I know you've deceived me, now here's a surprise
I know that you have 'cause there's magic in my eyes
I can see for miles and miles and miles and miles and miles
Oh yeah
If you think that I don't know about the little tricks you've played
And never see you when deliberately you put things in my way
Well, here's a poke at you
You're gonna choke on it too
You're gonna lose that smile
Because all the while
I can see for miles and miles
I can see for miles and miles
I can see for miles and miles and miles and miles and miles
Oh yeah
You took advantage of my trust in you when I was so far away
I saw you holding lots of other guys and now you've got the nerve to say
That you still want me
Well that's as may be
But you gotta stand trial
Because all the while
I can see for miles and miles

Oh yeah
The Eiffel Tower and the Taj Mahal are mine to see on clear days
You thought that I would need a crystal ball to see right through the haze
Well here's a poke at you
You're gonna choke on it too
You're gonna lose that smile

Same. I think this was the first 45 I ever bought. Love it! Played on CHOM-fm Montreal all the time
I bought the 45 when it first came out. I was 12yrs old . They were playing it on the radio a lot, ...WMCA 570 AM NYC (the Good Guys).

When I was a kid my dad told me about a band called the who that was so wild and loud and would destroy their equipment on stage. It made a huge impression on me but decades later, whilst I understand that the Who are probably historically important, I still find their music pretty pop-ish and uninteresting compared to some other bands from that era.
Never get tired of hearing The Who
Hard to believe this was the only hit from this amazing album.

Yeah, that's a tricky question, but maybe that's just how it seems. Most music in the 1960s - or any era - was formulaic, or at least some sort of interpretation of music of the past. It is difficult to find something where one can say "this is (completely) different" - but I guess there are always examples one could find with hindsight. If something were too "different" most people would probably dislike it anyhow.
Not exactly. There were tons of songs that were shockingly different at the time; however, the bandwagons that latched onto them trying to copy their success grew fast and large. It's basically the reason Dylan went electric, but that's just the tip of iceberg. Tons of psychedelic stuff that seem to rise out of nowhere. Hendrix blew minds constantly. Then there was Lou Reed and the Velvet Underground, the MC5, the New York Dolls, and so much more. The 70s were overrun with big swaths of categorized music and corporate overloads, until of course punk ripped it a new asshole. The 80s had so much innovative music if you knew where to look and a lot of it intentionally shocking. The problem you're seeing is that there hasn't been any significant musical rebellion in this new century.

My mate, Pete Townsend, spent his life denying he could get tickets to the Who gigs.

Their best album? At least their best album cover.
Love this!
This is very mod...I liked it when they were very mod.
I cannot count the number of times I have heard people — many of them were also DJs — say, "I can recall exactly what I was doing, where I was, and who I was with when THIS first came on," and wow, it can still make me reach to crank the volume, all the way up, after all this time. An astounding and immortal jam...
Must upgrade to 10.
Showing my age - Remember seeing this on a BBC comedy/satirical show in 1967. It was certainly different then!

One of the best from The Who...the album is overlooked by many and "I Can See For Miles" was the only single from this entire gem. Love the song 'Tattoo' and 'Odorono'...actually love everything from this. Never again will any band create such a huge collection of great tunes. One of the first idealistic concept rock albums.
The national anthem of the United States of Acid! Pete never sounded better, and Mooney- off the hook...

One of the best by the Who, and they have so many great songs.

IMHO...The Best Song of 1967 and that's saying something
Supposedly Roger Daltrey's favorite single of those the group released.

I heard this second hand from a guy who was supposedly in the room, if anybody can confirm or debunk, please do:
You know how Wagner's Ride of the Valkyries is blasting from the helicopter gunships as they approach their target in the movie Apocalypse Now? According to my guy, Coppola based the idea for the approach music from tales of Vietnam helicopter pilots blasting I Can See For Miles on battle approach, which came to be known as the gunner's song. Pretty chilling, if you put the lyrics in that context.

You've got that right! I still hold up "Who's Next" as their best. I suppose that's because the album was my introduction to the band.
But their early singles were unbelievable. Punker friends of mine used to spin "My Generation", "Substitute", "Magic Bus" and others on the same mixed tapes as The Clash and The Sex Pistols!
These guys have definitely made their presence known from day one. Their appearance on "The Smothers Brothers" is one for the books, BTW. 
Some forget that the Who did a lot of good stuff before Tommy and Who's Next. Their earlier stuff had more of a rawness.

I saw you holding lots of other guys, and now you've got the nerve to say
That you still want me
Well, that's as may be
But you gotta stand trial

I actually have some stills of that in my screen saver, along with Sharon Stone in Basic Instinct, Jamie Lee Curtis in True Lies ... the scenes that are etched on yer brain if you possess a Y chromosome.

Love love love this song, but my god, is that cover REPULSIVE. I've always thought so.

Oh, and let us not overlook what is probably the only one-note guitar solo in the history of rock 'n roll

This song just grabs you by the throat and demands your attention from that first chord that Pete and Entwistle throw at you and then bombard you with Keith's wave of percussion. Total bliss!

The parodies of radio-style ads between the tracks of this album deserve air time of their own. Wonderful Radio London!
