The Who - Sally Simpson
BackThe Who - Sally Simpson "Sally Simpson" - One of Tommy's "disciples", Sally is a reverend's daughter who sneaks out of her home to attend one of Tommy's sermons. She ultimately attempts to touch him, only to be thrown from the stage by security and receives a gash on her face. Lyrics: Outside the houes, Mr. Simpson announced That Sally couldn't go to the meeting He went on cleaning his Rule Rolls Royce And she ran inside weeping She got to her room and tears splashed the picture Of the new mesiah She picked up a book of her father's life And threw it one the fire Chorus: 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 sneek out anyway She spent all afternoon getting ready And decided she'd try to touch him Then maybe he'd see that she was free And talk to her this Sunday Chorus 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 Then a DJ wearing a blazer with a badge Came 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 Soon the atmosphere was cooler And Tommy gave a lesson Sally just had to let him know she loved him And lept up on the rostrum She across stage to the spotlit figure And brushed him on the face Tommy whirled round as a uniformed man Threw her off the stage Chorus Her cheek hit a chair, and blood trickled down Mingling with her tears Tommy carried on preaching And his voice filled Sally's ears She caught his eye, she had to try But he couldn't see through the lights Her face was gashed and the ambulance men Had to carry her out that night The croud went crazy As Tommy left the stage Little Sally was lost for the price of a touch And a gash across her face, oo 16 stitches put her right and her Dad said "Don't say I didn't warn ya!" Sally got married to a rock musician She met in California Tommy always talks about the day The dicsiples all went wild Sally still carries a scar on her cheek To remind her of his smile Chorus
