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. |
