[00:00:00] A Passion Play (Edit No 9)-Jethro Tull

[00:00:01] ``do you still see me even here?

[00:00:01] (the silver cord lies on the ground.)

[00:00:03] ``and so I'm dead, the young man said ---over the hill

[00:00:06] (not a wish away).

[00:00:07] My friends (as one)all stand aligned although their taxis came

[00:00:10] Too late.

[00:00:11] There was /a rush along the fulham road.

[00:00:13] There was /a hush in the passion play.

[00:00:17] Such a sense of glowing in the aftermath /ripe with rich attainments

[00:00:20] All imagined /sad misdeeds in disarray /the sore thumb screams aloud,

[00:00:22] Echoing out of the passion play.

[00:00:23] All the old familiar choruses come crowding in a different key:

[00:00:25] Melodies decaying in sweet dissonance.

[00:00:26] There was a rush /along the fulham road /into the ever-passion play.

[00:00:28] And who comes here to wish me well?

[00:00:29] A sweetly-scented angel fell.

[00:00:34] She laid her head upon my disbelief and bathed me with her ever-smile.

[00:00:37] And with a howl across the sand I go escorted by a band of gentlemen

[00:00:40] In leather bound --no-one (but someone to be found).

[00:00:41] All along the icy wastes there are faces smiling in the gloom.

[00:00:45] Roll up roll down,

[00:00:45] Feeling unwound?--step into the viewing room.

[00:00:48] The cameras were all around.

[00:00:48] Weve got you taped --you're in the play.

[00:00:52] Heres your i.d.

[00:00:52] (ideal for identifying one and all.)

[00:00:54] Invest your life in the memory bank --ours the interest and we

[00:00:56] Thank you.

[00:00:57] The ice-cream lady wet her drawers, to see you in the passion play.

[00:01:00] Take the prize for instant pleasure

[00:01:02] Captain of the cricket team

[00:01:03] Public speaking in all weathers

[00:01:08] A knighthood from a queen.

[00:01:09] All your best friends telephones never cooled from the heat of your hand.

[00:01:12] Theres /a line in a front-page story /13 horses that also-ran.

[00:01:15] Climb in your old umbrella.

[00:01:17] Does it have a nasty tear in the dome?

[00:01:18] But /the rain only gets in sometimes and /the sun never leaves you alone.

[00:01:24] Lover of the black and white --its your first night.

[00:01:27] The passion play /goes all the way /spoils your insight.

[00:01:30] Tell me /how the babys made /how the ladys laid /why the old

[00:01:33] Dog howls in sadness.

[00:01:34] And your little sisters immaculate virginity wings away on the bony

[00:01:39] Shoulders of a young horse named george who stole surreptitiously

[00:02:11] Into her geography revision.

[00:02:33] (the examining body examined her body.)

[00:02:35] Actor of the low-high q, lets hear your view.

[00:02:37] Peek at the lines upon your sleeves since your memory won't do.

[00:02:39] Tell me /how the babys graded /how the ladys faded /why the old dogs

[00:02:42] Howl with madness.

[00:02:43] All of this and some of thats the only way to skin the cat.

[00:02:49] And now youve lost a skin or two --you're for us and we for you.

[00:02:53] The dressing room is right behind

[00:02:54] Weve got you taped --you're in the play.

[00:02:56] How does it feel to be in the play?

[00:02:57] How does it feel to play the play?

[00:02:59] How does it feel to be the play?

[00:03:05] Man of passion rise again, we won't cross you out --for we do love

[00:03:08] You like a son --of that theres no doubt.

[00:03:09] Tell us /is it you who are here for our good cheer?

[00:03:11] Or /are we here /for the glory /for the story /for the gory satisfaction

[00:03:15] Of telling you how absolutely awful you really are?

[00:03:17] There was /a rush along the fulham road.

[00:03:19] There was /a hush in the passion play.
