Our Love Was

	One of the very few Pete Townshend "love songs" which actually IS a love song and not a tale of conflict and disillusion, this song features a superb vocal from a young Roger Daltrey, a sizzling guitar break, and some very taseteful French horn touches from Entwistle.

Lyrics

Radio London reminds you:
Go to the church of your choice.

Our love was ...

Our love was famine, frustration
We only acted out an imitation
Of what real love should have been
Then suddenly ...

Our love was flying
Our love was soaring
Our love was shining
Like a summer morning

Flying, soaring
Shining morning
Never leaving
Lying, dying

Love love love long
Love love love long
Love love love long
Love love love long

Love love love long
Love love love long
Love love love long
Love love love long

Love love love long
Love love love long
Love love love long
Love love love long

Our love was flying
Our love was soaring
Our love was shining
Like a summer morning

Our love was famine, frustration
We only acted out an imitation
Of what real love should have been
And then suddenly ...

Our love was flying
Our love was soaring
Our love was shining
Like a summer morning

Big "L"

You're a pussycat, you're where it's at
The one that's in on every play
The in sound - Big "L"
Speakeasy, drink easy, pull easy.
