Wond'ring aloud --
How we feel today
Last night sipped the sunset --
My hand in her hair
We are our own saviours
As we start both our hearts beating life
Into each other
Wond'ring aloud --
Will the years treat us well
As she floats in the kitchen
I'm tasting the smell, yeah
Of toast as the butter runs
Then she comes, spilling crumbs on the bed
And I shake my head
And it's only the giving
That makes you what you are
Jethro Tull
Track 5 on Aqualung
Produced by
Terry Ellis & Ian Anderson
It occurred to me as I took this photo that I did the ink drawing of Aqualung when I was 17 which means it's 51 years old, which means it's an antique, which means I'm 18 years older than an antique!! :(
Be careful what you hope and you pray for,
you know you only get what you pay for.
And I can hear the ticking of timebombs
The clock strikes,
it's midnight,
for poor Cinderella...
Re-posted with respect for Memorial Day weekend.
Whenever I get to feel this way
Try to find new words to say
I think about the bad old days
We used to know
Nights of winter turn me cold
Fears of dying, getting old
We ran the race, the race was won
By running slowly
Could be soon we'll cease to sound
Slowly upstairs, faster down
Then to revisit stony grounds
We used to know
Remembering mornings, shillings spent
Made no sense to leave the bed
The bad old days they came and went
Giving way to fruitful years
Saving up the birds in hand
While in the bush the others land
Take what we can before the man
Says it's time to go
Each to his own way I'll go mine
Best of luck with what you find
But for your own sake remember times
We used to know.

People, what have you done
Locked Him in His golden cage
Golden cage
Made Him bend to your religion
Him resurrected from the grave
From the grave
He is the God of nothing
If that's all that you can see
You are the God of everything
He's inside you and me
So lean upon Him gently
And don't call on Him to save you
From your social graces
And the sins you used waive
You used to waive
The bloody Church of England
In chains of history
Requests your earthly presence at
The vicarage for tea
And the graven image you know
With His plastic crucifix
He's got him fixed
Confuses me as to who and where and why
As to how he gets his kicks
He gets his kicks
Confessing to the endless sin
The endless whining sounds
You'll be praying 'til next Thursday to
All the Gods that you can count

Aqualung's plan of casing the Manor House for "New Shinies" didn't go quite to plan. Looks like they 'bit off more than they can chew' ! :D
You'll hear me calling in your sweet dream,
Can't hear your daddy's warning cry.
You're going back to be all the things you want to be
While in sweet dreams you softly sigh.
You hear my voice is calling to be mine again,
Live the rest of your life in a day.
Get out and get what you can
While your mummy's at home a-sleeping.
No time to understand
'Cause they've lost what they thought they were keeping.
No one can hear us in your sweet dream,
Don't hear you leave to start the car.
All wrapped up tightly in the coat you borrowed from me,
Your place of resting is not far.
You hear my voice is calling to be mine again,
Live the rest of your life in a day.
Get out and get what you can
While your mummy's at home a-sleeping.
No time to understand
'Cause they've lost what they thought they were keeping.

We picked a great time of year to go to Yellowstone the wildflowers we in bloom and all the animals were out. We had a lot of great opportunities for some awesome shots.
CD Pick of the day: JethroTull-Aqualung
especially for Job W.K - , who asked me for a picture matching the song Aqualung.
Reminds me this picture .... (reworked)
this picture was taken with respect.
Sunstreaking cold, an old man wandering lonely,
Taking time the only way he knows.
Leg hurting bad, as he bends to pick a dog end,
He goes down to the bog and warms his feet.
Feeling alone, the army's up the road,
Salvation a-la mode and a cup of tea...
Aqualung my friend, don't you start away uneasy?
You poor old sod, you see it's only me...
...sometimes, the last thing you want comes in first, sometimes, the first thing you want never comes, the waiting is all you can do, sometimes... (Aqualung)...
...stills from our pseudo photoshoot...

