Cache, Cache Lyrics by Pete Townshend

Scoop

0

Did you ever sleep in a bear pit
With apple cores and mice along?
Did you ever lay on ice and grit
Or search for a place where the wind was gone?

Did you ever tramp up endless hills
Past cozy homes with secret beds?
Did you ever dream of a suicide pill
And wake up cold to the smell of bread?

Well I have slept there badly twice
And shared my straw with scratching mice
Although you'll find some deep brown hair
I'll tell you something for nothin'
There ain't no bears in there (cache, cache)
Not a single bear in there (cache, cache)

Did you ever have to make a draw
For a hard wooden bench or a bed of stone?
Did you ever jimmy a stable door
Or scare the horse to escape the snow?

Did you ever invade a neat little yard
Wake up the kids who hope for ghosts?
Did you ever cause their dogs to bark
A guest who cursed their noisy hosts

Don't jump in expectin' fun
Don't swagger in with your elephant gun
Don't enter the cage wavin' chairs
'Cause I'll tell you something for nothin'
There ain't no bears in there (cache, cache)

There ain't no bears in there (cache, cache)

Did you ever pass the police at work
And hope that they might take you in?
Did you ever wonder why music hurts
When someone plays it aloof to sin?
Did you ever believe that a smile could cure
A happy face keep you warm at night?
Were you ever fooled by laughter's lure
Only to find that they laughed in spite?

Don't jump in expectin' fun
Don't swagger in with your elephant gun
Don't enter the cage wavin' a chair
'Cause I'll tell you something for nothin'
There ain't no bears in there (cache, cache)
There ain't no bear in there (cache, cache)

Did you ever finally find a place
A soft warm bed in a room of flowers
And when you finally laid down your face
You found you slept for a hundred hours
A hundred hours

There ain't no bears in there (cache, cache)
There ain't no bears in there (cache, cache)
There ain't no bears in there (cache, cache)
Not a single bear in there (cache, cache)
There ain't no bears in there (cache, cache)
There ain't no bears in there
