I remember when I was a child
My brother slept on the floor
Oh, I know that the sun don't shine
Down on every man
But when the woman let my brother down
I swore one day, I'd land me Mary
I swore I'd land me Mary

Pete Townshend Mary Comments
One of his best songs. This performance is perfect.
Man what a gem!
The greatest
What a gamer. Maybe the best.
Genius can't wait to see THE WHO one last time in Toronto, Sept 2019!!
So so great.
Blooming' brilliant! One of Pete's lesser known sublime classics.
Definitely one of his best - and least appreciated - songs.
one of the greatest artists of our times......incredible.....what a singer....(and guitar player, not needed to be said)
Just such spellbinding acoustic playing from about 2:30 - 4:00 especially.
Phenomenal 🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸
James May playing much better guitar than a car sounds on piano
He's a gui-tar wizard, there has to be a twist. A gui-tar wizard's got such a supple wrist.
Huh. I've never thought of Pinball Wizard being about Townshend; it was about Tommy. But yes, Pete always had and still does have a wonderful ability to play triplets. In my opinion is less a guitar wizard and more a musical or lyrical wizard.
dreadful song writer....
floor analogy i adore...
Beautiful song. I have always loved Pete.
Those harmonics look to have carried into the acoustic section of Who Are You.
Has there ever been a better performer? I'd like to know who.
Who the fuck are you? :)
Theres only 'ONE' talented Pete Townshend !!
The song is brilliant and this performance is impeccable. he is a wizard on that guitar.
The Who recorded this song in 1971, for the Who s' Next /Lifehouse album. Sadly the tapes were ruined or lost.
This is one of Pete's greatest songs. I love it. I have actually played and recorded this song.
Incredible command of the instrument.
ufffffff too much for my ears.............simplemind is Mr.TOWSHEND
Scoop is awesome!
Ever since I bought "Scoop" decades ago, I've loved this song.......
mooding the world,mooding the consciencious.........i
i love the chord change after "mary, you are everything a man could want." what a killer chord.
one of my favorite deep cuts
When I hear this, I know why he's my musical hero...I don't care what the detractors say...love ya Pete!
thank you so much for uploading this! i love the demo of this, and seeing it live is amazing
the guy's name is phil palmer..
The James May looking backing guitarist?
ugh what a waste not to put that orchestra on this song!
amasing
Holy shit, this is amazing.
Wandeful song! Long life Pete Townshend. ¡"Genious"!
That's Ray and Dave Davies nephew on second guitar.
his guitar playing is mesmerizing-
Been listening to Pete Townshend since I was a teenager. now I'm 51 & still listening. He makes my world a better place with songs such as this.
Wow!! This is the great man at his very best here!! I love this track...Great song Great voice.. The best songman ever!!
I just love this song! Thanks for posting!
demo of scoop amazing ,petes drums suited the mood ,some songs like this only pete could pull off not a who song
Have to admit, its one of my fav Lifehouse tunes. So nice and sweet in Pete's demo, just beautiful. Nice to hear it again.
The Who's version of this, I'm thinking, would sound pretty close to the demo version, like their version of Time Is Passing did. The Who did actually record it, but the version is lost to history at the moment.
I could imagine The Who really rocking out at 1:25, if this were ever a Who song. Pity Townshend favours the quieter stuff.
The Federation Conversation The Who did record this song in early 1971, during the Lifehouse session, but after the album was abandoned, so was the recording of Mary.
unreal!!!!
unreal!!!!!
What a great song!
