Sally Simpson

de The Who

Outside the house, Mr. Simpson announced that Sally couldn't go to the meeting
He went on cleaning his black Rolls Royce and she ran inside weeping
She got to her room and tears splashed the picture of the new Messiah
She picked up a book of her father's life and threw it on the fire

She knew from the start, deep down in her heart
That she and Tommy were worlds apart
But her mother said never mind your part is to be
What you'll be

The theme of the sermon was come unto me and love will find a way
So Sally decided to ignore her dad, and sneak out anyway
She spent all afternoon getting ready, and decided she'd try to touch him
Maybe he'd see that she was free and talk to her this Sunday

She knew from the start, deep down in her heart
That she and Tommy were worlds apart
But her mother said never mind your part is to be
What you'll be

She arrived at six and the place was swinging to gospel music by nine
Group after group appeared on the stage and Sally just sat there crying
She bit her nails looking pretty as a picture right in the very front row
And then a DJ wearing a blazer with a badge ran on and said: Here we go

The crowd went crazy
As Tommy hit the stage
Little Sally got lost as the police bossed
The crowd back in a rage

But soon the atmosphere was cooler and Tommy gave a lesson
Sally just had to let him know she loved him and leap up on the rostrum
She ran cross stage to the spotlit figure and touched him on the face
Tommy whirled around as a uniformed man threw her of the stage

She knew from the start, deep down in her heart
That she and Tommy were worlds apart
But her mother said never mind your part is to be
What you'll be

Her cheek hit a chair and blood trickled down mingling with her tears
Tommy carried on preaching and his voice filled Sally's ear
She caught his eye, she had to try, but couldn't see through the lights
Her face was gashed and the ambulance men had to carry her out that night

The crowd went crazy
As Tommy left the stage
Little Sally was lost for the price of a touch
And a gash across her face

Sixteen stitches put her right and her Dad said: Don't say I didn't warn yer
Sally got married to a rock musician, she met in California
Tommy always talks about the day the disciples all went wild
Sally still carries a scar on her cheek to remind her of his smile

She knew from the start, deep down in her heart
That she and Tommy were worlds apart
But her mother said never mind your part is to be
What you'll be
