The Who - Sell Out - 1967 - **



Third album. With the minor success of the first single, I Can See For Miles, Townshend was reportedly quite ticked off at the record buying public, as he had forecast a #1 record. He then set his sights on other more lengthy projects, resulting in Tommy. Between tracks on this album are fake commercials and psa's from a pirate radio station, leading to lawsuits. Also noteworthy is that Daltry only had solo vocals on 3 tracks, with Townshend performing most.


Favorite Track - I Can See For Miles

I know you've deceived me, now here's a surprise
I know that you have 'cause there's magic in my eyes

I can see for miles and miles and miles and miles and miles
Oh yeah

If you think that I don't know about the little tricks you play
And never see you when deliberately you put things in my way

Well, here's a poke at you
You're gonna choke on it too
You're gonna lose that smile
Because all the while

I can see for miles and miles
I can see for miles and miles
I can see for miles and miles and miles and miles and miles
Oh yeah

You took advantage of my trust in you when I was so far away
I saw you holding lots of other guys and now you've got the nerve to say

That you still want me
Well, that's as may be
But you gotta stand trial
Because all the while

I can see for miles and miles
I can see for miles and miles
I can see for miles and miles and miles and miles and miles
Oh yeah

I know you've deceived me, now here's a surprise
I know that you have 'cause there's magic in my eyes

I can see for miles and miles and miles and miles and miles
Oh yeah

The Eiffel Tower and the Taj Mahal are mine to see on clear days
You thought that I would need a crystal ball to see right through the haze

Well, here's a poke at you
You're gonna choke on it too
You're gonna lose that smile
Beacuse all the while

I can see for miles and miles
I can see for miles and miles
I can see for miles and miles and miles and miles
and miles and miles and miles and miles

I can see for miles and miles*

Relax while we head off to Armenia city in the sky to witness the sunrise and you will know that I can see for miles as we munch on our heinz baked beans and spread on the medac with Rael. Meanwhile Silas Stingy knows how our love was is and that as Mary Anne with the shaky hands works on your tattoo, I can't reach you to cover the smell of burning flesh with odorona, though I'll try.
