Pure and Simple

The WHO, Odds and Sods Album, 1974

There once was a note, pure and easy
Playing so free like a breath rippling by
The note is eternal, I hear it, it sees me
Forever we blend it, forever we dieI listened and I heard music in a word
And words when you played your guitar
The noise that I was hearing was a million people cheering
And a child flew past me riding in a star As people assemble
Civilization is trying to find a new way to die
But killing is really merely scene changer
All men are bored with other men's liesI listened and I heard music in a word
And words when you played your guitar
The noise that I was hearing was a million people cheering
And a child flew past me riding in a star Gas on the hillside, oil in the teacup
Watch all the chords of life lose their joy
Distortion becomes somehow pure in it's wildness
The note that began all can also destroy We all know success, when we all find our own dreams
And our love is enough to knock down any walls
And the future's been seen as men try to realize
The simple secret of the note in us all, in us all listened and I heard music in a word
And words when you played your guitar
The noise that I was hearing was a million people cheering
And a child flew past me riding in a star There once was a note, listen
There once was a note, listen
There once was a note, listen
There once was a note, listen
There once was a note, listen
There once was a note, listen
There once was a note, listen
There once was a note, listen
There once was a note, listen
There once was a note, listen
There once was a note, listen
There once was a note, listen
There once was a note, listen
