Evolution Lyrics - Singles - Pete Townshend

Well, once I was a stone, many years ago 

Into a pool was thrown, many years ago 

Time went by and the pool ran dry 

Excavated was I, and tempered and beat in the fiery heat 

By the hand of a man, whose name was Dan, Dan the blacksmith 

Well once I was a daisy, many years ago 

In pastures green and lazy, many years ago 

But I was et by a goat who fell in a moat 

And forgetting to float he sunk like a lead and stayed until dead 

And was relieved to find just how kind it all was

Well, once I was a bullfrog, had to struggle for survival 

And once I was a carp and lived in waters on the meadow 

And once I was a mynah bird, quoting verses from the Bible 

I said pretty boy, pretty boy, Saint Luke 

(Guitar solo) 

Then I was born a human baby, many years ago 

I remember I was born unto a lady, many years ago 

All our hopes were piled on the back of a child 

Who turned out to be wild, sent the devil a prayer 

Caused the parson to swear so I took my leave 

To lie and thieve, on my way to jail

Well, I've been a tinker, tailor, soldier, sailor 

Known good times and disaster 

But now I have a teacher and my teacher has a master 

And the master is perfection, so he'll help us get there faster 

Don't need no proof, 'cause that's the truth, and I'll drink to that!
