Night in The Wilderness — текст песни (Jethro Tull)

I could he sitting on the left of you.

Youd be looking straight ahead.

If I was adrift right across from you,

You still would cut me dead.

Ive had better deep discussions

With this plate of soft-shelled crab.



Id put some spice in your rice.

Youd give me blues in the stew.

Id give you catfish jumping.

Youd give me all this work to do.

Whos got the cheque on this hot dinner?

Whos got the tabs on the crab?



Another night in the wilderness:

Should have been a night on the town.

Lesson in learning how to hold a conversation down.

Im in splendid isolation, feel that heavy silence fall.

Got all this cut out for me to do.

Another night in the wilderness of you.



Here I am drinking you with my eyes.

Youre looking at the gravy on my bib.

I go weak-kneed at the suggestion of you.

Whats wrong with the cut of my jib?

Is there a lobster in the offing, or just a fifty dollar cheque?
