My favorite, from the Dirty Jobs..

I am a young man
I ain't done very much,
You men should remember how you used to fight.
Just like a child, I've been seeing only dreams,
I'm all mixed up but I know what's right.

I'm getting put down,
I'm getting pushed round,
I'm being beaten every day.
My life's fading,
But things are changing,
I'm not gonna sit and weep again.

It's not only amazing that so many FReepers are Who nuts, but particularly Quadrophenia scholars. I first heard Quadrophenia in 1978, and I was enthralled. Still am. That album connected to me like no other.

The most potent line for me, from "Cut My Hair."

The kids at school have parents that seem so cool/although I don't want to hurt them, mine want me their way.

Perfectly summed up my way of thinking at age 18.