Stand and deliver!
I'm the dandy highwayman who you're too scared to mention
I spend my cash on looking flash and grabbing your attention
The devil take your stereo and your record collection! (oh-oh)
The way you look you'll qualify for next year's old age pension!
Stand and deliver your money or your life!
Try and use a mirror no bullet or a knife!
I'm the dandy highwayman so sick of easy fashion
The clumsy boots, peek-a-boo roots that people think so dashing
So what's the point of robbery when nothing is worth taking? (oh oh)
It's kind of tough to tell a scruff the big mistake he's making
Stand and deliver your money or your life!
Try and use a mirror no bullet or a knife!
And even though you fool your soul
Your conscience will be mine
All mine
We're the dandy highwaymen so tired of excuses
Of deep meaning philosophies where only showbiz loses
We're the dandy highwaymen and here's our invitation (oh oh)
"Throw your safety overboard and join our insect nation"
Stand and deliver your money or your life!
Try and use a mirror no bullet or a knife!
And even though you fool your soul
Your conscience will be mine
All mine
Qua qua da diddley qua qua da diddley
Qua qua da diddley qua qua da diddley
Stand and deliver your money or your life!
Stand and deliver your money or your life!

As the dawn sun breaks over sleepy gardens
I'll be here to do all things to comfort you.
And though I've been away
Left you alone this way
Why don't you come awake
And let your first smile take me home.
The shadows in the park were longer yesterday
And Lady Luck stood still, waiting for the kill.
And on a jumbo ride
Over seas grey, deep and wide
I flew for heaven's sake
And let the angels take me home.
Down steep and narrow lanes I see the chimneys smoking
Above the golden fields - know what the robin feels
In his summer jamboree.
All elements agree
In sweet and stormy blend
Midwife to winds that send me home.

In the shuffling madness
Of the locomotive breath,
Runs the all, time loser,
Headlong to his death
He feels the piston scraping
Steam breaking on his brow
Old Charlie stole the handle and
The train it won't stop going
No way to slow down
He sees his children jumping off
At stations, one by one
His woman and his best friend
In bed and having fun
He's crawling down the corridor
On his hands and knees
Old Charlie stole the handle and
The train it won't stop going
No way to slow down
He hears the silence howling
Catches angels as they fall
And the all-time winner
Has got him by the balls
He picks up Gideons Bible
Open at page one
I think God He stole the handle and
The train won't stop going
No way to slow down
No way to slow down
No way to slow down
No way to slow down
No way to slow down
No way to slow down
No way to slow down
No way to slow down

With the vampire dispatched and the village back to normal again , the Town Council were over the moon and awarded our heroes with a decent sized bag of coin and an all expenses paid week at up market Netherwood. Aqualung tried his hand at fishing, while Mary practised busting out her dance moves all day in her new dress.
As a bonus the Council while not being able to offer them the manor house which Aqualung had tried to pass off as his own having swiped the deeds, (along with a sizeable stash of vampire shinies) did offer a property that they had in a quaint village 20 miles away ….. Called PENDLE HILL ! ...Check back another time ...I think our heroes adventures, while over for now may not be at an end.

Say hello to the night
Lost in the shadows
Say hello to the night
Lost in the loneliness
Say hello to the night
Lost in the shadows
No one knows
I can't wait, I can't wait, no
When I see little lights in the shadows
One must hide when the sun gets higher
I don't know what this madness means
Here comes the night, the bedroom in shadows
Candlelights, I don't know where it's coming from
But I, I keep moving on
Till the darkest thought makes me want to try these wings
Say hello to the night
Lost in the shadows
Say hello to the night
Lost in the loneliness
Say hello to the night
Lost in the shadows
No one knows
Loneliness pours over you
Emptiness can pull you through
Did you go to sleep with the light on?
I can't wait for this feeling to free me
Wind blows hard, but it doesn't matter
'Cause when the sun goes down
Nothing else matters, the line is where the night lies
I will wait outside her window tonight
Say hello to the night
Lost in the shadows
Say hello to the night
Lost in the loneliness
Say hello to the night
Lost in the shadows
No one knows
Loneliness pours over you
Emptiness can pull you through
Did you go to sleep with the light on?
I can't wait for this feeling to free me
Say hello to the night
Lost in the shadows
Say hello to the night
Lost in the loneliness
Say hello to the night
Lost in the shadows
No one knows

Dogs of war and men of hate
With no cause, we don't discriminate
Discovery is to be disowned
Our currency is flesh and bone
Hell opened up and put on sale
Gather 'round and haggle
For hard cash, we will lie and deceive
Even our masters don't know the web we weave
One world, it's a battleground
One world, and we will smash it down
One world, one world
Invisible transfers, long distance calls,
Hollow laughter in marble halls
Steps have been taken, a silent uproar
Has unleashed the dogs of war
You can't stop what has begun
Signed, sealed, they deliver oblivion
We all have a dark side, to say the least
And dealing in death is the nature of the beast
One world, it's a battleground
One world, and we will smash it down
One world, one world
The dogs of war don't negotiate
The dogs of war won't capitulate,
They will take and you will give,
And you must die so that they may live
You can knock at any door,
But wherever you go, you know they've been there before
Well winners can lose and things can get strained
But whatever you change, you know the dogs remain.
One world, it's a battleground
One world, and we will smash it down
One world, one world

