Thick as a Brick by Jethro Tull


Goofy dude, semi goofy song. Fun to listen to and watch no doubt;) "My words but a whisper, your deafness a shout..."

Really don't mind if you sit this one out 
My words 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  

And you make all your animal deals  
And your wise men don't know how it feels 
To be thick as a brick
 

And the sand castle 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 suntan 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 that 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
