Jethro Tull - Minstrel In The Gallery Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • The minstrel in the gallery looked down upon the
  • Smiling 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).
  • He titillated men-of-action --- belly warming, hands
  • Still rubbing on the parts they never mention.
  • He pacified the nappy-suffering, infant-bleating
  • One-line jokers --- t.v. 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 looking-glass - saw his face in
  • Everyone.
