Once again some awesome music from MY favorite band Jethro Tull Living in these Hard Times

Pretty appropriate for these times.

The bomb's in the china. the fat's in the fire.
There's no turkey left on the table.
The commuter's return on the six o'clock flyer
Brings no bale of hay for the stable.
Well, the light, it is failing along the green belt
As we follow the hard road signs.
Semi-detached in our suburban-ness ---
We're living in these hard times.

Well the fly's in the milk and the cat's in the stew.
Another bun in the oven --- oh, what to do?
We'll laugh and we'll sing and try to bring
A pound from your pocket.
Good day to you.
Oh, these hard times.

The politicians sat on the wall
And traded with the union game.
Someone slapped a writ on our deficit ---
Not a penny left to our name.
Oh, the times are hard and the credits lean,
And they toss and they turn in sleep.
And the line they take is the line they make ---
But it's not the line they keep.

The cow jumped over yesterday's moon
And the lock ran away with the key.
You know what you like, and you like what you know
But there is no jam for tea.
Well the light it is failing along the green belt
As we follow the hard road signs.
Semi-detached in our suburban-ness ---
We're living in these hard times.

Cool lyrics.

I saw Tull in concert in the early 80's.. (Ah the early 80's oh what fun...)

ME... I must say that 99.5% of the time I listen to the "symphony of silence". ;)
Yes, I actually drive long distances with the radio off....

The other .5 percent of the time I am pretty eclectic. Everything from Bluegrass to gangster rap. Also been known to enjoy classic rock from the about 1965 to 1985. YES, Police, Super tramp, Floyd, Greatful dead, Tull. That kind of stuff.

Never did care for "down" coffee music of the 90's.
