One of The Who's greatest early tracks.
I've never understood why this wasn't released as a single.

The original studio version of Sparks is a relatively subdued track.
When they played the number live it always just took off. Always a highlight of any set.
This is from Woodstock, but so many incredible live versions are available.

I wasn't really a fan but this was their best song. I liked its frenetic energy and remember singing it under my breath at the end of one of my A Levels shortly after it came out.

Is it worth it?
A new winters coat and shoes for the wife
And a bicycle on the boy's birthday
It's just a rumour that was spread around town
By the women and children, soon we'll be shipbuilding

Well, I asked her
The boy said 'Dad, they're going to take me to task
But I'll be back by Christmas'
It's just a rumour that was spread around town
Somebody said that someone got filled in
For saying that people get killed in
The results of their shipbuilding

With all the will in the world
Diving for dear lives
When we could be diving for pearls

It's just a rumour that was spread around town
A telegram or a picture postcard
Within weeks we'll be reopening the shipyard
A notefying the next of kin once again
Oh, it's all we're skilled in
We will be shipbuilding

With all the will in the world
Diving for dear lives
When we could be diving for pearls

Poll: To make him more acceptable what should Gary O'Neill change his middle name to ?

I have a particular attachment to this song because my father's parents and three of his sibling were born in Leith, and my mother went to the same secondary school as the Proclaimers, although many years before.
