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

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

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

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

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

[00:00:31] Now this may not

[00:00:32] Seem strange

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:01:32] Ostensibly motionless

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

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

[00:01:45] Where were his spectacles

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:02:53] She had the answer

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

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

[00:03:04] Without his spectacles

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:12:01] Seen in the sky

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:17:25] I thank everybody

[00:17:28] For making me welcome

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:20:20] Here am I

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

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

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

[00:20:40] In the conflict revel

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

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

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

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

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

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

[00:22:02] Living be

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

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

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

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