Tommy movie - Sally Simpson lyrics
rate me<br>
[NARRATOR]<br>
<br>
Outside the house Mr. Simpson announced<br>
That Sally couldn't go to the meeting.<br>
He went on cleaning his black Rolls Royce<br>
And she ran inside weeping.<br>
She got to her room and tears splashed the picture<br>
Of the new Messiah.<br>
She picked up a book of her father's life<br>
And threw it on the fire!<br>
She knew from the start<br>
Deep down in her heart<br>
That she and Tommy were worlds apart,<br>
But her mother said, "Never mind, your part...<br>
Is to be what you'll be."<br>
The theme of the sermon was come unto me,<br>
Love will find a way,<br>
So Sally decided to ignore her dad,<br>
And sneak out anyway!<br>
She spent all afternoon getting ready,<br>
Decided she'd try to touch him,<br>
Maybe he'd see that she was free<br>
And talk to her this Sunday.<br>
She knew from the start<br>
Deep down in her heart<br>
That she and Tommy were worlds apart,<br>
But her mother said, "Never mind, your part...<br>
Is to be what you'll be."<br>
She arrived at six and the place was swinging<br>
To gospel music by nine.<br>
Group after group appeared on the stage<br>
And Sally just sat there crying.<br>
She bit her nails looking pretty as a picture<br>
Right in the very front row<br>
And then one of the people came on stage<br>
And shouted, "Here we go!"<br>
The crowd went crazy as Tommy hit the stage!<br>
Little Sally got lost as the police bossed<br>
The crowd back in a rage!<br>
<br>
[TOMMY]<br>
<br>
Your happy welcome is like a favor<br>
I must now return.<br>
The darkness of my childhood past<br>
And flames of blood now burn.<br>
The pinball game I play so well<br>
Reflects a way of life.<br>
This meeting is just another game;<br>
Let's play to win, tonight!<br>
<br>
[NARRATOR]<br>
<br>
She knew from the start<br>
Deep down in her heart<br>
That she and Tommy were worlds apart,<br>
But her mother said, "Never mind, your part...<br>
Is to be what you'll be."<br>
Her cheek hit a chair and blood trickled down,<br>
Mingling with her tears.<br>
<br>
[TOMMY]<br>
<br>
Try to walk the path I walked,<br>
Never mind the pain and fear.<br>
Each one of you has freedom<br>
In your heart without my grace.<br>
Let me see you raise your hands<br>
See joy upon your face!<br>
<br>
[NARRATOR]<br>
<br>
The crowd went crazy<br>
As Tommy left the stage!<br>
Little Sally was lost for the price of a touch<br>
And a gash across her face, her pretty face! Ooooh.<br>
Sixteen stitches put her right and her Dad said,<br>
"Don't say I didn't warn yer."<br>
Sally got married to a rock musician<br>
She met in California.<br>
Tommy always talks about the day<br>
The disciples all went wild!<br>
Sally still carries a scar on her cheek<br>
To remind her of his smile.<br>
She knew from the start<br>
Deep down in her heart<br>
That she and Tommy were worlds apart,<br>
But her mother said, "Never mind, your part...<br>
Is to be what you'll be."<br>
