Lyrics
Substitute The Who You think we look pretty good together You think my shoes are made of leather But I'm a substitute for another guy I look pretty tall but my heels are high The simple things you see are all complicated I look pretty young, but I'm just back-dated, yeah your lies for fact (Substitute) I can see right through your plastic mac (Substitute) I look all white, but my dad was black (Substitute) my fine linen suit is really made out of sack I was born with a plastic spoon in my mouth The north side of my town faced east, and the east was facing south And now you dare to look me in the eye Those crocodile tears are what you cry It's a genuine problem, you won't try To work it out at all you just pass it by, pass it by me for him (Substitute) my coke for gin (Substitute) you for my mum (Substitute) at least I'll get my washing done I'm a substitute for another guy I look pretty tall but my heels are high The simple things you see are all complicated I look pretty young, but I'm just back-dated, yeah I was born with a plastic spoon in my mouth The north side of my town faced east, and the east was facing south And now you dare to look me in the eye Those crocodile tears are what you cry It's a genuine problem, you won't try To work it out at all you just pass it by, pass it by me for him (Substitute) my coke for gin (Substitute) you for my mum (Substitute) at least I'll get my washing done your lies for fact (Substitute) I can see right through your plastic mac (Substitute) I look all white, but my dad was black (Substitute) My fine-looking suit is really made out of sack
