Athena Lyrics
Artist(Band):The Who
Review The Song (7)Print the Lyrics
Athena, I had no idea how much I'd need her
In peaceful times I hold her close and I feed her
My heart starts palpitating when I think my guess was wrong
But I think I'll get along
She's just a girl - she's a bomb
She's just a girl - she's a bomb

Athena, all I ever want to do is please her
My life has been so settled and she's the reason
Just one word from her and my troubles are long gone
But I think I'll get along
She's just a girl - she's a bomb
She's just a girl - she's a bomb

Just a girl just a girl
Just a girl just a girl
Just a girl just a girl
She's just a girl

Athena, my heart felt like a shattered glass in an acid bath
It felt like one of those flattened ants you find on a crazy path
I'd have topped myself to give her time she didn't need to ask
Was I a suicidal psychopath?
She's just a girl - she's a bomb
She's just a girl - she's a bomb

Consumed, there was a beautiful white horse I saw on a dream stage
He had a snake the size of a sewer pipe living in his rib cage
I felt like a pickled priest who was being flambed
You got me requisitioned blondie
She's just a girl - she's a bomb
She's just a girl - she's a bomb

I'm happy, I'm ecstatic
Just a girl just a girl
Just a girl just a girl
Just a girl just a girl
She's just a girl

Look into the face of a child
Measure how long you smiled
Before the memory claimed
How long would children remain
How long could children remain

Athena, you picked me up by my lapels and screamed "leave her"
I felt like waking up in heaven on an empty meter
And now you're stuck with a castrated leader
And I hate the creep, I didn't mean that
She's a bomb
I just said it
She's a bomb
I didn't mean
She's a bomb

Athena, I had no idea how much I need her
My life has been so settled and she's the reason
Just one word from her and my troubles are long gone
Ooh, but I get along
She's just a girl, she's a bomb
She's just a girl, she's a bomb

Review about Athena

Alice Cooper Was Right | Reviewer: Leo Strauss | 10/4/2007
    Have the demo "Theresa" and it all makes much more sense in his frustration of a failed romance with her -- and the beats are better. This should have been produced by Chris Thomas for one of Pete's solo albums.

    When Pete introduced Pink Floyd for some Brit honors show on VH1 a couple of months ago he also referred to this failed romance with Theresa.



    Great song for singing in the shower | Reviewer: Leip | 9/8/2007

    I love this tune...been listening to it in the shower for years and I really have the lyrics and syllables down pat.



    response to theresa | Reviewer: Anonymous | 8/8/2007

    Well of course it's true, everything Alice Cooper says is 100% true fact. Also, I love this song.



    um... is it just me, or is everyone crazy? | Reviewer: Bob | 7/24/2007

    This is one of the WORST Who songs ever. I don't know what people are saying about poetic twisty syllables. But it's cheesy, and meaningless, and incredibly superficial. To me it betrays a lack of emotion, as opposed to a depth of it. I was surprised Pete even wrote that - figured maybe it was Roger Daltry trying his hand at lyric writing.



    Athena = Theresa? | Reviewer: Theresa | 4/9/2007

    I was listening to the Alice Cooper radio show tonight on my way home from work. AC said Pete wrote this song for Theresa Russell and that it was called Theresa, because Pete was smitten with her. AC said Pete changed the name because Theresa was not interested in Pete.
    I don't know if this is true, but thought i would pass it along.



    best of the Who | Reviewer: Anonymous | 3/10/2007

    Athena is the best song the Who ever did! Great lyrics and music - just a fun fun song.



    Pete's Poetry | Reviewer: mimo parkins | 2/18/2007

    Athena, is in my judgement, a greatly underappreciated song. Even though it had some commercial success, most Who fans wrote it off as nothing more than a silly love song. In fact it is some of Townsend's most poetic lyrics with great rhymes and twisty sylables. Listen again Who fans and you might find new appreciation for this great song.
