Surprisingly for my age... I was a little late in being a Tull fan.

It wasn't until the album AQUALUNG came out w/ the FM airplay that I 1st listened in.

(Tull already had 3 albums out prior to Aqualung coming out in 1971.)

Neat factoid... Tony Iommi of Black Sabbath was the guitarist for a year in '68!

Lot of great tracks in that album...

But the title track got my attention first.

Aqualung...

Never argue with an idiot. They will only bring you down to their level and beat you with experience.

Sitting on a park bench
Eying little girls with bad intent
Snots running down his nose
Greasy fingers smearing shabby clothes, hey, Aqualung
 

Never argue with an idiot. They will only bring you down to their level and beat you with experience.

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, oh, Aqualung

Never argue with an idiot. They will only bring you down to their level and beat you with experience.

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 a bog and warms his feet

Never argue with an idiot. They will only bring you down to their level and beat you with experience.

Feeling alone, the army's up the road
Salvation a la mode and a cup of tea
Aqualung, my friend, don't you start away uneasy
You poor old sod, you see it's only me

Never argue with an idiot. They will only bring you down to their level and beat you with experience.

Do you still remember
December's foggy freeze
When the ice that clings on to your beard
It was screaming agony

Never argue with an idiot. They will only bring you down to their level and beat you with experience.

Hey and you snatch your rattling last breaths
With deep-sea diver sounds
And the flowers bloom like
Madness in the spring

Never argue with an idiot. They will only bring you down to their level and beat you with experience.

Which brings up the 5th album from Jethro Tull that was(imho)AMAZING... Thick as a Brick.

Virtually an album which had one song, divided into 2 parts that covered each side.

Thick as a Brick Part 1

Really don't mind if you sit this one out
My word's but a whisper your deafness a shout
I may make you feel but I can't make you think
Your sperm's in the gutter your love's in the sink
So you ride yourselves over the fields
And you make all your animal deals
And your wise men don't know how it feels
To be thick as a brick

Never argue with an idiot. They will only bring you down to their level and beat you with experience.

And the sandcastle virtues are all swept away
In the tidal destruction the moral melee
The elastic retreat rings the close of play
As the last wave uncovers the newfangled way
But your new shoes are worn at the heels
And your suntan does rapidly peel
And your wise men don't know how it feels
To be thick as a brick
And the love that I feel is so far away:
I'm a bad dream that I just had today
And you shake your head
And said it's a shame

Never argue with an idiot. They will only bring you down to their level and beat you with experience.

Spin me back down the years and the days of my youth
Draw the lace and black curtains and shut out the whole truth
Spin me down the long ages, let them sing the song

Never argue with an idiot. They will only bring you down to their level and beat you with experience.

See there, a son is born and we pronounce him fit to fight
There are blackheads on his shoulders, and he pees himself in the night
We'll make a man of him, put him to trade
Teach him to play Monopoly and how to sing in the rain

Never argue with an idiot. They will only bring you down to their level and beat you with experience.

The poet and the painter casting shadows on the water
As the sun plays on the infantry returning from the sea
The do-er and the thinker, no allowance for the other
As the failing light illuminates the mercenary's creed
The home fire burning, the kettle almost boiling
But the master of the house is far away
The horses stamping, their warm breath clouding
In the sharp and frosty morning of the day
And the poet lifts his pen while the soldier sheaths his sword
And the youngest of the family is moving with authority
Building castles by the sea, he dares the tardy tide to wash them all aside

Never argue with an idiot. They will only bring you down to their level and beat you with experience.

The cattle quietly grazing at the grass down by the river
Where the swelling mountain water moves onward to the sea:
The builder of the castles renews the age-old purpose
And contemplates the milking girl whose offer is his need
The young men of the household have all gone into service
And are not to be expected for a year
The innocent young master, thoughts moving ever faster
Has formed the plan to change the man he seems
And the poet sheaths his pen while the soldier lifts his sword
And the oldest of the family is moving with authority
Coming from across the sea, he challenges the son
Who puts him to the run

Never argue with an idiot. They will only bring you down to their level and beat you with experience.

What do you do when the old man's gone, ddo you want to be him?
And your real self sings the song, do you want to free him?
No one to help you get up steam
And the whirlpool turns you way off-beam

Never argue with an idiot. They will only bring you down to their level and beat you with experience.

I've come down from the upper class to mend your rotten ways
My father was a man of power whom everyone obeyed
So come on all you criminals! I've got to put you straight
Just like I did with my old man twenty years too late

Never argue with an idiot. They will only bring you down to their level and beat you with experience.

Your bread and water's going cold, your hair is short and neat
I'll judge you all and make damn sure that no-one judges me

Never argue with an idiot. They will only bring you down to their level and beat you with experience.

Posted

You curl your toes in fun as you smile at everyone
You meet the stares, you're unaware that your doings aren't done
And you laugh most ruthlessly as you tell us what not to be
But how are we supposed to see where we should run?

Never argue with an idiot. They will only bring you down to their level and beat you with experience.
