Overture

Average song rating An "Overture" in the truest operatic sense of the word, Pete Townshend combines themes from several of the songs of Tommy ("1921", "Go To the Mirror", "See Me Feel Me/Listening to You", "Pinball Wizard", and the coda of "I'm Free") into a unified whole which is superb, and gives John Entwistle his chance to shine with the French horn in one of the finest moments in his career.

Lyrics

Captain Walker
Didn't come home
His unborn child,
Will never know him
Believe him missing
With a number of men
Don't expect
To see him again.
