Take you to the cinema
and leave you in a Wimpy Bar --
you tell me that we've gone to far --
come running up to me.
Make the scene at Cousin Jack's --
leave him put the bottles back --
mends his glasses that I cracked --
well that one's up to me.
Buy a silver cloud to ride --
pack the tennis club inside --
trouser cuffs hung far too wide --
well it was up to me.
Tyres down on your bicicle --
your nose feels like an icicle --
the yellow fingered smoky girl
is looking up to me.
Well I'm a common working man
with a half of bitter -- bread and jam
and if it pleases me I'll put one on you man --
when the copper fades away.
The rainy season comes to pass --
the day-glo pirate sinks at last --
and if I laughed a bit to fast.
Well it was up to me.

Jethro Tull- Up to Me, from the album Aqualung.

    Sure I do. I was a teenager visiting a neighbour of mine, who showed me the album, he sang evry tune almost shouting with excitement. It was my entry to progrock. It was somewhere in Buenos Aires, where we do love this music

    You're so lucky. I'm a huge fan of Jethro Tull, and I think this song, anything on Aqualung really, is fantastic.

    Saw them at Pirate's World in Florida. The sound went down and Ian just played acoustic guitar until they fixed it, he was the best then and still is!
