In honor of the 50th anniversary of the album (and song) "Aqualung" by Jethro Tull, here is the band performing live at Madison Square Garden in New York City, 1978.


Sitting on the park bench
Eyeing little girls with bad intent.
Snot is running down his nose
Greasy fingers smearing shabby clothes.

Hey Aqualung
Drying in the cold sun
Watching as the frilly panties run.
Hey Aqualung
Feeling like a dead duck
Spitting out pieces of his broken luck.
Whoa, Aqualung

Sun streaking cold
An old man wandering lonely.
Taking time
The only way he knows.
Leg hurting bad,
As he bends to pick a dog-end
He goes down to the bog
And warms his feet.

Feeling alone
The army's up the road
Salvation à la mode and a cup of tea

Aqualung my friend
Don't you start away uneasy
You poor old sot, you see, it's only me.

Do you still remember
The December's foggy freeze
When the ice that
Clings on to your beard was
Screaming agony.
And you snatch your rattling last breaths
With deep-sea-diver sounds,
And the flowers bloom like
Madness in the spring.

Sun streaking cold
An old man wandering lonely.
Taking time
The only way he knows.
Leg hurting bad,
As he bends to pick a dog-end
He goes down to the bog
And warms his feet.

Feeling alone
The army's up the road
Salvation à la mode and a cup of tea

Aqualung my friend
Don't you start away uneasy
You poor old sot, you see, it's only me.

Aqualung my friend
Don't you start away uneasy
You poor old sot, you see, it's only me.

Greasy fingers smearing shabby clothes.

Hey Aqualung
Drying in the cold sun

Spitting out pieces of his broken luck.
Hey Aqualung

Whoa, Aqualung
 
I just have to share this with you. We had a live concert in our house today with Italian and a bit of South American music by the band NapoliLatina.
It was so wonderful to experience it today on this although cold, but sunny Easter Sunday. I made a little montage for you....
As we were all watching from our pergolas, it was totally corona compliant. I so enjoy living in a house where something like this is possible. It was a great change in the middle of the dreary corona world with all its rules and regulations. :cheer:

 
This oldie really hit me tonight. Classic, can't believe I had forgotten about this song, and God so pertinent today.

Depeche Mode - Stripped

Come with me
Into the trees
We'll lay on the grass
And let the hours pass

Take my hand
Come back to the land
Let's get away
Just for one day

Let me see you
Stripped down to the bone
Let me see you
Stripped down to the bone

Metropolis
Has nothing on this
You're breathing in fumes
I taste when we kiss

Take my hand
Come back to the land
Where everything's ours
For a few hours

Let me see you
Stripped down to the bone
Let me see you
Stripped down to the bone

Let me hear you make decisions
Without your television
Let me hear you speaking
Just for me


Let me see you
Stripped down to the bone
Let me hear you speaking
Just for me

Let me see you
Stripped down to the bone
Let me hear you crying
Just for me

Let me see you
Stripped down to the bone
Let me hear you speaking
Just for me
 
California Sunshine - Deja Vu


For the longest time I didn't want to believe it
And then I saw the fields with my own eyes
Watched them liquefy the dead
So they could be fed intravenously to the living

Do you believe?
Do you think that's air you're breathing?
I can only show you the door
You're the one who has to walk through it

- Déjà vu
- What did you say?
- Nothing, just Déjà vu
- Again!
 
I love her voice ❤️


We will burn the both of us
In hell, my angel
I've planned our goodbyes
To the earth, my angel
And I want to leave with you
I want to die in your arms

[Chorus]
Let the sea eat our bodies, ah
Let the salt wash our hearts, ah
I will still love you
I will still love you
Ah, I will still love you
I will still love you


I apologise to the gods
To my mother and her praises
I know all the prayers
All the wishes for it to change
But I want to leave with you
I want to die in your arms

[Chorus]
Let the sea eat our bodies, ah
Let the salt wash our hearts, ah
I will still love you
I will still love you
Ah, I will still love you
I will still love you



We will burn the both of us
In hell, my angel
You can write your goodbye
To the earth, my angel
Because I want to leave with you
I want to die in your arms

[Chorus]
If the sea eats our bodies, ah
If the salt stings our hearts, ah
I will still love you
I will still love you
Ah, I will still love you
I will still love you
