According to some interviews of Townshend this song is about Pete's experiences during vacations at the Isle of man. When he was there a man used to sleep on the beaches. All the children would make fun of the man and at one point actually buried him in the sand. But Pete says he never minded it and just smiled. The man's name might not have been "Jack." Pete just made up the name.

Whofreak777, who the hell are you kidding?
@Flinchy17 It might be worthwhile to know that the 'beach man' also 'molested' the young Townshend. Disgusting, but true
