Aqualung - Jethro Tull

God and his priests and his kings All were waiting All will wait As they go over, mm, mm Held between heaven and hell As they're dancing As they dance over and over Over Cold Cold Crimson and bare as I stand Yours completely Yours As we go over Sing for the lion and lamb Their hearts are hunting Still hearts hold ever and ever Ever Cold Cold God and his priests and his kings Turn their faces Even they feel the cold, oh What you are given Can't be forgotten And never forsaken What you are given Can't be forgotten And never forsaken What you are given Can't be forgotten Cold, cold

I never understood before I never knew what love was for My heart was broke, my head was sore What a feeling Tied up in ancient history I didn't believe in destiny I look up, you're standing next to me What a feeling What a feeling in my soul Love burns brighter than sunshine Brighter than sunshine Let the rain fall, I don't care I'm yours, and suddenly you're mine Suddenly, you're mine And it's brighter than sunshine I never saw it happening I'd given up and given in I just couldn't take the hurt again What a feeling I didn't have the strength to fight Suddenly, you seemed so right Me and you What a feeling What a feeling in my soul Love burns brighter than sunshine It's brighter than sunshine Let the rain fall, I don't care I'm yours, and suddenly you're mine Suddenly, you're mine And it's brighter than the sun It's brighter than the sun It's brighter than the sun, sunshine Love will remain a mystery But give me your hand, and you will see Your heart is keeping time with me What a feeling in my soul Love burns brighter than sunshine It's brighter than sunshine Let the rain fall, I don't care I'm yours, and suddenly you're mine Suddenly, you're mine I got a feeling in my soul Love burns brighter than sunshine Brighter than sunshine Let the rain fall, I don't care I'm yours, and suddenly you're mine Suddenly, you're mine I got a feeling in my soul Love burns brighter than sunshine It's brighter than sunshine Let the rain fall, I don't care I'm yours, and suddenly you're mine Suddenly, you're mine And it's brighter than sunshine

Don't want to be a fat man People would think that I was just good fun, man Would rather be a thin man I am so glad to go on being one, man Too much to carry around with you No chance of finding a woman, who Will love you in the morning and all the nighttime too Don't want to be a fat man Have not the patience to ignore all that Hate to admit to myself I thought my problems came from being fat Won't waste my time feeling sorry for him I've seen the other side to being thin Roll us both down a mountain and I'm sure the fat man would win

Along the coast road, by the headland The early lights of winter glow I'll pour a cup to you, my darling And raise it up, say, "Cheerio"

From early days of infancy, through trembling years of youth Long murky middle age and final hours long in the tooth Here's the hundred names of terror, creature you love the least Picture his name before you and exorcise the beast He roved up and down through history, spectre with tales to tell In the darkness when the campfire's dead, to each his private hell If you look behind your shoulder as you feel his eyes to feast You can witness now the everchanging nature of the beast Beastie, beastie, beastie, beastie If you wear a warmer sporran, you can keep the foe at bay You can pop those pills and visit some psychiatrist who'll say "There's nothing I can do for you, everywhere's a danger zone I'd love to help get rid of it but I've got one of my own" Beastie, there's a beast upon my shoulder Beastie, and a fiend upon my back Beastie, feel his burning breath a-heaving Beastie, smoke oozing from his stack And he moves beneath the covers Beastie, or he lies below the bed Beastie, he's the beast upon your shoulder Beastie, and he's the price upon your head He's the lonely fear of dying and for some of living too He's your private nightmare pricking, he'd just love to turn the screw So stand as one defiant, yes and let your voices swell Stare that beastie in the face and really give him hell Beastie, there's a beast upon my shoulder Beastie, and a fiend upon my back Beastie, feel his burning breath a-heaving Beastie, smoke oozing from his stack Beastie, and he moves beneath the covers Beastie, or he lies below the bed Beastie, he's the beast upon your shoulder Beastie, and he's the price upon your head Look out, look out
