Eric Clapton - Sally Simpson Lyrics

[Verse 1: Pete Townshend]
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 a-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

[Chorus: Pete Townshend]
She knew from the start, deep down in her heart
She and Tommy were worlds apart
But her mother said, "Never mind, your part
Is to be what you'll be"

[Verse 2: Pete Townshend]
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
Decided she'd try to touch him
Maybe he'd see that she was free
And talk to her this Sunday
[Chorus: Pete Townshend]
She knew from the start, deep down in her heart
She and Tommy were worlds apart
But her mother said, "Never mind, your part
Is to be what you'll be"

[Verse 3: Pete Townshend]
She arrived at six and the place was swingin'
To gospel music by nine
Group after group appeared on the stage
And Sally just sat there cryin'
She bit her nails, looking pretty as a picture
Right in the very front row
And then one of the faithful came on stage
And shouted, "Here we go!"

[Bridge: Pete Townshend]
The crowd went crazy
As Tommy hit the stage
Little Sally got lost as the police bossed
The crowd back in a rage

[Verse 4: Roger Daltrey]
Your happy welcome is like a favour
I must now return
The darkness of my childhood passed
And flames of blood now burn
The pinball game I play so well
Reflects a way of life
This meeting is just another game
Let's play to win tonight
[Chorus: Pete Townshend]
She knew from the start, deep down in her heart
She and Tommy were worlds apart
But her mother said, "Never mind, your part
Is to be what you'll be"

[Verse 5: Pete Townshend, Roger Daltrey]
Her cheek hit a chair and blood trickled down
Mingling with her tears
Try to walk the path I walked
Never mind the pain and fear
Each one of you has freedom
In your heart, without my grace
Let me see you raise your hands
See joy upon your face

[Bridge: Pete Townshend]
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
Her pretty face!

[Verse 6: Pete Townshend]
Sixteen stitches put her right and her Dad said
"Don't say I didn't warn ya"
Sally got married to a rock musician
Who came from 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
[Chorus: Pete Townshend]
She knew from the start, deep down in her heart
She and Tommy were worlds apart
But her mother said, "Never mind, your part
Is to be what you'll be"
