Who would be a poor man, a beggarman, a thief --
if he had a rich man in his hand.
And who would steal the candy
from a laughing baby's mouth
if he could take it from the money man.
Cross-eyed Mary goes jumping in again.
She signs no contract
but she always plays the game.
Dines in Hampstead village
on expense accounted gruel,
and the jack-knife barber drops her off at school.
Laughing in the playground -- gets no kicks from little boys:
would rather make it with a letching grey.
Or maybe her attention is drawn by Aqualung,
who watches through the railings as they play.
Cross-eyed Mary finds it hard to get along.
She's a poor man's rich girl
and she'll do it for a song.
She's a rich man stealer
but her favour's good and strong:
She's the Robin Hood of Highgate --
helps the poor man get along.

Jethro Tull- Cross-Eyed Mary, fromt the album Aqualung.

    This is some goood music.... may sound strange coming from a black woman who grew up in the 70's. And yes, I agree with comments that the music today (which in my opinion) shouldn't even be considered music is nothing but a bunch of crap.

    Letching also means to be perverted, so a letching grey is a perverted old man.

    I wouldn't even note LMFAO. But yeah, even the popular stuff people normally whine about the most has some good stuff.

    I'm pretty sure the charts are dominated by whites across a multitude of genres, and even moreso, dominated by women.

    Florence and the Machine, Fun, Adele... Even LMFAO is good for the kind of "just have a good time partying" vibe. I like bands from other countries that aren't well known, but that have been around for years and do actually have a following. Good music is out there, you just have to look for it.

    This song has something simultaneously very humorous and very sad.

    People know good music no matter what color they are, or the color of the artist performing. Thank you for being open.
