Is going to be a good year.
Especially if you and me
See it in together.
So you think 21 is going to be a good year.
It could be for me and her,
But you and her-no never!
I had no reason to be over optimistic,
But somehow when you smiled
I could brave bad weather
What about the boy?
What about the boy?
What about the boy?
He saw it all!
You didn't hear it [I heard it]
You didn't see it. [I saw it]
You won't say nothing to no one [I won't say nothing to no one]
ever in your life. [never in my life]
You never heard it [I heard it]
Oh how absurd it
All seems without any proof.
You didn't hear it [I heard it]
You didn't see it [I saw it]
You never heard it not a word of it. [I heard it, every word of it]
You won't say nothing to no one [I won't say nothing to no one]
Never tell a soul [Never tell a soul]
What you know is the Truth. [What I know is the Truth]
Got a feeling twenty one
Is going to be a good year.
Especially if you and me
See it in together.
Got a feeling twenty one
Is going to be a good year.
Especially if you and me
See it in together.
I had no reason to be over optimistic,
But somehow when you smile
I could brave bad weather
What about the boy?
1921 - Who
Released in 1966, '1921' stands as a defining track in the catalog of The Who, capturing the band's transition from garage rock to a more polished, theatrical sound. The song features the iconic 'Who's on First' guitar riff, a signature element that became synonymous with the group's energetic live performances and studio recordings.

It showcases the band's signature blend of rock energy with theatrical flair, delivered by the vocal prowess of Roger Daltrey and the driving rhythm section of Keith Moon and Pete Townshend. As a staple of their discography, '1921' remains a powerful example of British rock at its peak, influencing countless artists who followed.
