VERSURI JETHRO TULL
| Jethro Tull - 4 W D (Low Ratio) |
| Met a man just the other day ---
said his name was Jim. Boy, won't you take a
look!
Got a car for you --- it's a real steal
Cleaned it right down --- new brakes, clutch and
here's the hook
Yes, i |
| Jethro Tull - A Better Moon |
| I see you better now, shaded in deeper blue.
Hardly needing to carry the find-your-way lamp
down to the river.
Tonight flies a better moon.
Sad water buffalo lie fast near the shallows;
a splash |
| Jethro Tull - A New Day Yesterday |
| My first and last time with you
and we had some fun.
wenT walking through the trees, yeah!
And then I kissed you once.
Oh I want to see you soon
but I wonder how.
It was a new day yesterday
b |
| Jethro Tull - A Small Cigar |
| A small cigar can change the world
I know, I've done it frequently at parties
Where I've won all the guests' attention
With my generosity and suave gentlemanly bearing
A little flat tin case is all |
| Jethro Tull - A Song For Jeffrey |
| A Song Gonna lose my way tomorrow,
gonna give away my car.
I'd take you along with me,
but you would not go so far.
Don't see what I do not want to see,
you don't hear what I don't say.
Won't b |
| Jethro Tull - Bends Like A Willow |
| She's catching the wind: the gentlest of breezes.
It's a sensitive passage she's sailing -
Through stormy straits, navigates my unfathomable
failings.
She rises before me, reading me clearly.
Empty |
| Jethro Tull - Black Sunday |
| Tomorrow is the one day I would change for a
Monday
with freezing rains melting and no trains
running
and sad eyes passing in windows flimsy
and my seat rocking from legs not quite
matching
G |
| Jethro Tull - Commons Brawl |
| All right and honorable gentlemen
And lady, too
Will kindly try to restrain themselves
In derring-do
As verbal hard graffiti flies
And echoes wall to wall
Our precious model of democracy
It's |
| Jethro Tull - Dangerous Veils |
| Desert candle in a tented space
throwing softer shadows on a covered face.
Sister, silent to the likes of me --
Pay my respects to her propriety.
Is this some crazy woman here,
dancing behind her |
| Jethro Tull - Dharma For One |
| [Instrumental]
[Introduction:]
She's really turned on by the television, and vice
versa.
Here's a song called, [???]. Yes, right.
Rearranged though,
nevertheless. A new lease on life. In other
|
| Jethro Tull - Dr Bogenbroom |
| I have one foot in the graveyard and the other on
the bus,
and the passengers do trample each other in the
rush.
And the chicken hearted lawman is throwing up his
fill
to see the kindly doctor to pas |
| Jethro Tull - Ears Of Tin |
| In the late hours of a sunset rendezvous ---
chill breeze against tide, that carries me from
you.
Got a job in a southern city --- got some
lead-free in my tank.
Now I must whisper goodbye --- I'm bo |
| Jethro Tull - End Game |
| I'm slipping into grey.
And I was (in my way) good to you.
And you were good for me.
Bye bye my love.
Going to play the end game.
It's growing kind of still.
You know there always will be a dre |
| Jethro Tull - Far Alaska |
| Placing people in their dreamscape
with fantasies of foreign fields
Lofty spires all well appointed
In off-season special deals.
To far Alaska: down to Ria in the Carnival
Norwegian fjords in the |
| Jethro Tull - Farm On The Freeway |
| Nine miles of two-strand topped with barbed wire
laid by the father for the son.
Good shelter down there on the valley floor,
down by where the sweet stream run.
Now they might give me compensation |
| Jethro Tull - Kissing Willie |
| Breaking hearts in a market town. She eats filet
of sole
and washes it down with sparkling wine.
Nice girl, but a bad girl's better. Qualifies in
both ways
to my mind. But now she's kissing Willie.
|
| Jethro Tull - Living In The Past |
| Happy and I'm smiling,
walk a mile to drink your water.
You know I'd love to love you,
and above you there's no other.
We'll go walking out
while others shout of war's disaster.
Oh, we won't gi |
| Jethro Tull - Look Into The Sun |
| Took a sad song of one sweet evening
I smiled and quickly turned away.
It's not easy singing sad songs
but still the easiest way I have to say.
So when you look into the sun
and see the things we |
| Jethro Tull - Love Story |
| Going back in the morning time
to see if my love has changed her mind, yeah.
I know what I will find
that she is wasting time,
she could be picking roses.
Going back in the morning time
to see |
| Jethro Tull - Made In England |
| Somewhere in a town in England
lay a babe with a curious smile.
