I've got a feeling twenty one Is going to be a good year. Especially if you and me See it in together. So you think 21 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 weatherWhat about the boy? What about the boy? What about the boy? He saw it all! 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. |

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 thought 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. |

Did you ever see the faces of children They get so excited. Waking up on christmas morning Hours before the winter 1's ignited. They believe in dreams and all they mean Including heavens generosity. Peeping round the door to see what parcels are for free In curiosity. And Tommy doesn't know what day it is. Doesn't know who Jesus was or what praying is. How can he be saved? From the eternal grave. Surrounded by his friends he sits so silently, And unaware of everything. Playing poxy pin ball picks his nose and smiles and Pokes his tongue at everything. I believe in love but how can men who've never seen Light be enlightened. Only if he's cured will his spirits future level ever heighten. And Tommy doesn't know what day it is. Doesn't know who Jesus was or what praying is. How can he be saved? >From the eternal grave. Tommy can you hear me? Tommy can you hear me? Tommy can you hear me? How can he be saved? [Tommy:] See me, feel me Touch me, heal me. See me, feel me Touch me, heal me! Tommy can you hear me? Tommy can you hear me? Tommy can you hear me? How can he be saved? |

Were on our own cousin, all alone cousin. Let's think of a game to play Now the grownups have all gone away. You won't be much fun being blind deaf and dumb But I've no one to play with today. D'you know how to play hide and seek? To find me it would take you a week, But tied to that chair you won't go anywhere There's a lot I can do to a freak. How would you feel if I turned on the bath, Ducked your head under and started to laugh. What would you do if I shut you outside, To stand in the rain and catch cold so you died? I'm the school bully ! The classroom cheat. The nastiest playfriend, You ever could meet. I'll stick pins in your fingers And tread on your feet... Maybe a cigarette burn on your arm Would change your expression to one of alarm, I'll drag you around by a lock of your hair Or give you a push at the top of the stairs... I'm the school bully ! The classroom cheat. The nastiest playfriend, You ever could meet. I'll put glass in your dinner And spikes in your seat... |

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.!!!!! |

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. |

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! |

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. See me, feel me, touch me, heal me. See me, feel me, touch me, heal me. 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. See me, feel me, touch me, heal me. See me, feel me, touch me, heal me. His eyes can see His ears can hear 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! 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? 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. What is happening in his head Ooooh I wish I knew, I wish I knew ------------- Lyrics Powered by LyricFind Written By PETER TOWNSHEND <i>Lyrics © Universal Music Publishing Group</i> |

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! |

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? |

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 the book of her father's 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 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 ears. She caught his eye, she had to try, But couldn't see through ther 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. OOooooh. Sixteen stiches 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 diciples 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 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. |

Why should I care?
Why should I care? Girls of fifteen Sexually knowing The ushers are sniffing Eau-de-cologning The seats are seductive Celibate sitting Pretty girls digging Prettier women Magically bored On a quiet street corner Free frustration In our minds and our toes Quiet stormwater M-m-my generation Uppers and downers Either way, blood flows Inside outside Leave me alone Inside outside Nowhere is home Inside outside Where have I been? Out of my brain On the five fifteen! Out of my brain on the train Out of my brain On the train On a raft in the quarry Slowly sinking On the back of a lorry Holy hitching Dreadfully sorry Apple scrumping Born in the war Birthday punching He-man drag In the glittering ballroom Gravely outrageous In my high heel shoes Tightly undone Know what they're showing Sadly ecstatic That their heroes are news Inside outside Leave me alone Inside outside Nowhere is home Inside outside Where have I been? Out of my brain On the five fifteen! Out of my brain on the train Out of my brain on the train on the train Woah I'm out of my brain Out of my brain on the train Here it comes Woo, out of my brain On the train on the train Out of my brain on the train Why should I care? Why should I care? |

Only love
Can make it rain The way the beach Is kissed by the sea Only love Can make it rain Like the sweat of lovers Layin' in the fields Love Reign o'er me Love Reign o'er me Rain on me Rain on me Only love Can bring the rain That makes you yearn To the sky Only love Can bring the rain That falls like tears From all high Love Reign o'er me Rain on me Rain on me Love Reign o'er me Rain on me Rain on me On the dry and dusty road The nights we spent apart alone I need to get back home To cool cool rain I can't sleep and I lay and I think The night is hot and black as ink Woo Oh God I need a drink Of cool cool rain Love Reign o'er me Rain over me Over me Over me Love Reign o'er me On me Love ... |

