Jethro Tull - The Chequered Flag (Dead Or Alive) слова песни




The disc brakes drag,the chequered flag sweeps across the oil-slick track.The young man`s home; dry as a bone.His helmet off, he waves: the crowd waves back.One lap victory roll. Gladiator soul.The taker of the day in winning has to say,Isn`t it grand to be playing to the stand,dead or alive.The sunlight streaks through the curtain cracks,touches the old man where he sleeps.The nurse brings up a cup of tea ---two biscuits and the morning paper mystery.The hard road`s end, the white god`s-sendis nearer everyday, in dying the old man says,Isn`t it grand to be playing to the stand,dead or alive.The still-born child can`t feel the rainas the chequered flag falls once again.The deaf composer completes his final score.He`ll never hear the sweet encore.The chequered flag, the bull`s red rag,the lemming-hearted hordesrunning ever faster to the shore singing,Isn`t it grand to be playing to the stand,dead or alive.
