Here's more interesting things in songs and lyrics tied to Jethro Tull or about the 1960s in general.
My telephone wakes me in the morning —
have to get up to answer the call.
So I think I’ll go back to the family
where no one can ring me at all.
Living this life has its problems
so I think that I’ll give it a break.
Oh, I’m going back to the family
`cos I’ve had about all I can take.
Master’s in the counting house
counting all his money.
Sister’s sitting by the mirror —
she thinks her hair looks funny.
And here am I thinking to myself
just wond’ring what things to do.
I think I enjoyed all my problems
Where I did not get nothing for free.
Oh, I’m going back to the family —
doing nothing is bothering me.
I’ll get a train back to the city
that soft life is getting me down.
There’s more fun away from the family
get some action when I pull into town.
Everything I do is wrong,
what the hell was I thinking?
Phone keeps ringing all day long
I got no time for thinking.
And every day has the same old way
of giving me too much to do.
