If you're not familiar with Quadrophenia, it's all about Jimmy and his mixed-up life. He feels pulled in four different directions -- the liner notes (http://www.thewho.net/articles/townshen/quad_ln.htm ) finish his story with "Schizophrenic? I'm Bleeding Quadrophenic!"
--------------------
I went back to the doctor
to get another shrink
I sit and tell him 'bout my weekends
but he never betrays what he thinks
Can you see the real me, doctor? doctor?
I went back to my mother
I said "I'm crazy, ma, help me!"
She said, "I know how it feels, son,
Coz it runs in the family."
Can you see the real me mother? mother?
The cracks between the paving stones
look like rivers of flowing veins.
Strange people who know me
peep from behind every window pane.
The girl I used to love
lives in this yellow house.
Yesterday she passed me by
she doesn't want to know me now
Can you see the real me, can you? can you?
I ended up with a preacher
full of lies and hate
I seemed to scare him a little
so he showed me to the Golden Gate
Can you see the real me preacher? preacher?
Can you see the real me doctor?
Can you see the real me mother?
Can you see the real me?
