Heavy Horses (2003 Digital Remaster) - Jethro Tull[00:00:00]
Written by:Ian Anderson[00:00:02]
Iron clad feather feet[00:01:10]
Pounding the dust[00:01:12]
On octobers day[00:01:15]
Towards evening[00:01:16]
Sweat embossed veins[00:01:19]
Standing proud to the plough[00:01:21]
Salt on a deep chest[00:01:25]
Seasoning[00:01:28]
Last of the line at an honest days toil[00:01:31]
Turning the deep sod[00:01:36]
Under[00:01:38]
Flint at the fetlock chasing the bone[00:01:40]
Flies at the nostrils[00:01:46]
Plunder[00:01:48]
The suffolk[00:01:51]
The clydesdale the percheron vie[00:01:52]
With the shire on his feathers[00:01:56]
Floating[00:01:59]
Hauling soft timber into the dusk[00:02:01]
To bed[00:02:06]
On a warm straw[00:02:07]
Coating[00:02:09]
Heavy horses[00:02:12]
Move the land under me[00:02:14]
Behind the plough gliding[00:02:18]
Slipping and sliding free[00:02:20]
Now you're down to the few[00:02:24]
And there's no work to do[00:02:26]
The tractors on[00:02:28]
It's way[00:02:29]
Let me find you a filly[00:02:31]
For your proud stallion seed[00:02:33]
To keep[00:02:37]
The old line[00:02:38]
Going[00:02:40]
And well stand you abreast[00:02:41]
At the back of the woods[00:02:43]
Behind the young trees[00:02:47]
Growing[00:02:50]
To hide you from eyes that mock at your girth[00:02:52]
You're eighteen hands[00:02:58]
At the shoulder[00:03:00]
And one day[00:03:02]
When the oil barons have all dripped dry[00:03:03]
And the nights are seen[00:03:07]
To draw colder[00:03:10]
They'll beg for your strength[00:03:13]
Your gentle power[00:03:15]
Your noble grace[00:03:18]
And your bearing[00:03:20]
And you'll strain once again[00:03:23]
To the sound of the gulls[00:03:25]
In the wake[00:03:28]
Of the deep plough[00:03:29]
Sharing[00:03:32]
Heavy horses[00:03:34]
Move the land under me[00:03:36]
Behind the plough gliding[00:03:40]
Slipping and sliding free[00:03:43]
Now you're down to the few[00:03:46]
And there's no work to do[00:03:48]
The tractors on[00:03:50]
It's way[00:03:52]
Standing like tanks on the brow of the hill[00:04:16]
Up into the cold wind facing[00:04:21]
In stiff battle harness[00:04:27]
Chained to the world[00:04:29]
Against the low sun racing[00:04:33]
Bring me a wheel of oaken wood[00:04:38]
A rein of polished leather[00:04:43]
A heavy horse and a tumbling sky[00:04:48]
Brewing heavy weather[00:04:55]
Bring a song for the evening[00:05:00]
Clean brass to flash the dawn[00:05:04]
Across these acres glistening[00:05:07]
Like dew[00:05:11]
On a carpet lawn[00:05:13]
In these dark towns folk lie sleeping[00:05:17]
As the heavy horses[00:05:21]
Thunder by[00:05:22]
To wake the dying city[00:05:25]
With the living horsemans cry[00:05:28]
At once the old hands quicken[00:06:27]
Bring pick and wisp[00:06:31]
And curry comb[00:06:33]
Thrill to the sound of all[00:06:36]
The heavy horses[00:06:40]
Coming home[00:06:43]
Iron clad feather feet[00:06:47]
Pounding the dust[00:06:49]
On octobers day[00:06:52]
Towards evening[00:06:54]
Sweat embossed veins standing[00:06:57]
Proud to the plough[00:06:59]
Salt on a deep chest[00:07:02]
Seasoning[00:07:05]
Bring me a wheel of oaken wood[00:07:08]
A rein[00:07:13]
Of polished[00:07:14]
Leather[00:07:16]
A heavy horse and a tumbling sky[00:07:17]
Brewing heavy[00:07:24]
Weather[00:07:27]
Heavy horses[00:07:29]
Move the land under me[00:07:31]
Behind the plough gliding[00:07:35]
Slipping and sliding free[00:07:38]
Now you're down to the few[00:07:41]
And there's no work to do[00:07:43]
The tractors on[00:07:45]
It's way[00:07:47]
Oh heavy horses[00:07:57]
Move the land under me[00:08:00]
Behind the plough gliding[00:08:04]
Slipping and sliding free[00:08:06]
Now you're down to the few[00:08:10]
And there's no work to do[00:08:12]
The tractors on[00:08:14]
It's way[00:08:15]
Heavy horses[00:08:17]
Move the land under me[00:08:20]
Behind the plough gliding[00:08:24]
Slipping and sliding free[00:08:26]
Now you're down to the few[00:08:30]
And there's no work to do[00:08:32]
The tractors on[00:08:34]
It's way[00:08:35]
Heavy horses[00:08:37]
Move the land under me[00:08:40]
Behind the plough gliding[00:08:44]
Slipping and sliding free[00:08:47]
