>My kids roll their eyes when I tell them about their soft and spoiled lifestyles

I've heard Pete Townsend [!]
describe how he takes his kids
for drives through London,

pointing out the flats
where the Who used to live and
he'd do the writing

and try to describe
the shabby/awful/dreadful
life they put up with

while making good stuff.
Townsend said, "My kids just roll
their eyes, say, 'Yeah, so?'"

Happy Jack wasn't old, but he was a man.
He lived in the sand at the Isle of Man.
The kids would all sing, he would take the wrong key,
So they rode on ahead on their furry donkey.

The kids couldn't hurt Jack,
They tried, tried, tried.
They dropped things on his back,
They lied, lied, lied, lied, lied.

But they couldn't stop Jack, 'or the waters lapping,
And they couldn't prevent Jack from being happy.

But they couldn't stop Jack, 'or the waters lapping,
And they couldn't prevent Jack from being happy.

The kids couldn't hurt Jack,
They tried, tried, tried.

They lied, lied, lied, lied, lied.

But they couldn't stop Jack, 'or the waters lapping.
And they couldn't prevent Jack from being happy.
