The Way It Is

["Jeff House" <whocasa@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Bizarre.  Roger Daltrey debates Mark Leaman on IGTC this morning.

Here's a piece of writing from Simon Townshend that I think fits in nicely
with this existential debate:

"Oh, the feeling's gone so what went wrong
Don't search for reasons why
'Cause that's that
That's just where it's at
Like it or not it's what is what
And there ain't no turning back
Get this, that's just the way it is
It's the way it is
Not the way it could be
The way it was
Or the way it should be
The things you miss
Your lovers kiss
Punching air with your clenched fist
Will not change this
'Cause that's the way it is.

 Soaking up the rain
To wash away the pain
Can't somebody explain
Why it's driving me insane
I'm soaking up the sun
I'm not the only one
That's been burned by love
Oh, the days are long and the nights are young
And you must come to terms
Don't be afraid 'cause that's the state of play
You can only have what you can have
So give up on the ghost that once was
There may be no 'because'
It's the way it is
Not the way it could be
The way it was
Or the way it should be
The things you miss
Your lovers kiss
A voice you never could resist
Punching air with your clenched fist
Will not change this
'Cause that's the way it is."
