Minstrel In The Gallery (Live) (2004 Digital Remaster) - Jethro Tull
The minstrel in the gallery
Looked down upon the Smilin' faces
He met the gazes observed the spaces
Between the Old mens cackle
He brewed a song of love and hatred oblique
Suggestions and he waited
He polarized the pumpkin eaters static humming
Panel beaters freshly day glowd factory cheaters
Salaried and collar scrubbing
Then he called the band down to the stage
And he Looked at all the friends hed made
The minstrel in the gallery
Looked down upon the Smilin' faces
He met the gazes observed the spaces
Between the Old mens cackle
He brewed a song of love and hatred oblique
Suggestions and he waited
He polarized the pumpkin eaters static humming
Panel beaters
The minstrel in the gallery
Looked down on the Rabbit run
And threw away his lookin' glass
Saw his face in Everyone
He pacified the nappy suffering
Infant bleating One line jokers
The TV documentary makers
Overfed and undertakers
Sunday paper backgammon players family scarred
And women haters
Then he called the band down to the stage
And he Looked at all the friends hed made
The minstrel in the gallery
Looked down on the Rabbit run
And threw away his lookin' glass
Saw his face in Everyone
The minstrel in the gallery
Looked down upon the Smilin' faces
He met the gazes
The minstrel in the gallery
