Jethro Tull Mashup





As I did walk by Hampstead Fair
I came upon Mother Goose 
So I turned her loose
She was screaming

And a foreign student said to me
Was it really true there elephants and lions too in Picadilly Circus

Walked down by the bathing pond to try and catch some sun
Saw at least a hundred schoolgirls sobbing into handkerchiefs as one
I don't believe they knew I was a schoolboy

And a bearded lady said to me
If you start your raving, and your misbehaving
You'll be sorry

Then the chicken-fancier came to play
With his long red beard and his sister's weird, she drives a lorry

Laughed down by the putting green
I popped em in their holes
Four and twenty laborers were laboring
And digging up their gold
I don't believe they knew that I was Long John Silver

Saw Johnny Scarecrow make his rounds in his jet-black 'mac 
Which he won't give back
Stole it from a snowman

As I did walk by Hampstead Fair
I came upon Mother Goose 
So I turned her loose
But she was screaming

Walked down by the bathing pond to try and catch some sun
Must of been at least a hundred schoolgirls sobbing into handkerchiefs as one
I don't believe they knew I was a schoolboy



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

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

Wondering aloud 
How we feel today
Last night sipped the sunset 
My hand in her hair

We are our own saviours
As we start both our hearts beating life 
Into each other

Wondering 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

Capo off

Em 

In the shuffling madness
of the Locomotive Breath
Runs the all-time loser
Headlong to his death
Oh, he feels the piston scraping
Steam breaking on his brow

Old Charlie stole the handle
And the train it won't stop going
No way to slow down
 
He sees his children jumping off
At the stations one by one
His woman and his best friend
In bed and having fun
Oh, he's crawling down the corridor
On his hands and knees

Old Charlie stole the handle
And the train it won't stop going
No way to slow down
 
He hears the silence howling
Catches angels as they fall
And the all-time winner
Has got him by the balls
Oh, he picks up Gideons Bible
Open at Page One

I think God He stole the handle
And the train it won't stop going
No way to slow down
No way to slow down
No way to slow down
No way to slow down
No way to slow down
No way to slow down
