Sally Simpson lyrics

Artist  : Who 
Song : Sally Simpson
 
----- ------- Outside the house Mr. Simpson
announced that Sally couldn't go to the meeting.
He went on cleaning his blue 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 fathers 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, 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 as Tommy gave a lesson.
Sally just had to let him know she loved him and
leapt 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! OOoooh.
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.
