Two short genius songs from the album Aqualung. They are not normally together, but it sounds well like that think...

On Preston platform

Do your soft shoe shuffle dance.

Brush away the cigarette ash that's

Falling down your pants.

And you sadly wonder

Does the nurse treat your old man

The way she should.

She made you tea,

Asked for your autograph --

What a laugh.

Wond'ring aloud --

How we feel today.

Last night sipped the sunset --

My hands in her hair.

We are our own saviours

As we start both our hearts beating life

Into each other.

Wond'ring aloud --

Will the years treat us well.

As she floats in the kitchen,

I'm tasting the smell

Of toast as the butter runs.

Then she comes, spilling crumbs on the bed

And I shake my head.

And it's only the giving

That makes you what you are.

My first big boy concert was Jethro Tull in the Greensboro Coliseum in 1973. He was phenomenal.. We were just lint haired mill hands. I had not yet seen a play or a ballet or anything of a highly theatrical nature.So it was a treat to see Tull who incorporated those elements into the show. *Cheap Day Return/Wondering Aloud* On Preston platformDo your soft shoe shuffle danceBrush away the cigarette ashThats falling down your pantsAnd then you sadly wonderDoes the nurse treat your old manThe way she shouldShe made you teaAsked for your autographWhat a laugh☂☂Wond'ring aloud --How we feel today.Last night sipped the sunset --My hands in her hair.We are our own savioursAs we start both our hearts beating lifeInto each other.Wond'ring aloud --Will the years treat us well.As she floats in the kitchen,I'm tasting the smellOf toast as the butter runs.Then she comes, spilling crumbs on the bedAnd I shake my head.And it's only the givingThat makes you what you are.Read more: Jethro Tull - Cheap Day Return Lyrics | MetroLyrics

First, great great music of course. All are right, who say, that "Cheap Day Return" is most underrated. Now to rabi - considering that your question was serious. In this song Ian describes a moment on a railway station when returning from his ill father lying in hospital. The nurse caring for him asked Ian for an autograph. As he sings that he is sadly wondering, he seemed not to be to happy with the situarion, because of the sorrow for his father. Another song about that personal theme is "Nursie" ''wondring aloud has in my eyes one of the greatest lines in rock history "Its only the giving that makes you what you are"

Tull at their best were as good as anyone, and this is definitely Tull at their best!

Another piece by Jethro Tull that would fit this set is "March the Mad Scientist". Tull created a sound, particularly in their acoustic guitar based songs, that was nothing short of magical. Their music transports me still.

I think Ian Anderson is one of the most underated vocalists of rock music. Love these two songs!

@Choefoe... one must give vent to creative urges, a denial of blessing greatly and rightfully so much angers the Gods..if one doesn't use it as a tool, the fates turn it upon you as a weapon ....breath in, breath out ; )
