Testo Thick as a Brick - Martin Barre
Testo della canzone Thick as a Brick (Martin Barre), tratta dall'album Order of Play
The poet and the painter
Casting shadows on the water
As the sun plays on the infantry
Returning from the sea
The doer and the thinker
No allowance for the other
As the failing light illuminates
The mercenary's creed
The home fire burning
The kettle almost boiling
But the master of the house is far away
The horses stamping
Their warm breath clouding
In the sharp and frosty morning of the day
And the poet lifts his pen
While the soldier sheathes his sword
And the youngest of the family
Is moving with authority
Building castles by the sea
He dares the tardy tide
To wash them all aside
I see you shuffle in the courtroom
With your rings upon your fingers
And your downy little ties
And your silver-buckled shoes
Playing at the hard case
You follow the example
Of your comic paper idols
And the litany of their rules
So come on you childhood heroes
Won't you rise up from the pages
Of your comic books, your super crooks
And throw us all away
Come make your will and testament
Won't you join your love-cuck aftermath?
We'll have Superman for president
Let Robin save the day
You put your bets on number one
And he comes up every time
The other kids have all backed down
And they put you first in line
And where the hell is Bagels?
When you needed him this Saturday
And where are all the sportsmen
Who always pull you through?
They're all resting down in Cornwall
Collecting up their memoirs
For a paperback edition
Of the Boy Scout Manual
