WF:

"I'm not the messiah" "Only the true messiah would deny he is the messiah."
"Well, what kind of chance does that give me? OK, I am the messiah." "Hail
messiah!"

I've seen that Daltrey quote (as well as the Townshend quote about John's
song), but I'm inclined to think that only in the most superficial way could
any song "sum up" QUAD. That particular album is too rich, too deep, and too
meaningful to be only a single song's worth of lyrics.
