Interpret:

Pete Townshend

Album:

Happy Birthday

I've looked under chairs
I've looked under tables
I've tried to find the key
To fifty million fables


They call me the seeker
I've been searching low and high
I won't get to get what I'm after
Till the day I die


I asked Bobby Dylan
I asked The Beatles
I asked Timmothy Leary
But he couldn't help me either
They call me the seeker
I've been searching low and high
I won't get to get what I'm after
Till the day I die


People tend to hate me
'Cause I never smile
As I ransack their homes
They want to shake my hand


Focusing on nowhere
Investigating miles
I'm a seeker
I'm a really desperate man


I won't get to get what I'm after
Till the day I die


I learned how to raise my voice in anger
Yeah, but look at my face, ain't this a smile?
I'm happy when life's good
And when it's bad I cry
I've got values but I don't know how or why


I'm looking for me
You're looking for you
We're looking in at each other
And we don't know what to do
They call me the seeker
I've been searching low and high
I won't get to get what I'm after
Till the day I die
