Lyrics Pete Townshend

Pete Townshend

Sister Disco

As I walked out that hospital door

I was sewn up like a coat

I got a smile from the bite of the wind

I watched the fresh fall of snow

I knew by then that my life took a turn

I felt strong and secure

With adhesive tape over my nose

I felt almost demure

Goodbye sister disco

With your flashing trash lamps

Goodbye sister disco

To your thugs and your tramps

Goodbye sister disco

Now I go where the music fits my soul

Where the music fits my soul

And I will never let go

Till the echo of the street fight has dissolved

I will chase nightmares and cold stormy seas

I will take over your grief and disease

I'll stay beside you and comfort your soul

When you are lonely and broken and old

Now I walk with a man in my face

A woman in my hair

I've got you all looking out though my eyes

My dancing feet are a prayer

Goodbye sister disco

With your flashing trash lamps

Goodbye sister disco

To your thugs and your tramps

Goodbye sister disco

My dancing's left you behind

Goodbye, now you're solo

Black plastic deaf dumb and blind

Goodbye

Goodbye sister disco

Ha ha ha...

Goodbye sister disco

Goodbye sister disco I got to go

Goodbye sister disco

Goodbye sister disco with your flashing, your flashing

Trash lamps

Get out of here
