Oh father high in heaven - smile down upon your son

whose busy with his money games - his women and his gun.

Oh Jesus save me!

And the unsung Western hero killed an Indian or three

and made his name in Hollywood

to set the white man free.

Oh Jesus save me!

If Jesus saves - well, He'd better save Himself

from the gory glory seekers who use His name in death.

Oh Jesus save me!

I saw him in the city and on the mountains of the moon

His cross was rather bloody

He could hardly roll His stone.

Oh Jesus save me!

The album has a couple of tough-to-hear songs. I don't think most people really understand what the title song is about.

Every Jethro Tull album is full of hard to hear songs.

Between Jethro and that Squeky bastid from RUSH i gave up on the classic rock station while at work (can't always change the station).

Andy, I think he thought JT was in reference to James Taylor. Mostly JT is James Taylor, and Jethro Tull is simply Tull. I like both, but not for the same moods! LOL, Mostly into Tull! Some folks might think Aqualung to be sacrilegious, but it's really about the travesties committed in the name of God on the part of organized religion..

BTW, I went to Microsofts XP download page, and found a nifty spellcheck program that's an add on for IE! Now if I can just remember to use it every time!

I meant the album's title song. Great story. Different perspective.

I love Tull........My only complaint is that I wish "Nursie" was a longer song. 1:43 just doesn't do it. Great great song!!
