Jethro Tull - Locomotive Breath (Live!) (1978)



Oscar : I tell you one thing that really drives me nuts, is people who think that Jethro Tull is just a person in a band.
   (진짜 열받는 건 말이야.. 사람들이 가수 '제스로 툴'을 모른다는 거요)
Psychologist : Who is Jethro Tull?
   (그게 누군데?) ㅋㅋ
- 영화 아마겟돈 (Armageddon, 1998) 중에서 (00:37.00) -


이곡만 들으면 전율이 내린다.

Jethro Tull - Locomotive Breath (Live!) (Madison Square Garden NYC, 1978)



In the shuffling madess
of the locomotive breath,
runs the all-time loser,
headlong to his death.
He feels the piston scraping
steam breaking on his brow
old Charlie stole the handle and
the train won't stop going
no way to slow down.
He sees his children jumping off
at the stations - one by one.
His woman and his best friend
in bed and having fun.
He's crawling down the corridor
on his hands and knees
old Charlie stole the handle and
the train won't stop going
no way to slow down.

He hears the silence howling
catches angels as they fall.
And the all-time winner
has got him by the balls.
He picks up Gideons Bible
open at page one
old Charlie stole the handle and
the train won't stop going
no way to slow down.


신들린듯 인상적인 플룻연주의 My God~
Jethro Tull - My God (Live!)


People - what have you done
locked Him in His golden cage.
Made Him bend to your religion
Him resurrected from the grave.
He is the god of nothing
if that's all that you can see.
You are the god of everything
He's inside you and me.
So lean upon Him gently
and don't call on Him to save you
from your social graces
and the sins you used to waive.
The bloody Church of England
in chains of history
requests your earthly presence at
the vicarage for tea.
And the graven image you-know-who
with His plastic crucifix
he's got him fixed
confuses me as to who and where and why
as to how he gets his kicks.
Confessing to the endless sin
the endless whining sounds.
You'll be praying till next Thursday to
all the gods that you can count.
