Jethro Tull - Uniform Lyrics






See black, see yellow with little notebooks drawn
See grey stripes bowling down the street
Silver streaks and T-shirts so precisely torn
Strange foreign chaps in white bed-sheets ---
Uniforms

See golden halo'd men of high renown
prance to the politicians' beat
Well tailored in unswerving elegance
with shoes by Gucci on their feet ---
Uniforms

How do you know who the hell you are?
Wake up each day under a different star
Dressed to the nines, meet yourself going home
like a clone, smartly dressed in your pressed uniform

White battle dress on green pitch, proud eleven
Beneath the swelling box so neat
the teeming millions of the future fly ---
the spinning cricket ball to cheat
They're all uniform

    This violin reminds me of Pavlov´s Dog. Which is not a bad reference.

    2:51 "go, Edwin, go!"

    Millions of kids in this era were getting their kicks listening to Led Zeppelin yet not knowing that John Bonham and Jimmy Page were getting THEIR kicks listening to this, Tull has always been a musician's band , way too far ahead of radio listeners

    C.... M....

    Nice and rather plausible story, but is there evidence for it?

  4. B.... G....

    ...Benefit is their best LP by far but "A" kicks ass. Was there in London at the Hammersmith Odeon in '80.
