I Am Afraid Songtext
von Pete Townshend

I stand beside you
I face the future
I′ll admit to you
I am afraid
I am afraid
As I stand beside you
I have denied you
I am afraid

I am not drunk now
I am not pilled down
My window's wound down
I am not brainwashed
My bed′s still running
I am not hiding
I am not running
I am afraid


I swing you high or
I swing you low
I watch you writhe or
I watch you grow
I hear you crying
Your brother's dying
There'll be no more lying
I am afraid

By my religion
I stand here naked
I cannot fake it
With God as witness
My little children
Who wait for feeding
I watch you bleeding
I am afraid

I am afraid
As I stand beside you
I have denied you
I am afraid

I stand beside you
I face the future
I′ll admit to you
You′ve got me afraid


High, one time psychedelic flower child now turned alcoholic
Vegetable, encouraged a steamy correspondence which climaxed in
The innocent 14 year old's now infamous photo with its suggestion
Of nakedness, underage necrophilia and incest. Now there′s been a
Dramatic new development. Although Ray High's albums have been re-
Released, decent, normal people will be more interested in young
Rosalind. She′s a brilliant singer, and with my help has just
Released a brilliant new record. I predict a smash hit for this
Talented, sexy young singer, so rudely
Abused by that slimeball, Ray High
