Tommy movie - Sally Simpson lyrics

<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>
