Songtexte Saturation - 2002 Remastered Version - Jethro Tull

They left me, leaving my house on fire, me running round
Got out through the window
While clinging to the skirts of fate
Was not my idea of fun
I'll jump to it gladly
The town was filled with smoke and hate
Came to my senses just too late
To realize that all I ever owned was borrowed
I thanked them for having shown me
That nothing ever really belongs to anyone
They burned my books and they broke my car
And gave the dog to a man who used him for breeding
They felled my trees and they trampled flowers
And threw the kitten into my new pool
The same things done to other men
Had made them run away from the city
This being the case, I joined them there
And breathing air spent the night with these new friends
The town was filled with smoke and hate
Came to my senses just too late
To realize that all I ever owned was borrowed
I thanked them for having shown me
That nothing ever really belongs to anyone
