Testo Swing It Far - Ian Anderson
Testo della canzone Swing It Far (Ian Anderson), tratta dall'album Thick As A Brick 2
I was no good on the rugby field
Pushing and kicking, brutish boys bothered me
Sensitive and caring seemed the lighter, brighter way to be
Mr. Jennings, good housemaster, seemed instinctively to understand
Touched me with his gentle presence, under bedclothes, underhand
Underhand
Overnight he did a runner, threatened with harsh exposé
I fell to pieces, dropped out of classes, into life's endless melee
Endless melee
Parents listened, didn't get it
Puffed up Jesse, "Daddy's sad"
Mummy tried but fussed and fretted
Skeleton's best left under bed
Under the bed
Camden Market in the winter
A cold stone's throw from Kentish Town
Got a minute? "Just the ticket"
Meet the boys and mess around
And mess around
Independence, far from suburbia
Dust down and dirty, tucked up tight
How's your father? "Not too chipper"
Serves the bugger flipping right
Flipping right
Parents listened, didn't get it
Puffed up Jesse, "Daddy's sad"
Mummy tried but fussed and fretted
Skeleton's best left under bed
On the streets, a rare survival
Hot like-minded overtures
Sad departures, sweet arrival
If you don't like it, write up yours
There comes a point when deep conviction
Bears down hard on who you are
Pointless to don cloak of denial
Get the lead out and swing it far
Swing it far
Swing it far
Swing it far
Swing it far
Swing it
