Tommy

Captain Walker didn't come home His unborn child will never know him

He's believed to be missing With a number of men

Don't expect to see him again

It's a boy, Mrs. Walker

It's a boy

It's a boy, Mrs. Walker

It's a boy

A son

Hear the joyful celebrations In the streets

It's a boy born On this first day of peace

We've won

A son

We've won

I'm your friendly green coat

And l welcome you to Bernie's Holiday Camp

One day and you'll be happy

It's Bernie you will thank

You must be little Tommy

Well, call me Uncle Frank

-Welcome you too, Mrs. Walker -Did you know I had an Uncle Frank?

-You'll always find a helping hand -l've never met him

Lookie, Mom, a cage of budgies Swimming pool and donkey rides

-Oh, please -A camp with the extras

l'm in Chateau Number 1 1

-It's all free, Mom -When you come to Bernie's

You might think you're in heaven

Here we have the winner, folks

Have you ever seen a lovelier pair?

What a shapely ankle

What a perfect shin

If you could feel this silken thigh

You'd know who has to win

If you could feel this silken thigh

You'd know

You don't know How much I've missed

To feel a man again

To dance, to kiss

Your eyes reveal you're lonely

This evening must pass slowly

Until we're one

My heart won't rest

Will Tommy share our happiness?

-Of course he will I'll make him smile -You don't know

-I'll take him out to cinemas and fairs -How much l've missed

To feel a man again To dance, to kiss

Football and cricket Never been a happier lad

I'll be more than an uncle

I'll be just like a dad

I will be a green coat too

And when I'm big I'll own a holiday camp

A camp with a difference

Always be good weather

When you come to Tommy's

The holiday's forever

I'm glad you like your Uncle Frank

He'll surely love you too

Just like a dad

He's very nice, I think

Did he fight in the war?

-When he's got his green coat on -When he's got his green coat on

-l love him even more -l love him even more

Got a feeling '51 's Going to be a good year

Especially if you and me See it out together

So you think that '51 Is gonna be a good year

We'll marry now And see it out together

I have no reason To be overoptimistic

But somehow when you smile

I can brave bad weather

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 nothin' to no one Ever in your life

You never heard it

How absurd it all seems Without any proof

You didn't hear it You didn't see it

You won't say nothin' to no one Ever in your life

You never heard it

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 nothin' to no one

Never tell a soul What you know is the truth

Now he is deaf

Now he is dumb

Now he is blind

The guilty are safe

But always accused By his empty eyes

Nothing to say Nothing to hear

And nothing to see

Each sensation makes a note In his symphony

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 delirium Creeps up on him

Soaring and flying images spin

He is your leader He is your guide

On the amazing journey Together you'll ride

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

The truth burns so bright It can melt winter snow

A towering shadow So black and so high

A white sun burning The Earth and the sky

Tommy.

Did you ever see the faces Of the children?

They get so excited

Waking up on Christmas morning

Hours before The winter's sun's ignited

They believe in dreams And all they mean

Including heaven's generosity

Peeping 'round the door to see

What parcels are for free In curiosity

And Tommy doesn't know What day it is

He 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?

Tommy, can you hear me?

-Can you--? Can you hear me? -Tommy, can you hear me?

How can he be saved?

See me

Feel me

Touch me

Heal me

See me

Feel me

Touch me

Heal me

Tommy, can you hear me?

How can he be saved?

Surrounded by his friends He sits so silently

And unaware of anything

Crazy-eyed he picks his nose He smiles, he cries

He 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 spirit's future level Ever heighten

And Tommy doesn't know What day it is

He doesn't know who Jesus was Or what praying is

How can he be saved

From the eternal grave?

You talk about your woman

I wish you could see mine

You talk about your woman

I wish you could see mine

Every time she starts to love

She brings eyesight to the blind

Oh, yeah

You know, Her daddy gave her magic

I can tell by the way she walks

You know, Her daddy gave her magic

I can tell by the way she walks

Every time she starts to shake

The dumb begin to talk

Talk, talk, talk

She's got the power to heal you

Never fear

She has got the power to heal you

Never fear

Just one word from her lips

And the deaf can hear

She's got the power to heal you

Never fear

She's got the power to heal you

Never fear

One word from her lips And the deaf can hear

Yeah

If your child Ain't all he should be now

This girl will put him right

I'll show him What he could be now

Just give me one night

I'm the Gypsy The Acid Queen

Pay me before I start

I'm the Gypsy And l'm guaranteed

To mend his aching heart

Give us a room Close the door

Leave us for a while

You won't be a boy no more

Young but not a child

'Cause l'm the Gypsy

The Acid Queen

Pay me before I start

The Gypsy I'm guaranteed

To tear your soul apart

Gather your wits And hold on fast

Your mind must learn to roam

Just as the Gypsy Queen must do

You're gonna hit the road

My work's begun Now look at him

He's never been more alive

His head it shakes His fingers clutch

Watch his body writhe

I'm the Gypsy The Acid Queen

Pay me before I start

I'm the Gypsy I'm guaranteed
