Aqualung


Jethro Tull

Sitting on a park bench 
eyeing little girls with bad intent.
Snot running down his nose 
greasy fingers smearing shabby clothes. 
Drying in the cold sun 
Watching as the frilly panties run. 
Feeling like a dead duck 
spitting out pieces of his broken luck.
Sun streaking cold 
an old man wandering lonely.
Taking timethe only way he knows.
Leg hurting bad,as he bends to pick a dog-end 
he goes down to the bog and warms his feet.
Feeling alone the army's up the rode
salvation à la mode and cup of tea. 
Aqualung my friend don't you start away uneasy 
you poor old sod, you see, it's only me.
D' you still remember December's foggy freeze 
when the ice that clings on to your beard is screaming agony.
And you snatch your rattling last breaths with deep-sea-diver sounds,
and the flowers bloom like madness in the spring.
