Fiddle About

Uncle Ernie:

I'm your wicked Uncle Ernie I'm glad you won't see or hear me As I fiddle about Fiddle about Fiddle about !

Your mother left me here to mind you Now I'm doing what I want to Fiddling about Fiddling about Fiddle about!

Down with the bedclothes Up with the nightshirt! Fiddle about Fiddle about Fiddle about !

You won't shout as I fiddle about Fiddle about Fiddle about Fiddle about ! Fiddle, fiddle, fiddle.

Pinball Wizard

Local Lad:

Ever since I was a young boy, I've played the silver ball. ]From Soho down to Brighton I must have played them all. But I ain't seen nothing like him In any amusement hall... That deaf dumb and blind kid Sure plays a mean pin ball !

He stands like a statue, Becomes part of the machine. Feeling all the bumpers Always playing clean. He plays by intuition, The digit counters fall. That deaf dumb and blind kid Sure plays a mean pin ball !

He's a pin ball wizard There has got to be a twist. A pin ball wizard, S'got such a supple wrist.

'How do you think he does it? I don't know! What makes him so good?'

He ain't got no distractions Can't hear those buzzers and bells, Don't see lights a flashin' Plays by sense of smell. Always has a replay, 'n' never tilts at all... That deaf dumb and blind kid Sure plays a mean pin ball.

I thought I was The Bally table king. But I just handed My pin ball crown to him.

Even my usual table He can beat my best. His disciples lead him in And he just does the rest. He's got crazy flipper fingers Never seen him fall... That deaf dumb and blind kind Sure plays a mean pin ball.!!!!!

There's a Doctor I've Found

Father:

There's a doctor I've found Could bring us all joy! There's a doctor I've found could cure the boy! There's a doctor I've found could cure the boy!

There's a man I've found could remove his sorrow, He lives in this town let's see him tomorrow, He lives in this town let's see him tomorrow!

Go to the Mirror Boy

Doctor:

He seems to be completely unreceptive. The tests I gave him show no sense at all. His eyes react to light the dials detect it. He hears but cannot answer to your call.

Tommy:

See me, feel me, touch me, heal me. See me, feel me, touch me, heal me.

Doctor:

There is no chance no untried operation. All hope lies with him and none with me. Imagine though the shock from isolation. When he suddenly can hear and speak and see.

Tommy:

See me, feel me, touch me, heal me. See me, feel me, touch me, heal me.

Doctor:

His eyes can hear his ears can see his lips speak All the time the needles flick and rock. No machine can give the kind of stimulation, Needed to remove his inner block.

Go to the mirror boy! Go to the mirror boy!

Father:

I often wonder what he's feeling. Has he ever heard a word I've said? Look at him now in the mirror dreaming What is happening in his head?

Tommy:

Listening to you I get the music. Gazing at you I get the heat Following you I climb the mountain I get excitement at your feet!

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

Father:

What is happening in his head Ooooh I wish I knew, I wish I knew.

Tommy Can You Hear Me

Tommy can you hear me? Can you feel me near you?

Mother:

Tommy can you feel me? Can I help to cheer you.

Smash the Mirror

Mother:

You don't answer my call With even a nod or a twitch But you gaze at your own reflection! You don't seem to see me But I think you can see yourself. How can the mirror affect you?

Can you hear me Or do I surmise? That you fear me can you feel my temper RISE.

Do you hear or fear or Do I smash the mirror. Do you hear of fear or Do I smash the mirror? SMASH!

Sensation

Tommy:

I overwhelm as I approach you Make your lungs hold breath inside! Lovers break caresses for me Love enhanced when I've gone by.

You'll feel me coming, A new vibration ]From afar you'll see me I'm a sensation.

They worship me and all I touch Hazy eyed they catch my glance, Pleasant shudders shake their senses My warm momentum throws their stance.

You'll feel me coming A new vibration ]From afar you'll see me I'm a sensation.

I leave a trail of rooted people Mesmerised by just the sight, The few I touch are now disciples Love as One I Am the Light...

Soon you'll see me can't you feel me I'm coming... Send your troubles dancing he knows the answer I'm coming... I'm a sensation.

Newsboy:

Extra! Extra! Read all about it. Pin Ball Wizard in a miracle cure! Extra Extra read all about it EXTRA!

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.

I'm Free

Tommy:

I'M FREE-I'm free, And freedom tastes of reality, I'm free-I'm free, AN' 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 tastes 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?
