Jethro Tull performing Aqualung live!

Jethro Tull
Aqualung
Lyrics:

Sitting on a park bench
Eying little girls with bad intent
Snots 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
He goes down to a 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
It was screaming agony

Hey and you snatch your rattling last breaths
With deep-sea diver sounds
And the flowers bloom like
Madness in the spring
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
He goes down to a 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
Aqualung my friend don’t you start away uneasy
You poor old sod, you see it’s only me
Sitting on a park bench
Eying up little girls with bad intent

Snots 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, hey Aqualung
Oh Aqualung

Gerry Rafferty
Right Down the Line
Lyrics:

You know I need your love
You’ve got that hold over me
Long as I’ve got your love
You know that I’ll never leave
When I wanted you to share my life
I had no doubt in my mind
And it’s been you woman
Right down the line

I know how much I lean on you
Only you can see
The changes that I’ve been through
Have left a mark on me
You’ve been as constant as a Northern Star
The brightest light that shines
It’s been you, woman
Right down the line

I just want to say this is my way
Of tellin’ you everything
I could never say before
Yeah this is my way of tellin’ you
That every day I’m lovin’ you so much more
‘Cause you believed in me through my darkest night
Put somethin’ better inside of me
You brought me into the light
Threw away all those crazy dreams
I put them all behind
And it was you, woman
Right down the line

I just want to say this is my way
Of tellin’ you everything
I could never say before
Yeah this is my way of tellin’ you
That every day I’m lovin’ you so much more
If I should doubt myself
If I’m losing ground
I won’t turn to someone else
They’d only let me down
When I wanted you to share my life
I had no doubt in my mind
And it’s been you, woman
Right down the line

I Want to Be Free
Lyrics:

One day child, I won’t have to listen to your lies
On that day, I’ll be able to make up my own mind
You know, I think I done finally realized
And now I think I can put you out of my life

I’m gonna be free! (I want to be free to run away)
I’m gonna be free! (I want to be free to run away)
I’m gonna be free! (I want to be free to speak my mind, all the time)
I want to be free!
I want to be free!
I want to be free!

And one morning,
I won’t be afraid to leave.
And all those things that you told me,
I never could conceive.

I’m gonna be free! (I want to be free to run away)
I’m gonna be free! (I want to be free to run away)
I’m gonna be free! (I want to be free to speak my mind, all the time)
I want to be free!
I want to be free!
I want to be free!
I want to be free!
I want to be free!

You don’t know how it makes me feel child,
To be able to walk away from your smile.
And I’m gonna be alright, after awhile.
I think the Lord done gave me a strength now.

I’m gonna be free! (I want to be free to run away)
I’m gonna be free! (I want to be free to run away)
I’m gonna be free! (I want to be free to speak my mind, all the time)
I want to be free!
I want to be free!
I want to be free!
I want to be free!
I want to be free!

One day I’m gonna be free honey,
And nothing can make me stay, not even your money.
I know you’re gonna think that I’m acting funny,
But I’m getting away from you honey.

I’m gonna be free! (I want to be free to run away)
I’m gonna be free! (I want to be free to run away)
I’m gonna be free! (I want to be free to speak my mind, all the time)
I want to be free!
I want to be free!
I want to be free!
I want to be free!
