A Passion Play (Part 2) (2003 Digital Remaster) - Jethro Tull[00:00:00]

This is the story of the hare who lost his spectacles[00:00:00]

Owl loved to rest quietly whilst no one was watching[00:00:16]

Sitting on a fence one day[00:00:22]

He was surprised when suddenly a kangaroo ran close by[00:00:24]

Now this may not[00:00:31]

Seem strange[00:00:32]

But when owl overheard kangaroo whisper to no one in particular[00:00:34]

The hare has lost his spectacles[00:00:40]

Well he began to wonder[00:00:44]

Presently the moon appeared from behind a cloud and there[00:00:51]

Lying on the grass was hare[00:00:56]

In the stream that flowed by the grass a newt[00:01:02]

And sitting astride a twig of a bush a bee[00:01:11]

Ostensibly motionless[00:01:32]

The hare was trembling with excitement[00:01:34]

For without his spectacles he was completely helpless[00:01:39]

Where were his spectacles[00:01:45]

Could someone have stolen them had he mislaid them[00:01:48]

What was he to do bee wanted to help[00:01:53]

And thinking he had the answer began[00:02:01]

You probably ate them thinking they were a carrot[00:02:04]

No interrupted owl who was wise[00:02:15]

I have good eye sight insight and foresight[00:02:19]

How could an intelligent hare make such a silly mistake[00:02:23]

But all this time owl had been sitting on the fence[00:02:28]

Scowling kangaroo were hopping mad at this sort of talk[00:02:31]

She thought herself far superior in intelligence to the others[00:02:43]

She was their leader their guru[00:02:49]

She had the answer[00:02:53]

Hare you must go in search of the optician[00:02:54]

But then she realized that hare was completely helpless[00:02:59]

Without his spectacles[00:03:04]

And so kangaroo loudly proclaimed[00:03:06]

I can't send hare in search of anything[00:03:11]

You can guru you can shouted newt[00:03:14]

You can send him with owl[00:03:18]

But owl had gone to sleep[00:03:20]

Newt knew too much to be stopped by so small a problem[00:03:24]

You can take him in your pouch but alas[00:03:29]

Hare was much too big to fit into kangaroo's pouch[00:03:32]

All this time it had been quite plain to hare[00:03:40]

That the others knew nothing about spectacles[00:03:43]

As for all their tempting ideas well hare didn't care[00:03:49]

The lost spectacles were his own affair[00:04:00]

And after all hare did have a spare a pair a pair[00:04:05]

We sleep by the ever bright hole in the door[00:05:32]

Eat in the corner talk to the floor[00:05:38]

Cheating the spiders who come to say please[00:05:43]

They bend at the knees[00:05:50]

Well I'll go to the foot of our stairs[00:05:54]

Old gentlemen talk of when they were young[00:05:58]

Of ladies lost and erring sons[00:06:04]

Lace covered dandies revel was friends[00:06:10]

Pure as the truth tied at both ends[00:06:15]

Well I'll go to the foot of our stairs[00:06:20]

Scented cathedral spire pointed down[00:06:25]

We pray for souls in kittenish town[00:06:30]

A delicate hush the gods floating by[00:06:36]

Wishing us well pie in the sky[00:06:41]

God of ages lord of time mine is the right to be wrong[00:06:47]

Well I'll go to the foot of our stairs[00:06:58]

Jack rabbit mister spawn a new breed of love hungry pilgrims[00:07:03]

Show me a good man and I'll show you the door[00:07:13]

The last hymn is sung and the devil cries more[00:07:18]

Well I'm all for leaving and that being done[00:09:28]

I've put in a request to take up my turn[00:09:34]

In that forsaken paradise that calls itself hell[00:09:39]

Where no one has nothing and nothing is well meaning fool[00:09:46]

Pick up thy bed and rise up from your gloom smiling[00:09:55]

Give me your hate and do as the loving heathen do[00:10:12]

Colors I've none dark or light red white or blue[00:10:38]

Cold is my touch freezing[00:10:43]

Summoned by name I am the overseer over you[00:10:47]

Given this command to watch o'er our miserable sphere[00:11:01]

Fallen from grace called on to bring sun or rain[00:11:07]

Occasional corn from my oversight grew[00:11:13]

Fell with mine angels from a far better place[00:11:25]

Offering services for the saving of face[00:11:31]

Now you're here you may as well admire[00:11:34]

All whom living has retired from the benign reconciliation[00:11:37]

Legends were born surrounding mysterious lights[00:11:55]

Seen in the sky[00:12:01]

I just lit a fag then took my leave in the blink of an eye[00:12:05]

Passionate play join round the maypole in dance[00:12:57]

Summoned by name I am the overseer over you[00:13:06]

Flee the icy Lucifer oh he's an awful fellow[00:14:21]

What a mistake I didn't take a feather from his pillow[00:14:27]

Here's the everlasting rub neither am I good or bad[00:14:37]

I'd give up my halo for a horn[00:14:43]

And the horn for the hat I once had[00:14:46]

I'm only breathing there's life on my ceiling[00:14:53]

The flies there are sleeping quietly[00:15:01]

Twist my right arm in the dark[00:15:11]

I would give two or three for[00:15:14]

One of those days that never made[00:15:17]

Impressions on the old score[00:15:20]

I would gladly be a dog barking up the wrong tree[00:15:27]

Everyone's saved we're in the grave[00:15:33]

See you there for afternoon tea[00:15:36]

Time for awaking the tea lady's making[00:15:43]

A brew up and baking new bread[00:15:51]

Pick me up at half past none[00:16:53]

There's not a moment to lose[00:16:56]

There is the train on which I came[00:16:59]

On the platform are my old shoes[00:17:02]

Station master rings his bell[00:17:09]

Whistles blow and flags wave[00:17:12]

A little of what you fancy does you good[00:17:15]

I thank everybody[00:17:25]

For making me welcome[00:17:28]

I'd stay but my wings have just dropped off[00:17:33]

Hail son of kings make the ever dying sign[00:19:28]

Cross your fingers in the sky for those about to be[00:19:35]

There am I waiting along the sand[00:19:42]

Cast your sweet spell upon the land and sea[00:19:47]

Magus Verde take your hand from off the chain[00:20:05]

Loose a wish to still the rain the storm about to be[00:20:13]

Here am I[00:20:20]

Tough are the soles that tread the knife's edge[00:20:26]

Break the circle stretch the line call upon the devil[00:20:32]

Bring the gods the gods' own fire[00:20:38]

In the conflict revel[00:20:40]

The passengers upon the ferry crossing waiting to be born[00:20:44]

Renew the pledge of life's long song rise to the reveille horn[00:20:49]

Animals queening at the gate that stands upon the shore[00:20:54]

Breathe the ever burning fire that guards the ever door[00:20:59]

Man son of man buy the flame of ever life[00:21:51]

Yours to breathe and breath the pain of living[00:21:59]

Living be[00:22:02]

Here am I roll the stone away[00:22:06]

From the dark into ever day[00:22:11]

There was a rush along the shameful road[00:22:46]

Into the ever passion play[00:22:57]
