Never heard this version... only ever knew the Two Fingers song from War Child... interesting!! Not sure where it would have stood on the original Aqualung album... it's not really god and religion and doesn't fit in with the flavour of side one either. (Which is probably why it didn't make the cut).
Im glad I've seen Ian Anderson live. I will never forget that concert!

Ran across this one originally on the 20 Years of Jethro Tull album. Good to see it here as well.

I don't think we got this one on the US version.

Agree with everyone on this. Love the lyrics, and, yes Martin Barre is and always has been under-rated for such an incredible player.

I love how Jethro Tull is so raw quick to the point.

Still can't believe this track didn't make it onto Aqualung, and didn't surface in its original form for 14-15 years
