Thick as a Brick (Edit No 1) Songtext
von Jethro Tull

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
Then 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 sun tan 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 say it′s a shame

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
