The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

I woke up in a Soho doorway

A policeman knew my name

He said "You can go sleep at home tonight

If you can get up and walk away"

I staggered back to the underground

You know the breeze blew back my hair

I remember throwing punches around

And preaching from my chair

Who are you? (Who are you? Who, who, who, who?)

(Who are you? Who, who, who, who?)

I said (Who are you? Who, who, who, who?)

I really wanna know (Who are you? Who, who, who, who?)

Took the tube back out of town

Back to the Rollin' Pin

Feel a little like a dying clown

With a streak of Rin Tin Tin

I stretched back and I hiccupped (hiccup)

Looked back on my busy day

I was Eleven hours in the Tin Can

There's got to be better way

(Who are you? Who, who, who, who?)

You know I really need to know

(Who are you? Who, who, who, who?)

(Who are you? Who, who, who, who?)

(Who are you? Who, who, who, who?)

Let me tell you who I am

I am the man

That is scared of concrete

For you I have a plan

I put my money in the bank

I don't keep it in my hand

And sometimes it all goes wrong I make a stand

Whenever, I walk down the street I feel afraid

People want there money cause they want to get paid

All I want is a little love and to live my life

And all I want for return is my very own wife

Why do people in red

Who are you who do you fear

When I take this knife and in your eyes I sneer

When I look at the people who came from the sixties

Up through the nineties now we reach this pentacle

Understand that the reason to exist

Is that life is something that you live have to persist

Who could just forget the place where we came

My name is Pete Townshend we want you just the same

Who are you

Who who who who are you

Whoooooooo are you?

Ooh wa ooh wa ooh wa ooh wa ooh.......

I know there's a place you walked

Where love falls from the trees

My heart is like a broken cup

You know I only feel right on my knees

I spit out like a sewer hole

Yet still receive your kiss

How can I measure up to anyone now

After such a love as this?

(Who are you? Who, who, who, who?)

(Who are you? Who, who, who, who?)

I really wanna know? (Who are you? Who, who, who, who?)

(Who are you? Who, who, who, who?)

[Guitar Solo]

Tell me who are you?

I can just remember about who I am

Who are you ?
