“Glow Girl” was written in 1967 during a “horrible plane flight.”
It was first released on the Who’s 1974 B-sides and outtakes album Odds and Sods and later included on rereleases of The Who Sell Out.
The song is notable for its outro, which was eventually adapted for Tommy.
[Verse 1]
Separates and lingerie
Seven pairs of shoes
Lots of Woolworth's makeup
A pair of Black Watch trews
Your out-of-tune piano
Sentimental photographs
A million little memories
A million little laughs
[Bridge 1]
The wing on the aeroplane
Has just caught on fire
I say without reservation
We ain't getting no higher
[Verse 2]
All you wanted from me
All I had to give
Nothing matters, you'll see
When in paradise you live
[Bridge 2]
The plane is diving faster
We're getting near the ground
Nobody is screaming
No one makes a sound
[Chorus/Outro]
It's a girl, Mrs. Walker, it's a girl
It's a girl, Mrs. Walker, it's a girl
(Mrs. Walker, it's a girl)
It's a girl, Mrs. Walker, it's a girl
(Mrs. Walker, it's a girl)
It's a girl, Mrs. Walker, it's a girl
Glow Girl was written by Pete Townshend.
