Live version of From A Dead Beat To An Old Greaser from the live album A Little Light Music. Originally appeared on the album Too Old To Rock and Roll Too Young To Die in 1976.

Lyrics -From a dead beat to an old greaser, here's thinking of you.

You won't remember the long nights;

coffee bars; black tights and white thighs

in shop windows where blonde assistants fully-fashioned a world made

of dummies (with no mummies or daddies to reject them).

When bombs were banned every Sunday and the Shadows played F.B.I.

And tired young sax-players sold their instruments of torture

sat in the station, sharing wet dreams of Charlie Parker,

Jack Kerouac, René Magritte, to name a few of the heroes

who were too wise for their own good left the young brood to

go on living without them.

Old queers with young faces who remember your name,

though you're a dead beat with tired feet;

two ends that don't meet.

To a dead beat from an old greaser.

Think you must have me all wrong.

I didn't care, friend. I wasn't there, friend,

If it's the price of pint that you need, ask me again.

'I didn't care friend - I wasn't their (there) friend' - great double meaning. Still hardly anybody listening to it though ... Shame.

Love this so much - with one of the greatest changes of beat/texture and lead guitar solos (Martin Barre) in Rock History. Yes there have been faster but never one so economical and licked with such wicked passion. This is a Master Class in how electric can be combined with Accoustic. Listen and Learn.

Classic Martin Barre solo (one of the best ever) - as for meaning see perceptive comment by Peacejoneson on historic Utube video posting by BenRossington.

Quite appropriate- these lyrics considering 'Tull's present ageing status. Fabulous song though - one of my favourties with the architypal change of beat/soaring lead guitar solo of all times. What defines Tull (besides his flute)?- fantastic changes of beat and dynamics- nobody comes near them for that and today's bands simply dont get it and could learn a lesson by sitting (or listening) at their feet (or rather his foot if hes standing only on one leg -not much of that though these days)

Can someone, probably a natively British person, explain what this song is all about? Cause i *admire* this song but, i realy don't get it except some fragments which have contextual but not an halo meaning.

Well, along with the other one you just posted, that's 10********** !! A combination with all your Tull uploads - loyalty vote, the music isn't bad (although some of it isn't good, but NOTHING like the depths that ELP sank to), and I've got a soft spot for Ian Anderson - and of course he's Scottish ! There are a handful of songs I really like that are on "Living In The Past". I should be listening to them, but sorry I'm too busy with the likes of the Buzzcocks ! BOREDOM, BOREDOM, BOREDOM...

Very cool video, Aqua! And an excellent song choice as well. I was so thrilled when Tull decided to do this little acoustic spotlight on their past tunes (even though it turned out to NOT be as 100% acoustic as one might've suspected). Getting to hear this song, along with live versions of "Life's A Long Song", "Nursie", "A Christmas Song", "Rocks On The Road" (with that impeccable extended flute solo) was truly wonderful -- along with their distinctive Bluesy arrangement of "John Barleycorn".