Wide awake in the middle of the night
I wonder how she's feelin' Is it just a trick of the light Or is her ceiling peeling? She's sitting up in bed, shakin' her head At a copy of "True Confessions" Ooh, it must seem like a fairy tale To a woman of her profession But was I all right? (was I all right?) Did I take you to the height of ecstasy? Was I all right? (was I all right?) Did a shadow of emotion cross your face Or was it just another trick of the light? But was I all right? (was I all right?) Did I take you to the height of ecstasy? Was I all right? (was I all right?) Did a shadow of emotion cross your face Or was it just another trick of the light? Come on, tell me What's a nice girl like you doin' in a place like this? They don't make girls like you no more And I'd like to get to know you On closer terms than this But I guess you've heard it all before Lady of the night Won't you steal away with me? Lady of the night Won't you steal away with me? The money's lyin' on the floor, she looks at me Shakes her head and sighs Out of time, out the door Red light shinin' in my eyes But was I all right? (was I all right?) Did I take you to the height of ecstasy? Was I all right? (was I all right?) Did a shadow of emotion cross your face All right? But was I all right? All right? |

Hear the drummer drumming Won't you join together with the band We don't move in any 'ticular direction And we don't make no collections Won't you join together with the band.

Everybody join together Won't you join together Come on and join together with the band We need to join together Won't you join together Come on and join together with the band. You don't have to play You can follow or lead the way Won't you join together with the band We don't know where we're going But the season's right for knowing Won't you join together with the band. It's the singer not the song That makes the music move along Won't you join together with the band This is the biggest band you'll find It's as deep as it is wide Won't you join together with the band.

I call you on the telephone my voice too rough with cigarettes. I sometimes thing I should just go home but I'm dealing with a memory that never forgets I love to hear you say my name especially when you say yes I got your body right now on my mind and I drunk myself b-lind to the sound of old T-Rex To the sound of old T-Rex - who's next? [Chorus:] When I say I love you you say you better You better you better you bet When I say I need you you say you better You better you better you bet You better bet your life Or love will cut you like a knife I want those feeble minded axes overthrown I'm not into your passport picture I just like your nose You welcome me with open arms and open legs I know only fools have needs but this one never begs I don't really mind how much you love me A little is really alright When you say come over and spend the night Tonight [Chorus: (as above)] I lay on the bed with you We could make some book of records Your dog keeps licking my nose And chewing up all those letters Saying "you better" You better bet your life You better love me, all the time now You better shove me back into line now You better love me, all the time now You better shove me back into line now. I showed up late one night with a neon light for a visa But knowing I'm so eager to fight can't make letting me in any easier I know tha~t I been wearing crazy clothes and I look pretty crappy Sometime But my body feels so good and I still sing a razor line everytime. And when it comes to all night living I know what I'm giving I've got it all down to a t |

No one knows what it's like
To be the bad man To be the sad man Behind blue eyes No one knows what it's like To be hated To be fated To telling only lies But my dreams They aren't as empty As my conscience seems to be I have hours, only lonely My love is vengeance That's never free No one knows what it's like To feel these feelings Like I do And I blame you No one bites back as hard On their anger None of my pain and woe Can show through But my dreams They aren't as empty As my conscience seems to be I have hours, only lonely My love is vengeance That's never free When my fist clenches, crack it open Before I use it and lose my cool When I smile, tell me some bad news Before I laugh and act like a fool And if I swallow anything evil Put your finger down my throat And if I shiver, please give me a blanket Keep me warm, let me wear your coat No one knows what it's like To be the bad man To be the sad man Behind blue eyes |

We'll be fighting in the streets With our children at our feet And the morals that they worship will be gone And the men who spurred us on Sit in judgement of all wrong They decide and the shotgun sings the song I'll tip my hat to the new constitution Take a bow for the new revolution Smile and grin at the change all around Pick up my guitar and play Just like yesterday Then I'll get on my knees and pray We don't get fooled again The change, it had to come We knew it all along We were liberated from the foe, that's all And the world looks just the same And history ain't changed 'Cause the banners, they'd all flown in the last war I'll tip my hat to the new constitution Take a bow for the new revolution Smile and grin at the change all around Pick up my guitar and play Just like yesterday Then I'll get on my knees and pray We don't get fooled again No, no! I'll move myself and my family aside If we happen to be left half alive I'll get all my papers and smile at the sky For I know that the hypnotized never lie Do ya? Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! There's nothing in the street Looks any different to me And the slogans are out-phased, by-the-bye And the party on the left Is now party on the right And their beards have all grown longer overnight I'll tip my hat to the new constitution Take a bow for the new revolution Smile and grin at the change all around Pick up my guitar and play Just like yesterday Then I'll get on my knees and pray We don't get fooled again Don't get fooled again No, no!
