Tommy By The Who

I. Overture

Captain Walker
Didn't come home
His unborn child,
Will never know him
Believe him missing
With a number of men
Don't expect
To see him again.

II. It's a Boy

Nurse:
It's a boy Mrs. Walker it's a boy.
It's a boy Mrs. Walker it's a boy.

A son! A son! A son!

III. You Didn't Hear It (1921)

Lover:
I've got a feeling twentyone
Is going to be a good year.
Especially if you and me
See it in together.

Father:
So you think twentyone
is going to be a good year.
It could be for me and her,
But you and her, no never!
I had no reason to be over optimistic,
But somehow when you smiled
I could brave bad weather

Mother:
What about the boy?
What about the boy?
What about the boy?
He saw it all!

Mother and Father:
You didn't hear it
You didn't see it.
You won't say nothing to no one
ever in your life.
You never heard it
Oh how absurd it
All seems without any proof.
You didn't hear it
You didn't see it
You never heard it not a word of it.
You won't say nothing to no one
Never tell a soul
What you know is the truth.

I've got a feeling twentyone
Is going to be a good year.
Especially if you and me
See it in together.
So you think twentyone
is going to be a good year.
It could be for me and her,
But you and her, no never!
I had no reason to be over optimistic,
But somehow when you smiled
I could brave bad weather

What about the boy!

IV. Amazing Journey

Deaf dumb and blind boy
He's in a quiet vibration land
Strange as it seems his musical dreams
Ain't quite so bad.

Ten years old
With thoughts as bold as thoughts can be
Loving life and becoming wise
In simplicity.

Sickness will surely take the mind
Where minds can't usually go.
Come on the amazing journey
And learn all you should know.

A vague haze of delerium
creeps up on me.
All at once a tall stranger I suddenly see.
He's dressed in a silver sparked
Glittering gown
And his golden beard flows
Nearly down to the ground.

Nothing to say and nothing to hear
And nothing to see.
Each sensation makes a note in my symphony.

Sickness will surely take the mind
Where minds can't usually go.
Come on the amazing journey
And learn all you should know.

His eyes are the eyes that
Transmit all they know.
Sparkle warm crystalline glances to show
That he is your leader
And he is your guide
On the amazing journey together you'll ride.

V. Sparks [Instrumental]

VI. Eyesight To The Blind (The Hawker)

The Hawker:
You talk about your woman
I wish you could see mine,
You talk about your woman
I wish you could see mine,
Every time she starts to lovin'
She brings eyesight to the blind.

You know her daddy gave her magic
I can tell by the way she walks.
Her daddy gave her magic
I can tell by the way she walks.
Everytime she starts to shakin'
The dumb begin to talk.

She's got the power to heal you never fear
She's got the power to heal you never fear
Just a word from her lips
And the deaf begin to hear.
