aqualung

bir jethro tull saheseri. ayni zamanda bir albumune ismini veren sarkidir. pek guzeldir...

sitting on a park bench --
eyeing ittle girls with bad intent.
snot running down his nose --
greasy fingers smearing shabby clothes.
drying in the cold sun --
watching as the frilly panties run.
feeling like a dead duck --
spitting out pieces of his broken luck.
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 rode
salvation à la mode and
a cup of tea.
aqualung my friend --
don’t start away uneasy
you poor old sod, you see, it’s only me.
do you still remember
december’s foggy freeze --
when the ice that
clings on to your beard is
screaming agony.
and you snatch your rattling last breaths
with deep-sea-diver sounds,
and the flowers bloom like
madness in the spring.

efsane bir vokali ve solosu vardır, harikadır, aşmış bir şarkıdır.

özellikle "aqualung my friend don’t start away uneasy
you poor old sod, you see, it’s only me.
do you still remember" kısmında ağlamak geliyor bünyeye ama "do you still remember" öyle bir giriyorki çökelekten ayağa kalkmış insan gibi afallıyoruz.
