Pinball Wizard (The Who cover) Lyrics
Pete Townshend composed a rock opera based on a blind deaf and dumb boy named Tommy who grew up to be a Pinball Wizard, and beat the original Pinball Wizard (played by elton in the movie) to gain the title
I love the Who's "Tommy", and this is my favorite Who song. Now, that said, I love the Elton John cover version, and I might even prefer. There's just more liveliness to his piano playing and signing...and he's certainly a more talented vocalist. But again, the Who did it very well, and both versions should be treated like two different songs, because the elements are different. I've heard a few live Elton John performances, and they've all been pretty good, and the version from the film is my favorite. Best scene in the film in my opinion.
Elton John does song this song in the "Tommy" soundtrack guy!
IM A RETARD
Hey, good on ya, buddy! I mean, not that you're a retard, but that you can have a sense of humor on these forums... too much anger stems from these things...

Loved this song in Tommy.
The line is actually "Always gets a replay, never tilts at all"
i h8 this cover
hey free the gold fish let me enlighten you every lyrics website puts that line as "Always gets a replay, never tilts at all" but it really is on the relleased record version "Always gets a replay, never seen him fall" on the live version it is what you thought though
Odly enough lamb, Townshend himself loves this cover and has mentioned that he almost wishes he had invited EJ to the band earlier.
