And you probably didn't realize you were singing about the
plight of the homeless as you played air guitar.......

Aqualung

Sitting on a park bench --
eyeing little 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.
Hey 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 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.

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.

De de de de, de de de de de de de
Aqualung my friend -- don't start away uneasy
you poor old sod, you see, it's only me.

Sitting on a park bench --
eyeing little 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.

Oh Aqualung!
Oh oh Aqualung!

Ian Anderson - circa 1971
