I Always thought this song had a good musical feel to it but it also has really strange lyrics. Jethro Tull always wrote complex and difficult songs to understand but this one is, or should be really simple. Here are the lyrics=

I am your neighbor. I seem most respectable,

But underneath Im an iniquitous toad.

So many dreadful mishaps have befallen you ---

Down at the end of your road.

And I live down the end of your road.

Im working on ways to remove you from paradise ---

From your striped lawn and your new swimming pool.

I place broken bottles in your geraniums ---

Sabotage your gardening tools.

And I live down the end of your road.

By day I am a real estate gentleman.

I deal in fine properties --- cheap at the price.

After dark, I plan my most devious practices

Which you might think are not very nice.

Designing a system to reverse your plumbing ---

Welling up, as you sit on your private throne.

Will come up all kinds of vile and despicable nasties

You would rather not have in your home.

And I live down the end of your road.

Dispensed loathsome creatures in your drawing room,

Sent doggy poo-poos in your morning mail.

Rats heads and larks wings should set your tums turning

And your houses will soon be for sale.

And I live down the end of your road.

Martin's guitar at 3:02-3:05 is still one of my favorite bits in the whole Tull catalogue

Wow this is one of the weirdest Tull songs that nobody knows. He is playing the role of a devil or demon tying to get your soul by making all sorts of bad things happen in your life. By day he is respectable, by night he does devious, diabolical things, sabotaging and wreaking havoc. Anderson has this strange alter-ego which is apparent in many of his songs, if you really listen to all of them and study the words.

Ian Anderson likes to write lyrics that deal with people playing two roles, behaving one way on the surface, while secretly behaving in a way quite opposite to the first. This song is a good example. Another is on his solo album, Walk Into Light, where the song "Trains" goes, "See the blue suit banker in the ticket line. Got an Evening Standard with Playboy hidden behind."
