EXTRA!

XX. 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
then a DJ wearing a blazer with a badge
ran on 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 off 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! Ooh.

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.

XXI. I'm Free

Tommy:
I'm free! I'm free!
And freedom taste of reality.
I'm free! I'm free!
I'm waiting for you to follow me.

If I told you what it takes
to reach the highest high,
You'd laugh and say 'nothing's that simple.'
But you've been told many times before,
Messiahs pointed to the door,
And no one had the guts to leave the temple!

I'm free! I'm free!
And freedom taste of reality
I'm free! I'm free!
And I'm waiting for you to follow me.

Chorus:
How can we follow?
How can we follow?

XXII. Welcome

Tommy:
Come to my house,
Be one of the comfortable people.
Lovely bright home,
We're drinking all night never sleeping.

Milkman come in!
And you baker.
Little old lady welcome,
And you shoe maker!

Come to this house!
Into this house!

Come to this house,
Be one of us.
Make this your house,
Be one of us.

You can help,
Collect some more in.
Young and old people,
Lets get them all in!

Come to this house!
Into this house!

Ask along that man who's wearing a carnation.
Bring every single person,
from Victoria Station.
Go into that hospital
and bring nurses and patients.
Everybody go home and fetch their relations!

Come to this house,
Be one of the comfortable people.
Lovely bright home,
Drinking all night never sleeping.

There's more at the door!
There's more at the door!
There's more at the door!
There's more at the door!
There's more at the door!
There's more at the door!
There's more at the door!
There's more!

We need more room,
Build an extension.
A colourful palace,
Spare no expense now.

Come to this house,
Be one of us.
Into this house,
Be one of us.

Come to this house!
Into this house!

Welcome!

XXIV. We're Not Gonna Take It

Tommy:
Welcome to the Camp,
I guess you all know why we're here.
My name is Tommy
and I became aware this year

If you want to follow me,
you've got to play pinball.
And put in your earplugs
put on your eyeshades
you know where to put the cork!

Hey you gettin' drunk,
So sorry, I've got you sussed.
Hey you smoking Mother Nature!
This is a bust!
Hey hung up old Mr. Normal,
Don't try to gain my trust!
'Cause you ain't gonna follow me
any of those ways
Although you think you must

Guests:
We're not gonna take it
We're not gonna take it
We're not gonna take it
We're not gonna take it

We're not gonna take it,
Never did and never will.
We don't have to take it.
Gonna break it!
Gonna shake it!
Let's forget it better still!

Tommy:
Now you can't hear me,
your ears are truly sealed.
You can't speak either,
your mouth is filled.
You can't see nothing,
and pinball completes the scene.
Here comes Uncle Ernie to guide you to
Your very own machine.

Guests:
We're not gonna take it
We're not gonna take it
We're not gonna take it
We're not gonna take it

We're not gonna take it
Never did and never will
Don't want no religion
And as far as we can tell
We ain't gonna take you
Never did and never will
We're not gonna take you!
We forsake you!
Gonna rape you!
Let's forget you better still!

We forsake you
Gonna rape you
Let's forget you... better still!

Tommy:
See me, feel me, touch me, heal me.
See me, feel me, touch me, heal me.
See me, feel me, touch me, heal me.
See me, feel me, touch me, heal me.

Listenin' to you, I get the music.
Gazing at you, I get the heat.
Following you, I climb the mountains.
I get excitement at your feet.

Right behind you, I see the millions.
On you, I see the glory.
From you, I get opinions.
From you, I get the story.

Listenin' to you, I get the music.
Gazing at you, I get the heat.
Following you, I climb the mountains.
I get excitement at your feet.

Right behind you, I see the millions.
On you, I see the glory.
From you, I get opinions.
From you, I get the story.

Listenin' to you, I get the music.
Gazing at you, I get the heat.
Following you, I climb the mountains.
I get excitement at your feet.

Right behind you, I see the millions.
On you, I see the glory.
From you, I get opinions.
From you, I get the story.
