See Me, Feel Me / Listening to You .......... The Who

[MRS. WALKER]

It rains champagne!
A son was born again!
A genius untamed!
A life of wealth and fame, wealth and fame!
Champagne flowing down just like rain,
Caviar breeakfasts every day.
Merchant banks and yachts and ...
Servants and cars and private sand.

[TOMMY]

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

[MRS. WALKER]

They flock in, thousands strong.
We'll just play along.
A million in reserve.
For love, a just deserve, just deserve!
Birds and flowers and peacock's wings,
Sequined gowns and birds that sing!
Private planes and fishing lanes.
Bigger crowds and bigger, bigger, bigger takes.
But what's it all worth?
What's it all worth when my son is blind?
He can't hear the music nor enjoy what I'm buying.
His life is worthless, affecting mine.
I'd pay any price to drive his plight from my mind!

[TOMMY]

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

[FRANK]

There's a man I've found
Could bring us all joy!
There's a doctor I've found can cure the boy!
A doctor I've found can cure the boy!
There's a man I've found could remove his sorrow,
He lives in this town, let's see him tomorrow,

[MRS. WALKER]

Let's see him tomorrow.

[DOCTOR]

He seems to be completely unreceptive.
The tests I gave him showed 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 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.

[MRS. WALKER]

I often wonder what it is 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?
What is happening in his head?
Oooooh, I wish I knew, I wish I knew.

[MRS. WALKER]

Tommy, can you see me?
Can I help to cheer you?
Tommy, can you hear me?
Can you feel me near you?
Oooh, Tommy, Tommy, Tommy, Tommy.
Tommy, can you hear me?
Can you feel me near you?
Tommy, can you see me?
Can I help to cheer you?
Oooh, Tommy, Tommy, Tommy,
Tommy, Tommy, Tommy.

[MRS. WALKER]

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, rise, rise, rise, rise,
Rise, rise, rise, rise, rise,
Rise, rise, rise!
Do you hear or fear or
Do I smash the mirror?
Do you hear or fear or
Do I smash the mirror?

[TOMMY]

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.
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 I'm waiting for you to follow me.
I'm free -- I'm free,
And I'm waiting for you to follow me.

[MRS. WALKER]

Tommy, can you hear me?
Tommy, can you hear me?
Tommy, can you hear me?
Tommy, can you hear me?
Tommy, Tommy, Tommy, Tommy.

[TOMMY]

Mother, Father.
Touch me, feel me.
Who am I, where did I come from?
Have you known me, have you seen me?
Mother?

[MRS. WALKER]

You're a hero! You are famous!
You're a champion of the young!
You are rich, but it's so absurd to try
To explain all the things you've done.
You're a god, and you're loved;
Thousands watch you play
Pinball! It's a fever!
And you're the master of the game!
And now that you're whole,
You'll be champion of their very souls.

[TOMMY]

Yes, I'm healed!
Delivered from silent darkness.
No more locked doors
Or stifled screams.
Pinball! What I see now before me
Is far beyond the game,
Beyond your wildest dreams!
Those who love me
Have a higher path to follow now.
And you, dear mother, too
Must be prepared!

[NARRATOR]

While Tommy flies, the world is turning.
Life goes on for you and me.
Our chief concern is money earning,
Why can't someone set us free?
Can't you feel him?
Can't you feel him?
Can't you feel him?
Can't you feel him?

[TOMMY]

You'll feel me coming
A new vibration
From afar you'll see me
I'm a sensation.
I'm a sensation.
I overwhelm as I approach you
Make your lungs hold breath inside!
Lovers break caresses for me
Love enhanced when I've gone by.
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.
Soon you'll see me can't you feel me
I'm coming...
Send your troubles dancing I know the answer
I'm coming...
I'm coming...
I'm a sensation.
You'll feel me coming
A new vibration
From afar you'll see me
I'm a sensation.
I'm a sensation.
I leave a trail of rooted people
Mesmerised by just the sight,
The few I touched now are disciples
Love as One I Am the Light...
I Am the Light!

[NEWSBOYS]

Extra, extra, read all about it!
Pinball Wizard in a miracle cure!
Extra, extra, read all about it!
Extra, Extra!
Right now, right now, story and pictures
Pinball bonanza, a mother's joy!
... to show times, lessons and actors.
Extra, extra!

