jethro tull - minstrel in the gallery lyrics
the minstrel in the gallery
looked down upon the smiling faces
he met the gazes, observed the sp-ces
between the old men’s cackle
he brewed a song of love and hatred
oblique suggestions and he waited
he polarized the pumpkin-eaters
static-humming, panel-beaters
freshly day, glowed factory cheaters
salaried and collar-scrubbing
he t-tillated men of action
belly warming, hands still rubbing
on the parts they never mention
he pacified the nappy-suffering
infant-bleating, one-line jokers
tv doc-mentary makers, overfed and undertakers
sunday paper, backgammon players
family-scarred and women-haters
then he called the band down to the stage
and he looked at all the friends he’d made
the minstrel in the gallery
looked down upon the smiling faces
he met the gazes, observed the sp-ces
in-between the old men’s cackle
and he brewed a song of love and hatred
oblique suggestions and he waited
he polarized the pumpkin-eaters
static-humming, panel-beaters
the minstrel in the gallery
looked down on the rabbit-run
and he threw away his looking-gl-ss
he saw his face in everyone
he t-tillated men of action
belly warming, hands still rubbing
on the parts they never mention
salaried and collar-scrubbing
he pacified the nappy-suffering
infant-bleating, one-line jokers
tv doc-mentary makers
overfed and undertakers
sunday paper, backgammon players
family-scarred and women-haters
then he called the band down to the stage
and he looked at all the friends he’d made
the minstrel in the gallery
looked down on the rabbit-run
and threw away his looking-gl-ss
he saw his face in everyone
the minstrel in the gallery
looked down upon the smiling faces
[incomprehensible]
the minstrel in the gallery
