[00:04:17] Minstrel In The Gallery - Jethro Tull

[00:04:17] The minstrel in the gallery looked down upon the

[00:04:17] Smiling faces.

[00:04:17] He met the gazes --- observed the spaces between the

[00:04:17] Old mens cackle.

[00:04:17] He brewed a song of love and hatred --- oblique

[00:04:17] Suggestions --- and he waited.

[00:04:17] He polarized the pumpkin-eaters --- static-humming

[00:04:17] Panel-beaters --- freshly day-glowd factory cheaters

[00:04:17] (salaried and collar-scrubbing).

[00:04:17] He titillated men-of-action --- belly warming, hands

[00:04:17] Still rubbing on the parts they never mention.

[00:04:17] He pacified the nappy-suffering, infant-bleating

[00:04:17] One-line jokers --- t.v. documentary makers

[00:04:17] (overfed and undertakers).

[00:04:17] Sunday paper backgammon players --- family-scarred

[00:04:17] And women-haters.

[00:04:17] Then he called the band down to the stage and he

[00:04:17] Looked at all the friends hed made.

[00:04:17] The minstrel in the gallery looked down on the

[00:04:17] Rabbit-run.

[00:04:17] And threw away his looking-glass - saw his face in

[00:04:17] Everyone.
