Jethro Tull - Too Old to Rock & Roll, Too Young to Die (Edited)

Jethro Tull - Too Old to Rock & Roll, Too Young to Die

The old Rocker wore his hair too long,
wore his trouser cuffs too tight.
Unfashionable to the end --- drank his ale too light.
Death's head belt buckle --- yesterday's dreams ---
the transport caf' prophet of doom.
Ringing no change in his double-sewn seams
in his post-war-babe gloom.

Now he's too old to Rock'n'Roll but he's too young to die.

Now they're too old to Rock'n'Roll and they're too young to die.

So the old Rocker gets out his bike
to make a ton before he takes his leave.
Up on the A1 by Scotch Corner
just like it used to be.
And as he flies --- tears in his eyes ---
his wind-whipped words echo the final take
and he hits the trunk road doing around 120
with no room left to brake.

And he was too old to Rock'n'Roll but he was too young to die.
No, you're never too old to Rock'n'Roll if you're too young to die.

@Giao1 Hey! I AM Greek, been listening to greek tunes all my life. What if I'd say it sounds Celtic to me? That could be as well, wouldn't it?

To conclude, it sounds Jethro Tull to me, enjoy it.:)

I found this album for $5 at Borders when it was going out of business. Best purchase I ever made.

@carturello I'm too old to be this young?

[carturello]

I'm too old to "Hip hop or rap", but too young to die...

@laudatutub This is good stuff my friend, nothing more. I remain American, and Ian doesn't even blaze his flute in this offering?

@laudatutub you need to listen to some greek tunes and check again

@girisking It doesn't remind me of anything Greek to be honest, but, whatever

@DiazdelVivar Naw man I don't sorry :( I was just saying I'd forgotten about the song in general. I'll try to work on it though.