Thou shalt not kill
Thou shalt not die
Cry!
Last fire will rise
Behind those eyes
Black house will rock
Blind boys don't lie
Immortal fear
That voice so clear
Through broken walls
That scream I hear
Cry, little sister! (Thou shalt not fall)
Come, come to your brother! (Thou shalt not die)
Unchain me, sister! (Thou shalt not fear)
Love is with your brother! (Thou shalt not kill)
Blue masquerade
Strangers look on
When will they learn
This loneliness?
Temptation heat
Beats like a drum
Deep in your veins
I will not lie
Little sister! (Thou shalt not fall)
Come, come to your brother! (Thou shalt not die)
Unchain me, sister! (Thou shalt not fear)
Love is with your brother! (Thou shalt not kill)
My Shangri-Las
I can't forget
Why you were mine
I need you now!
Cry, little sister! (Thou shalt not fall)
Come, come to your brother! (Thou shalt not die)
Unchain me, sister! (Thou shalt not fear)
Love is with your brother! (Thou shalt not kill)
Cry, little sister! (Thou shalt not fall)
Come, come to your brother! (Thou shalt not die)
Unchain me, sister! (Thou shalt not fear)

Crank it up:
Let some air in,

Why you leaving me now?
There must be some doubt in your mind,
Can't you open your heart?
Don't want to be left behind.

Don't you hate boring people ? The one thing I fear most when going out to socialise is running into someone who is boring. Not because I personally won't be entertained by what they have to say, although that may very well be the case, but because the conversation that ensues is excruciating.
They Go on and on and on and on and on and I feel like a dentist pulling teeth, searching for something interesting about them or their lives. Nevertheless, I have had no choice but to arrive at one conclusion: boring people are boring, plain and simple; no matter how many teeth you pull, they will still sound boring, but with a lisp. You WILL tell me if I am boring you, won't you ? ;)

Many thanks for the visit, faves and comments!
I've been watching your world from afar
I've been trying to be where you are
And I've been secretly falling apart
Unseen
Aqualung, Strange and Beautiful
Taken shortly before first light, the frozen waters around Vestrahorn cracking and moving with the incoming tide as the early morning sea mist rolled across the base of the mountain. A much longer exposure than the previous image with pretty much only one chance to catch this transition before my position near the edge of the ice became untenable. Within 15 minutes, this scene had completely changed and we were shrouded in a dense white fog, all sound deadened.
It’s not perfect- I would have liked to have been a few more steps forward to separate the reflection of the mountain top from the edge of the ice flow a little more. But it was quite chilly. And I hadn’t packed my swim goggles.
Strange and beautiful.
Jasper taking in the beauty at the Phoenix Desert Botanical Garden.
Unfortunately, every time I see Jasper sitting on a park bench, the lyric from Jethro Tull's Aqualung runs through my head. The lyrics are a bit dark for Jasper's personality. But I try not to let my mind go past the lyric "sitting on a park bench"
As I did walk by Hampstead Fair
I came upon Mother Goose
So I turned her loose
She was screaming
And a foreign student said to me
Was it really true there elephants and lions too in Picadilly Circus?
Walked down by the bathing pond to try and catch some sun
Saw at least a hundred schoolgirls sobbing into handkerchiefs as one
I don't believe they knew I was a schoolboy
And a bearded lady said to me
If you start your raving, and your misbehaving
You'll be sorry
Then the chicken-fancier came to play
With his long red beard and his sister's weird, she drives a lorry
Laughed down by the putting green
I popped 'em in their holes
Four and twenty laborers were laboring
And digging up their gold
I don't believe they knew that I was Long John Silver
Saw Johnny Scarecrow make his rounds in his jet-black 'mac
Which he won't give back
Stole it from a snowman
As I did walk by Hampstead Fair
I came upon Mother Goose
So I turned her loose
But she was screaming
Walked down by the bathing pond to try and catch some sun
Must of been at least a hundred schoolgirls sobbing into handkerchiefs as one
I don't believe they knew I was a schoolboy
