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
She picked up the book of her father's life
That she and Tommy were worlds apart
But her mother said, "Never mind, your part
The theme of the sermon was 'Come unto me,
And love will find a way',
So Sally decided to ignore her dad
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
That she and Tommy were worlds apart
But her mother said, "Never mind, your part
She arrived at six, and the place was swinging
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!"
Little Sally got lost as the police bossed
Soon the atmosphere was cooler
Sally just had to let him know she loved him
And lept up on the rostrum
She ran across stage to the spotlit figure
And brushed him on the face
Tommy whirled around as a uniformed man
That she and Tommy were worlds apart
But her mother said, "Never mind, your part
Her cheek hit a chair and blood trickled down
Tommy carried on preaching
And his voice filled Sally's ears
She caught his eye, she had to try
But he couldn't see through the lights
Her face was gashed, and the ambulance men
Had to carry her out that night
Little Sally was lost for the price of a touch
And a gash across her face, oh
Sixteen stitches put her right, and her dad said
"Don't say I didn't warn you"
Sally got married to a rock musician
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
That she and Tommy were worlds apart
But her mother said, "Never mind, your part
