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.
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.
Nearly down to the ground.


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

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.

(Townshend)   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   If I swallow anything evil  Put your finger down my
throat  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

-- -- --- ------ --- 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.

I know you've deceived me, now here's a surprise
I know that you have 'cause there's magic in my eyes

I can see for miles and miles and miles and miles and miles
Oh yeah

If you think that I don't know about the little tricks you've
played
And never see you when deliberately you put things in my way

Well, here's a poke at you
You're gonna choke on it too
You're gonna lose that smile
Beacuse all the while

I can see for miles and miles
I can see for miles and miles
I can see for miles and miles and miles and miles and miles
Oh yeah

You took advantage of my trust in you when I was so far away
I saw you holding lots of other guys and now you've got the
nerve to say

That you still want me
Well, that's as may be
But you gotta stand trial
Because all the while

I can see for miles and miles
I can see for miles and miles
I can see for miles and miles and miles and miles and miles
Oh yeah

I know you've deceived me, now here's a surprise
I know that you have 'cause there's magic in my eyes

I can see for miles and miles and miles and miles and miles
Oh yeah

The Eiffel Tower and the Taj Mahal are mine to see on clear days
You thought that I would need a crystal ball to see right
through the haze

Well, here's a poke at you
You're gonna choke on it too
You're gonna lose that smile
Beacuse all the while

I can see for miles and miles
I can see for miles and miles
I can see for miles and miles and miles and miles and miles
and miles and miles and miles and miles

I can see for miles and miles
I can see for miles and miles
I can see for miles and miles
I can see for miles and miles

--- ---- 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?

----- ------- 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.
