<pre><font size='+2'>MOTHER ENGLAND REVERIE lyrics JETHRO TULL</font><br>I have no time for Time Magazine or Rolling Stone.<br />
 I have no wish for wishing wells or wishing bones.<br />
 I have no house in the country I have no motor car.<br />
 And if you think I`m joking, then I`m just a one-line<br />
 joker in a public bar.<br />
 And it seems there`s no-body left for tennis; and I`m<br />
 a one-band-man.<br />
 And I want no Top Twenty funeral or a hundred grand.<br />
 <br />
 There was a little boy stood on a burning log,<br />
 rubbing his hands with glee.  He said, ``Oh Mother England,<br />
 did you light my smile; or did you light<br />
 this fire under me?<br />
 One day I`ll be a minstrel in the gallery.<br />
 And paint you a picture of the queen.<br />
 And if sometimes I sing to a cynical degree ---<br />
 it`s just the nonsense that it seems.``<br />
 <br />
 So I drift down through the Baker Street valley,<br />
 in my steep-sided un-reality.<br />
 And when all is said and all is done --- I couldn`t wish<br />
 for a better one.<br />
 It`s a real-life ripe dead certainty ---<br />
 that I`m just a Baker Street Muse.<br />
 <br />
 Talking to the gutter-stinking, winking in the same<br />
 old way.<br />
 I tried to catch my eye but I looked the other way.<br />
 <br />
 Indian restaurants that curry my brain ---<br />
 newspaper warriors changing the names they<br />
 advertise from the station stand.<br />
 Circumcised with cold print hands.<br />
 <br />
 Windy bus-stop. Click. Shop-window. Heel.<br />
 Shady gentleman. Fly-button. Feel.<br />
 In the underpass, the blind man stands.<br />
 With cold flute hands.<br />
 Symphony match-seller, breath out of time ---<br />
 you can call me on another line.<br />
 <br />
 Didn`t make her --- with my Baker Street Ruse.<br />
 Couldn`t shake her --- with my Baker Street Bruise.<br />
 Like to take her --- but I`m just a Baker Street Muse.<br />
 <br />

I have no time for Time Magazine or Rolling Stone.
I have no wish for wishing wells or wishing bones.
I have no house in the country I have no motor car.
And if you think I`m joking, then I`m just a one-line
joker in a public bar.
And it seems there`s no-body left for tennis; and I`m
a one-band-man.
And I want no Top Twenty funeral or a hundred grand.

There was a little boy stood on a burning log,
rubbing his hands with glee. He said, ``Oh Mother England,
did you light my smile; or did you light
this fire under me?
One day I`ll be a minstrel in the gallery.
And paint you a picture of the queen.
And if sometimes I sing to a cynical degree ---
it`s just the nonsense that it seems.``

So I drift down through the Baker Street valley,
in my steep-sided un-reality.
And when all is said and all is done --- I couldn`t wish
for a better one.
It`s a real-life ripe dead certainty ---
that I`m just a Baker Street Muse.

Talking to the gutter-stinking, winking in the same
old way.
I tried to catch my eye but I looked the other way.

Indian restaurants that curry my brain ---
newspaper warriors changing the names they
advertise from the station stand.
Circumcised with cold print hands.

Windy bus-stop. Click. Shop-window. Heel.
Shady gentleman. Fly-button. Feel.
In the underpass, the blind man stands.
With cold flute hands.
Symphony match-seller, breath out of time ---
you can call me on another line.

Didn`t make her --- with my Baker Street Ruse.
Couldn`t shake her --- with my Baker Street Bruise.
Like to take her --- but I`m just a Baker Street Muse.

(I can`t get out!)
