Sitting on a park bench
Eyeing little girls with bad intent
Snot's running down his nose
Greasy fingers smearing shabby clothes
Hey, Aqualung
Drying in the cold sun
Watching as the frilly panties run
Hey, Aqualung
Feeling like a dead duck
Spitting out pieces of his broken luck
Oh, Aqualung
Sun streaking cold
An old man wandering lonely
Taking time the only way he knows
Leg hurting bad as he bends to pick a dog-end
Goes down to the bog and warms his feet
Feeling alone
The army's up the road
Salvation a la mode and a cup of tea
Aqualung, my friend
Don't you start away uneasy
You poor old sod
You see, it's only me
Do you still remember
December's foggy freeze
When the ice that clings on to your beard
Was screaming agony
And you snatch your rattling last breaths
With… More

I can’t believe Jethro Tull is not in the R&R HOF

What are they thinking?

 

[basquebromance]

maybe this year or the next they'll get inducted!

or because of the violin thing, they don't consider it rock

 

[basquebromance]

there should be a metal hall of fame!

Stormwatch tour --1979 in Richfield Ohio with Uriah Heep opening for them

One of my favorite, most memorable concerts ever. That was Jethro Tull's last tour
with Barrymore Barlow playing drums.

What are they thinking?

It's Jann Wenner's (Rolling Stone) baby. If he doesn't like you, you don't get in. KISS finally got in after the fan outcry was too much.

Not in:

Jethro Tull
Kansas
Emerson, Lake & Palmer
Pat Benatar
King Crimson

I'd say Aqualung was the best album of 1971.
Carole King's Tapestry
Led Zeppelin IV
Yes Fragile
Who's Next

 

[basquebromance]

Neil Young released an album that year too...The Golden Rush? something like that

Great Albums
