10. I have the original vinyl LP where the cover folds out into a newspaper and everything

yes, i'm a bit old.. heh.. have that, Songs from the Wood, Aqualung, Stormwatch, Heavy Horses - and like 3 others all on vinyl. of course i've updated and have all Tull on either cd or mp3 now. think i have every album and quite a few bootlegs. saw um live during their 20th or 25th anniverasary tour years ago.. truly great music.. :)

[Dystopian]

12. Another Tull freak ; )

Sadly, all my vinyl is gone...I used to have many bootlegs also. I'm every bit as old as you.. probably older!
I had tickets to see them a few years ago in NH, something weird happened, and I ended up reading a book under a tree....Makes no sense, but it's late. I was wondering today if old Ian regrets the tune 'Fat Man'...I was just doing some mind traveling....as I was living in the past....
Thank you for sharing...:hug:

peace~

Yes, brings back memories of days gone by...yet relive them through the music...
That's the beauty of it all....

14. Back to the Family

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KZD6D5vH8WE&NR=1
My telephone wakes me in the morning --
have to get up to answer the call.
So I think I'll go back to the family
where no one can ring me at all.
Living this life has its problems
so I think that I'll give it a break.
Oh, I'm going back to the family
`cos I've had about all I can take.

Master's in the counting house
counting all his money.
Sister's sitting by the mirror --
she thinks her hair looks funny.
And here am I thinking to myself
just wond'ring what things to do.

I think I enjoyed all my problems
Where I did not get nothing for free.
Oh, I'm going back to the family --
doing nothing is bothering me.
I'll get a train back to the city
that soft life is getting me down.
There's more fun away from the family
get some action when I pull into town.

Everything I do is wrong,
what the hell was I thinking?
Phone keeps ringing all day long
I got no time for thinking.
And every day has the same old way
of giving me too much to do.

peace~

15. This stuff is so so good....

[Dystopian]

16. Yes...I'm drowning in it....

Awesome, yes? Yes! :hug:

peace~

[LeftyFingerPop]

17. I've replayed about 5 times now...

:hug:

[Dystopian]

19. I think I'll put the CDs on...

And go to sleep....
Odd how one can spend the day doing something....just something...really nothing.
No explanation..
Five times...sweet:hug:

peace~

18. Inside

One of my favorites...no live version.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xUhCdB7mvgI&feature=PlayList&p=0101FE7114B6EB42&playnext=1&playnext_from=PL&index=10
All the places I've been make it hard to begin
to enjoy life again on the inside,
but I mean to.
Take a walk around the block
and be glad that I've got me some time
to be in from the outside,
and inside with you.

I'm sitting on the corner feeling glad.
Got no money coming in but I can't be sad.
That was the best cup of coffee I ever had.
And I won't worry about a thing
because we've got it made,
here on the inside, outside so far away.

And we'll laugh and we'll sing
get someone to bring our friends here
for tea in the evening --
Old Jeffrey makes three.
Take a walk in the park,
does the wind in the dark
sound like music to you?
Well I'm thinking it does to me.

Can you cook, can you sew --
well, I don't want to know.
That is not what you need on the inside,
to make the time go.

Counting lambs, counting sheep
we will fall into sleep
and we awake to a new day of living
and loving you so.

peace~

[Dystopian]

20. Sweet Dream

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hJkfpcqQVQY

You'll hear me calling in your sweet dream
can't hear your daddy's warning cry
you're going back to be all the things you want to be
while in sweet dreams you softly sigh

you hear my voice is calling
to be mine again
live the rest of your life in a day

get out and get what you can
while your mummy's at home a-sleeping
no time to understand
'cause they lost what they thought they were keeping

no one can see us in your sweet dream
don't hear you leave to start the car
all wrapped up tightly in the coat you borrowed from me,
your place of resting is not far

you hear my voice is calling
to be mine again
live the rest of your life in a day

get out and get what you can
while your mummy's at home a-sleeping
no time to understand
'cause they lost what they thought they were keeping

peace~

21. Wond'ring Again

Couldn't find a live version, so album one will have to do - but this is one of my favorite Tull songs - quite dark and powerful:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-0mxuJiOEaQ

Wond'ring Again

There's the stillness of death on a deathly unliving sea,
And the motor car magical world long since ceased to be,
When the eve-bitten apple returned to destroy the tree.

Incestuous ancestry's charabanc ride,
Spawning new millions throws the world on it's side.
Supporting their far-flung illusion, the national curse,
And those with no sandwiches please get off the bus.

The excrement bubbles,
The century's slime decays
And the brainwashing government lackeys
Would have us say
It's under control and we'll soon be on our way
To a grand year for babies and quiz panel games
Of the hot hungry millions you'll be sure to remain.

The natural resources are dwindling and no one grows old,
And those with no homes to go to, please dig yourself holes.

