Jethro Tull - From A Dead Beat To An Old Greaser слова песни
From a dead beat to an old greaser, here`s thinking of you.
You won`t remember the long nights;
coffee bars; black tights and white thighs
in shop windows where blonde assistants fully-fashioned a world made
of dummies (with no mummies or daddies to reject them).
When bombs were banned every Sunday and the Shadows played F.B.I.
And tired young sax-players sold their instruments of torture ---
sat in the station sharing wet dreams of Charlie Parker,
Jack Kerouac, Ren`e Magritte, to name a few of the heroes
who were too wise for their own good --- left the young brood to
go on living without them.
Old queers with young faces --- who remember your name,
though you`re a dead beat with tired feet;
two ends that don`t meet.
To a dead beat from an old greaser.
Think you must have me all wrong.
I didn`t care, friend. I wasn`t there, friend,
If it`s the price of pint that you need, ask me again.
