North Sea Oil — текст песни (Jethro Tull)

Black and viscous --- bound to cure blue lethargy

Sugar-plum petroleum for energy

Tightrope-balanced payments need a small reprieve

Oh, please believe we want to be

In north sea oil

New-found wealth sits on the shelf of yesterday

Hot-air balloon --- inflation soon will make you pay

Riggers rig and diggers dig their shallow grave

But well be saved and what we crave

Is north sea oil

Prices boom in aberdeen and london town

Ten more years to lay the fears, erase the frown

Before we are all nuclear --- the better way!

Oh, let us pray: we want to stay

In north sea oil
