...sure that the chap who opened the left-handed shop in London last year won't make a go of it. I would guess that the majority of left-handers would have a hard time learning to use something designed just for them either because 1) they have learned to use most things as a right-hander would, or 2) they have learned to use things in their own gauche-appearing...

...person who can see his girl being unfaithful because he has telescopic vision like superman. The song deals with the same emotional situation as "I Heard it Through the Grapevine." "Disguises" expresses the same sentiment as Bob Dylan's "I Don't Believe You." The situation that the Who use are no less revealing about people than songs attempting to represent real life situations, like "Somethin' Stupid," since they require an interested listener to see a new situation, a new point of view, a different way of living...
