Ace - How Long Lyrics
How long has this been going on?
How long has this been going on?
Well, if friends with their fancy persuasion
Don't admit that it's part of a scheme,
Then I can't help but have my suspicions
'Cause I ain't quite as dumb as I seem.
And you said you was never intending
To break up our singing this way,
But there ain't any use in pretending.
It could happen to us any day.
How long has this been going on?
How long has this been going on?
Oh, your friends with their fancy persuasion
Don't admit that it's part of a scheme.
But I can't help but have my suspicions
'Cause I ain't quite as dumb as I seem.
Oh, you said you was never intending
To break up our singing this way,
But there ain't any use in pretending.
It could happen to us any day.
And how long has this been going on?
How long has this been going on?
How long?
How long has this been going on?
How long has this been going on?
How long has this been going on?
How long?
How long has this been going on?
Fall 1973, The Who released the double album Quadrophenia composed by Pete Townshend with Moon singing
"Bell Boy." Quadrophenia is about the four-faceted Jimmy, a Mod from
1964-1965, who climbs on The Rock to examine his life. Each member
of The Who had a theme. Moon's theme was "a bloody lunatic, I'll
even carry your bags," needing the attention of others while
keeping up a front of self-containment at the same time.
"The Real Me," "Bell Boy" and "Love Reign O'er Me" are the
significant tracks. Moon also sang on "We Close Tonight" which was
released on the re-issue of Odds & Sods.
