Testo Della Canzone
Cross-Eyed Mary di Jethro Tull
Aqualung |
|
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. She 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.
