That would be the lyrics to Pure And Easy.

I don't want to diss Pete for his gift of gab, cause I saw him in 67-76 and
there is on one better. It was because of the Who I gave up trying to play for
a long time, and the reason I have a real hard time with a lot of modern bands
who are suppose to be good.  GbV were the first band in a long time that had
even a hint of that sort of rock energy and melody, and musicianship.
I guess you have to separate the man and the music.
