Average song rating Here's something I've got to know: Pete Townshend comments that this song is about a girl frantically inventorying her purse as it becomes clear that the plane she's riding is about to go down. How was she carrying a piano in her purse? How did she get past airport security? Shouldn't she bear the blame for that plane crashing?? Bruce Beatlefan February 6, 2008

Lyrics

Separates and lingerie, seven pairs of shoes,
Lots of Woolworth's makeup, a pair of Black Watch trews,
Your out-of-tune piano, sentimental photographs,
A million little memories, a million little laughs.

The wing of the airplane has just caught on fire,
I say without reservation we ain't getting no higher.

All you wanted from me, all I had to give,
Nothing matters you'll see, when in paradise you live,
The plane is diving faster, we're getting near the ground,
Nobody is screaming, no one makes a sound.

It's a girl, Mrs. Walker, it's a girl,
It's a girl, Mrs. Walker, it's a girl,
It's a girl, Mrs. Walker, it's a girl,
It's a girl, Mrs. Walker, it's a girl.
