Sister Disco - The Who Cover

Another favorite of mine from 1978's 'WHO ARE YOU' record.
Very operatic....and like 'Guitar And Pen', it has these unreal
chord changes.
How Pete Townshend writes these kinds of songs (((SMH)))
just reinforces my belief that he is one of the greatest
songwriters ever!
including one the coolest acoustic guitar outros
I've ever heard...so I tried to play it.
I did an interpretation of the cool brass-like synth too.

Sister Disco - The Who
Words and Music by Pete Townshend

As I walked through that hospital door
I was sewn up like a coat
I got a smile from the bite of the wind
Watched the fresh fall of snow....

I knew then that my life took a turn
I felt strong and secure
And with adhesive tape over my nose
I felt almost demure

Goodbye Sister Disco
With your flashing trash lamps
Goodbye Sister Disco
And to your clubs 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, now I go
I go where the music fits my soul...

And I, I will never let go, I'll never let go !
until the echo of the street fight has dissolved.....

I will choose 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
Ooh, a woman in my hair
I've got you all lookin' out though my eyes
My feet are a prayer

Goodbye Sister Disco
With your flashing trash lamps
Goodbye Sister Disco
And to your clubs and your tramps

Goodbye Sister Disco
My dancing's left you behind
Goodbye, now you're solo
Black plastic; deaf, dumb and blind

Good work! I remember listening to who are you many many years ago in my bedroom. You did this (my favourite track from the album) justice. Thanks for the memories
