Sally Simpson Lyrics

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.