We wandered through quiet lands, felt the first breath of snow.
Searched for the last pigeon, slate grey I've been told.
Stumbled on a daffodil which she crushed in the rush, heard it sigh,
And left it to die.
At once felt remorse and were touched by the loss of our own,
Held it's poor broken head in her hands,
Dropped soft tears in the snow,
And it's only the taking that makes you what you are.

Wond'ring aloud will a son one day be born
To share in our infancy
In the child's path we've worn.
In the aging seclusion of this earth that our birth did surprise
We'll open his eyes.

[Dystopian]

22. Nice....

Thank you for posting...I, too, love this song.:hug:
I have it somewhere, and it was great hearing it again...and again....
The darkness lures me in...

It's so nice to be sharing the music I love...

peace~

[Dystopian]

23. My God

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dh0woT7NkKI
People -- what have you done --
locked Him in His golden cage.
Made Him bend to your religion --
Him resurrected from the grave.
He is the god of nothing --
if that's all that you can see.
You are the god of everything --
He's inside you and me.
So lean upon Him gently
and don't call on Him to save you
from your social graces
and the sins you used to waive.
The bloody Church of England --
in chains of history --
requests your earthly presence at
the vicarage for tea.
And the graven image you-know-who --
with His plastic crucifix --
he's got him fixed --
confuses me as to who and where and why --
as to how he gets his kicks.
Confessing to the endless sin --
the endless whining sounds.
You'll be praying till next Thursday to
all the gods that you can count.

peace~

[Dystopian]

24. Life is a Long Song

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bchCVvIGWyA

When you're falling awake and you take stock of the new day,
and you hear your voice croak as you choke on what you need to say,
well, don't you fret, don't you fear,
I will give you good cheer.

Life's a long song.
Life's a long song.
Life's a long song.

If you wait then your plate I will fill.

As the verses unfold and your soul suffers the long day,
and the twelve o'clock gloom spins the room,
you struggle on your way.
Well, don't you sigh, don't you cry,
lick the dust from your eye.

Life's a long song.
Life's a long song.
Life's a long song.

We will meet in the sweet light of dawn.

As the Baker Street train spills your pain all over your new dress,
and the symphony sounds underground put you under duress,
well don't you squeal as the heel grinds you under the wheel.

Life's a long song.
Life's a long song.
Life's a long song.

But the tune ends too soon for us all.

peace~

25. Two from the album Nightcap

Hard liner

<http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C5v6gNxTuzE>

(no video, studio version)

Hard liner, she brings ice when I bring fire.
She's a hard liner.
Tightrope cross Niagara
She'd cut the wire
Never feel a thing.
Walked the sidewalk of another strange avenue.
Kicked my heels and wished my feet were in some other shoes.
But I'm not running from that hard liner.

Well she brings ice when I bring fire.
She's a real hard liner.
How does she retain my heart's desire?
It's a funny thing.
Knows what she wants, knows how to get it, too.
Scares me with cold logic, scares me with the witch's brew.
But I keep on drinking.
Hard liner.

Hard liner.
I'm framed and I'm hanging on the wall.
She's a hard liner.
I'm like some big game trophy hat-stand in the hall.
But I remember warm and loving nights.
Her hair, restaurants,
Swaying bust, headlights
It's a funny thing.

Hard liner.
Yeah, she brings ice when I bring fire.
Hard liner.
Tightrope 'cross Niagara, don't cut my wire.
Hard liner, hard, hard liner.
She brings sun when I bring rain.
She's a real hard liner.
Yeah, we've got it all crossed up again.

Hard liner. Hard liner.
Now I don't think we can stay in the same town.

Man of principle

<http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i2Oi8d2uAUg&feature=related>

(no video, studio version)

One day he'll walk from out of this place.
You'll see a quiet determination on his face.
He'll toe no lines. Suffer no fools.
But he'll raise three cheers to the losing team
from the other school.
A little dedication. A little pair of daddy's shoes to fill.
Compleat education. One day he'll be a man of principle.

And the battle's on. And he'll play to win.
Feel the blue blood rushing quick beneath his skin.
And grim they stand. And hard they fall.
Harder still, when their backs are up against the wall.
Gonna get your attention. But he's carrying his cross
to the other hill.
With divine intervention, he can be a man of principle.

In the evening light, with a fair-ground girl--
he stops himself as his head begins to whirl.
And he walks her home. And there's a kiss goodbye.
She feels a chill as she looks him in the eye.
Well, there's a time and a place now
and it's not tonight she'll bend his will.
Slow realization--she's looking at a man of principle.
Hung from the highest station by his old school tie--
undressed to kill
He could be a real sensation. But he's a man of principle.

[Dystopian]

26. SwissTony...thank you so much...

He could be a real sensation. But he's a man of principle.

Awesome song...Tull is the deepest of deep.
I loved it, had never heard it before....
Songs coming out that perhaps I heard in another lifetime...
Heartfelt thanks...you made my night.


peace~
