Jethro Tull

Sitting on a park bench, eyeing little girls with bad intent. Snot running down his nose, greasy fingers smearing shabby clothes. Drying in the cold sun, watching as the frilly panties run. Feeling like a dead duck, spitting out pieces of his broken luck.

Aqualung is the fourth, and best known, album by Jethro Tull. The music is a mixture of hard rock and folk melodies while the lyrics refer to some of societies seedier characters (Aqualung is about a homeless paedophile, Cross-Eyed Mary is about an under-age prostitute) and also presents some Pro-God but Anti-Church musings about faith and religion.

This is one of my favourite albums, so I deeply recommend it to everyone.
