[00:01.23] Subtistute
[00:07.80]
[00:08.95] by The Who
[00:13.97] You think we look pretty good together
[00:20.81] You think my shoes are made of leather
[00:24.99]
[00:27.00] But I'm a substitute for another guy
[00:30.71] I look pretty tall but my heels are high
[00:34.42] The simple things you see are all complicated
[00:37.81] I look pretty young, but I'm just back-dated, yeah
[00:42.56]
[00:45.07] Substitute your lies for fact
[00:48.52] I can see right through your plastic mac
[00:51.80] I look all white, but my dad was black
[00:55.24] My fine looking suit is really made out of sack
[00:59.21]
[01:02.35] I was born with a plastic spoon in my mouth
[01:08.61] The north side of my town faced east, and the east was facing south
[01:15.78] And now you dare to look me in the eye
[01:19.58] Those crocodile tears are what you cry
[01:23.11] It's a genuine problem, you won't try
[01:26.68] To work it out at all you just pass it by, pass it by
[01:32.04]
[01:34.14] Substitute me for him
[01:37.40] Substitute my coke for gin
[01:41.10] Substitute you for my mum
[01:44.43] At least I'll get my washing done
[01:50.70]
[02:05.06] But I'm a substitute for another guy
[02:08.62] I look pretty tall but my heels are high
[02:12.27] The simple things you see are all complicated
[02:15.94] I look pretty young, but I'm just back-dated, yeah
[02:21.55]
[02:40.58] I was born with a plastic spoon in my mouth
[02:46.87] The north side of my town faced east, and the east was facing south
[02:53.92] And now you dare to look me in the eye
[02:57.41] Those crocodile tears are what you cry
[03:01.10] It's a genuine problem, you won't try
[03:04.73] To work it out at all you just pass it by, pass it by
[03:10.80]
[03:12.29] Substitute me for him
[03:15.41] Substitute my coke for gin
[03:19.18] Substitute you for my mum
[03:22.49] At least I'll get my washing done
[03:26.62] Substitute your lies for fact
[03:29.97] I can see right through your plastic mac
[03:33.48] I look all white, but my dad was black
[03:36.73] My fine looking suit is really made out of sack
[03:41.59]
