"We Close Tonight"
John swears that he didn't write anything for Quad but he also says that's Pete
singing when it's so obviously himself (with Keith doing the middle bits) so I
don't think he can be completely trusted.
Pete's remarked right after the recording that John had written a song that
summed up the whole of Quadrophenia. He added that John refused to play it for
him, so I have my doubts that the song was "We Close Tonight." It could be that
Pete wrote a song for John and Keith to sing at the point when he realized that
John wasn't going to get a vocal on the album.
