rate me

Written by pete townshend<br>Released as a uk single in 1976<br>Available on the soudtrack tommy<br><br>Ever since I was a young boy I played the silver ball<br>From soho down to brighton I must have played them all<br>But I ain't seen nothing like him in any amusement hall<br>That deaf, dumb and blind kid sure plays a mean pinball<br><br>He stands like a statue, becomes part of the machine<br>Feeling all the bumpers, always playing clean<br>Plays by intuition, the digit counters fall<br>That deaf, dumb and blind kid sure plays a mean pinball<br><br>He's a pinball wizard, there has to be a twist<br>A pinball wizard's got such a supple wrist<br>How do you think he does it I don't know<br>What makes him so good<br><br>Ain't got no distractions, can't hear no buzzes or bells<br>Don't see lights a-flashing, plays by sense of smell<br>Always gets a replay, never seen him fall<br>That deaf, dumb and blind kid sure plays a mean pinball<br><br>I thought I was the bally table king<br>But I just handed my pinball crown to him<br><br>Even on my favourite table, he can beat my best<br>His disciples lean him in and he just does the rest<br>He's got crazy flipper fingers, never seen him fall<br>That deaf, dumb and blind kid sure plays a mean pinball
