Lyric/Letra

A walk on the quiet side, late in the day --

Don't mean to get in anybody's way.

The Gods seem willing: sun's in the sky.

Old crows cawing as the straight crows fly.

There was a time when love was the law.

There was a time for the tooth and the claw.

Last rites given, no holds barred.

Heaven Express on my credit card.

Now let me draw the jungle line --

I won't cross yours if you don't cross mine.

Won't make trouble, I don't need no fuss.

But I'm wounded, old and I'm treacherous.

Allow me to draw the jungle line --

you cross it once, you cross some friends of mine.

They won't make trouble, they don't need no fuss

but they're wounded, old and they're treacherous.

In the crisp of evening, on sacred ground --

Ghosts of fathers pushing moonbeams round.

Big cats prowling inside your head --

They left for China; better left for dead.

Let me draw the jungle line --

I won't cross yours if you don't cross mine.

Won't make trouble, I don't need no fuss.

But I'm wounded, old and I'm treacherous.

A walk on the quiet side, late in the day --

Don't mean to get in anybody's way.

The Gods seem willing: sun's in the sky.

Old crows cawing as the straight crows fly.

There was a time when love was the law.

There was a time for the tooth and the claw.

Last rites given, no holds barred.

Heaven Express on my credit card.

Living mountains going to shake that town --

Big mother calling you from underground.

She don't want trouble, she don't need no fuss.

But she's wounded, old and treacherous.

RtB is (in my opinion) Tull's best since 1972. I was not one who found the egotism of Minstrel, SftW, or any of that ilk to be worthy of the first four years of the band. But along comes 1995, and whoa! Ian found his voice, both literally and figuratively.

One of my favourite of JTs later songs ~ not for the lyrics, but the amazing music. That flute-work is astounding!

Great song, full of creativity. I like the introduction, and the following flute accelerations and crescendi, then the flute calms down and almost follows a blues notes pattern. Well done, Ian and band.!!!! This is one of my most favorite songs, I never get tired of listening to it. I just love the contrasts and different moods coming out.

A blind person would enjoy this video, (no offense intended). Roots to Branches in the Top 5 of Tull classics. Wish there was a video of this
