Bargain
by The Who
Album: Who's Next

I'd gladly lose me to find you
I'd gladly give up all I had
To find you I'd suffer anything and be glad

I'd pay any price just to get you
I'd work all my life and I will
To win you I'd stand naked, stoned and stabbed

I'd call that a bargain
The best I ever had
The best I ever had

I'd gladly lose me to find you
I'd gladly give up all I got
To catch you I'm gonna run and never stop

I'd pay any price just to win you
Surrender my good life for bad
To find you I'm gonna drown an unsung man

I'd call that a bargain
The best I ever had
The best I ever had

I sit looking 'round
I look at my face in the the mirror
I know I'm worth nothing without you
In life one and one don't make two
One and one make one
And I'm looking for that free ride to me
I'm looking for you

I'd gladly lose me to find you
I'd gladly give up all I got
To catch you I'm gonna run and never stop

I'd pay any price just to win you
Surrender my good life for bad
To find you I'm gonna drown an unsung man

I'd call that a bargain
The best I ever had
The best I ever had

Of course, who wouldn't?

No Way! Enlightenment is over-rated. I like my stuff!

Pete Townshend Quote on 'Bargain'

"This song is simply about 'losing' one's ego as a devotee of Meher Baba. I constantly try to lose myself, and find him. I'm not very successful I'm afraid, but this song expresses how much of a bargain it would be to lose everything in order to be one with God."

Become Spiritually enlightened like Pete Townshend 

The Who's Bargain has a deep meaning..

ALBUM REVIEW: The Who - Tommy: The Rock Opera
The end result is his own spiritual enlightenment. In today's entertainment culture this plot may not sound all that risqué, but when it was released in 1969 there were many who felt that the entire scenario was far too relentlessly ...
What? Music-related content? Shocking! Only... not so much.
Oh, and I like that it's a song about spiritual enlightenment and such. This gives it something in common with #11, only with way less disco. Sendspace: To find you I'd suffer anything and be glad. ...
Preparations Before Leaving For Hajj
Therefore, it makes sense to be as ready as possible for this momentous journey of self-discovery, self-appraisal, and spiritual enlightenment. Arrangements must be started early enough so that you are not rushed for time in the few ...

These Who Albums are certainly a Bargain