He was of your father's children.
Born each side of a dry-stone mile.
He grew up through the schools and factories,
Brunel's tunnel |
| Jethro Tull - Moths |
| The leaded window opened
to move the dancing candle flame
And the first Moths of summer
suicidal came.
And a new breeze chattered
in its May-bud tenderness ---
Sending water-lillies saili |
| Jethro Tull - Mountain Men |
| The poacher and his daughter
throw soft shadows on the water in the night.
A thin moon slips behind them
as they pull the net with no betraying light.
And later on the coast road, I meet them
and |
| Jethro Tull - No Rehearsal |
| Did you learn your lines today?
Well, there is no rehearsal.
The tickets have all been sold
For tomorrow's matinee.
There's a telegram from the writer,
But there is no rehearsal.
The electricia |
| Jethro Tull - Nothing To Say |
| Everyday there's someone asking
what is there to do?
Should I love or should I fight
is it all the same to you?
No I say I have the answer
proven to be true,
But if I were to share it with you, |
| Jethro Tull - Panama Freighter |
| Night close in on a shanty town.
Panama freighter wearing rusty brown.
She sails tomorrow and she's homeward bound.
Head up on a lumpy sea.
I'm not the only lonely planet rider
in this one ho |
| Jethro Tull - Protect And Survive |
| They said protect and you'll survive ---
(but our postman didn't call)
8lbs. of over-pressure wave seemed to glue him to
the wall
They said protect and you'll survive
E.M.P. took out the radio -- |
| Jethro Tull - Rock Island |
| Savage night on a misty island. Lights wink out
in the
canyon walls.
Two old boys in a stolen racer. Black rubber
contrails in
the unwashed halls.
And all roads out of here, seem to lead right
back |
| Jethro Tull - Roots To Branches |
| Words get written. Words get twisted.
Old meanings move in the drift of time.
Lift the flickering torches. See gentle shadows
change
the features of the faces cut in unmoving stone.
Bad mouth on |
| Jethro Tull - Sailor (unreleased) |
| When the holy (........) decides to take a look,
refers to the pages of his holy book,
sends the warm rain falling from the sky,
if you've never been a sailor better try
if you've never been a sail |
| Jethro Tull - Sanctuary |
| Dear uncle sold her into the purest kind of
slavery.
Hood-eyed little middlemen profited from damaged
goods
along the way.
Good angels brought her back to a last Nepal
summer.
Debased, hollow-faced |
| Jethro Tull - Scenario |
| In long years of ancient time, stood alone a
friend of mine.
Reflected by the ever-burning sigh of a god who
happened by.
And in the dawn, there came the song
Of some sweet lady singing in his ear.
|
| Jethro Tull - Sealion II |
| Would you like to see my lion
My friend Cecil is damp and smooth
A damp smooth sea lion
Yes, Cecil is a sea lion
(Cecil is a sea lion)
Cecil is a clever sea lion
Cecil sometimes swims
And oft |
| Jethro Tull - Solitaire |
| Brain-storming, habit-forming, battle-warning
weary winsome actor spewing
spineless chilling lines--
The critics falling over to tell themselves he's
boring
And really not an awful lot of fun.
|
| Jethro Tull - Spiral |
| Kilometers from nowhere on a scented avenue -
Lined with poppy girls.
I didn't stop, stop to say hello.
Curious vendors - waving bric-a-brac -
Looked me over -
Thought it best, best that I should |
| Jethro Tull - The Waking Edge |
| As I wake up in a room somewhere...
dawn light not yet showing.
There's just a thin horizon between me and her...
the edge of a half-dream glowing.
Well, you know, I felt her in my dream last night |
| Jethro Tull - The Water Carrier |
| Crystal fountain springing from the hill.
It irrigates your soul. You may drink your fill.
Water of life, carried high.
One hand upon the gallon jar. Feel her fix my eye.
Every good traveller's f |
| Jethro Tull - To Cry You A Song |
| Flying so high, trying to remember
how many cigarettes did I bring along?
When I get down I'll jump in a taxi cab
driving through London town
to cry you a song.
It's been a long time --
still s |
| Jethro Tull - Velvet Green |
| Walking on velvet green. Scots pine growing.
Isn't it rare to be taking the air, singing.
Walking on velvet green.
Walking on velvet green. Distant cows lowing.
Never a care: with your legs in th |
| Jethro Tull - With You There To Help Me |
| In days of peace --
sweet smelling summer nights
of wine and song;
dusty pavements burning feet.
Why am I crying, I want to know.
How can I smile and make it right?
For sixty days and eighty ni |
