Maxims For Lunch - Pete Townshend

Now I know I was served in a big silver chair

But you seemed to think I deserved all indulgence I dared

We shared the same golden spoon

Unaware of who was feeding whom

Back then at the start we could eat with anyone we cared

I should’ve know you was full by the way that you hand it to me

We both got so old I couldn’t say how we planned it to be

No need to pull any punch

Love maxims for lunch

With the fresh broken heart you will eat with anyone that’s agreeing

We were full on caprese, we laughed while we dine

I served the entree, you served the spirits and the wine

But time heals, and while we laughed through our meals

I cheated desire, fading and tired and pine

So won’t you RSVP now, say it right to my face

Have a maxim more for the road and let’s get out of this place

I spent too long on the queue, you over drank the Le Tour

Let’s get back to wafers and water, I can’t stand the pace

I spent too long on the mike, while you were loving to type

And now that we’ve eaten we can both say what the hell we like
