Lyrics Minstrel in the Gallery (Live) (Remastered) - Jethro Tull
The
minstrel
in
the
gallery
Looked
down
upon
the
smiling
faces.
He
met
the
gazes
observed
the
spaces
Between
the
old
men's
cackle.
He
brewed
a
song
of
love
and
hatred,
Oblique
suggestions
and
he
waited.
He
polarized
the
pumpkin-eaters,
Static-humming
panel-beaters,
Freshly
day-glow'd
factory
cheaters
(Salaried
and
collar-scrubbing.)
He
titillated
men-of-action
Belly
warming,
hands
still
rubbing
On
the
parts
they
never
mention.
He
pacified
the
nappy-suffering,
infant-bleating,
One-line
jokers,
TV
documentary
makers
(Overfed
and
undertakers.)
Sunday
paper
backgammon
players
Family-scarred
and
women-haters.
Then
he
called
the
band
down
to
the
stage
And
he
looked
at
all
the
friends
he'd
made.
The
minstrel
in
the
gallery
Looked
down
upon
the
smiling
faces.
He
met
the
gazes
observed
the
spaces
In
between
the
old
men's
cackle.
He
brewed
a
song
of
love
and
hatred,
Oblique
suggestions
and
he
waited.
He
polarized
the
pumpkin-eaters,
Static-humming
panel-beaters,
The
minstrel
in
the
gallery
Looked
down
on
the
rabbit-run.
And
threw
away
his
looking-glass
-
Saw
his
face
in
everyone.
He
titillated
men-of-action
Belly
warming,
hands
still
rubbing
On
the
parts
they
never
mention.

and

And

The

And

-
And
saw
his

The
minstrel
in

Looked
down
upon
the

faces.
He
met
the
gazes...
The
minstrel
in
the
gallery
