Tommy, Tommy lyrics
Now Tommy was a pensioner, an O.A.P.
He’d fought in both wars, for you and me
Lived in the city, in a cold damp home
He lived the last days of his life, all alone

He wouldn’t go out, of his home
One night he was mugged, they broke his leg bone
No-one came to see him, most days
‘cept the lady that brought him his one meal, on a plastic tray
No No-one came to see him, most days
‘cept the lady that brought him his one meal, on a plastic tray

Tommy, Tommy
Once so proud of the land you loved
Tommy, Tommy
In the end you paid in blood

In winter he’d wear layers of thick clothes
In front of his one-bar-electric-fire he’d doze
He’d turn it on for an hour each night
He couldn’t afford the electric bill for that and the light

His neighbours spoke words he couldn’t understand
They’d come from some unknown foreign land
He saw on the news prisoners getting three-course-meals
You can imagine how that made Tommy feel

They were living so much better than him
He said they’d been rewarded for committing their sins
Tommy was imprisoned for doing no wrong
For Tommy it seemed that all hope had gone

Tommy, Tommy
Once so proud of the land you loved
Tommy, Tommy
In the end you paid in blood

One day they found Tommy weeks after he’d died
His war medals were laid out by his side
He was buried in a paupers grave
On the wooden cross it was wrote ‘Tommy, a soul that no-one would save’.

Tommy, Tommy
Once so proud of the land you loved
Tommy, Tommy
In the end you paid in blood

Tommy, Tommy
Once so proud of the land you loved
Tommy, Tommy
In the end you paid in blood
In the end you paid in blood
In the end you paid in blood
In the end you paid in blood
In the end you paid in blood
Once so proud of the land you loved
In the end you paid in blood

Now Tommy was a pensioner, an O.A.P.
He’d fought in both wars, for you and me
Lived in the city, in a cold damp home
He lived the last days of his life, all alone

Tommy, Tommy
Once so proud of the land you loved
Tommy, Tommy
In the end you paid in blood
