Pinball Wizard (The Who cover) Lyrics
Ever since I was a young boy,
I've played the silver ball.
From Soho down to Brighton,
I must have played them all.
I ain't seen nothing like him
In any amusement hall.
That deaf, dumb and blind kid
Sure plays a mean pinball!
Stands like a statue,
Becomes part of the machine.
Feeling all the bumpers,
Always playing clean.
Plays by intuition;
The digit counters fall.
That deaf, dumb and blind kid...
Sure plays a mean pinball
He's a pinball wizard
There has to be a twist
A pinball wizard,
got such a supple wrist.
How do you think he does it?
I don't know
What makes him so good?
Ain't got no distractions
Can't hear no buzzers and bells
See no lights a-flashin';
Plays by sense of smell.
Always gets a replay,
Never seen him fall.
That deaf, dumb and blind kid...
Sure plays a mean pinball!
Thought I was the Bally table king
But I just handed my pinball crown to him
At my favourite table,
He can beat my best
Doubles lead him in
He just does the rest
He's got crazy flipping fingers
I've never seen him fall.
That deaf, dumb and blind kid
Sure plays a mean pinball
I've played the silver ball.
From Soho down to Brighton,
I must have played them all.
I ain't seen nothing like him
In any amusement hall.
That deaf, dumb and blind kid
Sure plays a mean pinball!
Becomes part of the machine.
Feeling all the bumpers,
Always playing clean.
Plays by intuition;
The digit counters fall.
That deaf, dumb and blind kid...
Sure plays a mean pinball
There has to be a twist
A pinball wizard,
got such a supple wrist.
I don't know
What makes him so good?
Can't hear no buzzers and bells
See no lights a-flashin';
Plays by sense of smell.
Always gets a replay,
Never seen him fall.
That deaf, dumb and blind kid...
Sure plays a mean pinball!
But I just handed my pinball crown to him
He can beat my best
Doubles lead him in
He just does the rest
I've never seen him fall.
That deaf, dumb and blind kid
Sure plays a mean pinball

i have to say i am a fan of this cover .. it's obviously not The Who, and the tempo's slowed a little (after all, not many people can keep up with the legend that is Keith Moon) but overall, it's not bad. i'm not usually a fan of cover songs, but this one's fun and catchy, so why not? And the fact that the band collaborated with Roger Daltry is pretty amazing.
This is pretty awesome live, by McFly, I've been madly in love with the original since I was tiny. And now I love this =)
i LOVE both versions, i love mcfly&the who, but i'm gonna have to say that the who's version was ALOT better IMO =]