[NARRATOR]

Outside the house Mr. Simpson announced
That Sally couldn't go to the meeting.
He went on cleaning his black 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 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,
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 one of the people came on stage
And shouted, "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!

[TOMMY]

Your happy welcome is like a favor
I must now return.
The darkness of my childhood past
And flames of blood now burn.
The pinball game I play so well
Reflects a way of life.
This meeting is just another game;
Let's play to win, tonight!

[NARRATOR]

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]

Try to walk the path I walked,
Never mind the pain and fear.
Each one of you has freedom
In your heart without my grace.
Let me see you raise your hands
See joy upon your face!

[NARRATOR]

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, her pretty face! Ooooh.
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."

[TOMMY]

Come to my house,
Be one of the comfortable people.
Come to this house,
We're drinking all night,
Never sleeping.
Milkman come in!
And you, baker,
Little old lady, welcome,
And you, shoemaker.
Come to this house,
Into this house!

[FRANK AND MRS. WALKER]

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

[TOMMY]

You can help
To collect some more in.
Young and old people,
Let's get them all in.
Come to this house,
Into this house!
Ask along that man with a big red carnation.
Bring every single person
From Victoria Station.
Go into that hospital,
And bring the nurses and patients.
Everybody go home and fetch their relations.

[ALL]

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

[FRANK]

Hullo, Tommy, there's more at the door.
Look, upon the floor.
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!

[TOMMY]

We need more room,
Build an extension.
A colorful palace,
Spare no expense, now!
Come to this house,
Be one of us.
Make this your house,
Be one of us.
Come to me now!
Come to me now!
Welcome!
Welcome!

[MRS. WALKER]

To raise your weary spirits high,
My son will teach your silent hearts
To talk!
Every home will have his picture.
Pilgrims all will touch his hand.
Pinball tables, gold and silver,
Altars to the Master's plan!

[FRANK]

Rio, Paris, New York, London.
Moscow, Peking, Tokyo, the world!
A Tommy Camp in every city,
Millions flocking in like sheep.
What they want ain't cheap, 's a pity.
But who am I to upset their dreams?

[UNCLE ERNIE]

Good morning, Campers!
I'm your Brother Ernie,
And I welcome you to Tommy's Holiday Camp!
The camp with a difference, never mind the weather,
When you come to Tommy's, the holiday's forever!
Welcome!
Get your Tommy T-shirts, and your stickers,
And your Tommy mirrors to smash!
Don't rush, keep steady,
Have your money ready!
Buy your way to heaven,
That comes to one pound seven.
Bless your heart! (ka-ching!)
Eyeshades and earplugs,
Keep in line, I've got a huge supply!
Get your Tommy records,
You can really hear him talk!
Tommy pics and matches,
half a knicker for the cork.
You lucky people!
The camp with a difference, never mind the weather,
When you come to Tommy's, the holiday's forever!

[CHORUS]

These pricy gips don't teach us!
Your freedom doesn't reach us!
Enlightenment escapes us!
Awareness doesn't shape us!
How can all this trvia
Take us to the goal you reached?
We came here to be like you,
To find the world you've reached!
These pricy gips don't teach us!
Your freedom doesn't reach us!
Enlightenment escapes us!
Awareness doesn't shape us!
How can all this trvia
Take us to the goal you reached?
We came here to be like you,
To find the world you've reached!

[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.
So 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, smokin' mother nature,
You missed the bus.
Hey, hung up old Mister Normal,
Don't try to gain my trust.
'Cos you ain't gonna follow me
Any of those ways,
Although you think you must!
Now you can't hear me,
Your ears are truly sealed!
You can't speak either,
'Cos your mouth is filled.
You can't see nothing,
And pinball completes the scene.
Here come willing helpers
To guide you to
Your very own machine!

[CHORUS]

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!
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,
As far as we can tell!
We ain't gonna take you,
Never did and never will!
We ain't gonna take you,
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, heal me, heal me.

Chorus: 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 opinions.
From you I get the story.
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!

[TOMMY AND CHORUS]

Right behind you I see the millions.
On you I see the glory.
From you I get opinions.
From you I get the story.
Listening to you I get the music.
Gazing at you I get the heat (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 opinions.
From you I get the story.
Ohhhhh, 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 opinions.
From you I get the story.
Listening to you!
