Jethro Tull - Strip Cartoon текст песни

Fish and chips, sandpaper lips and a rainy pavement.

Soho lights, another night --- thinking of you.

Black cat, sat on a wall, winks at me darkly.

Suggesting ways and means that I might win a smile ---

As you leave the place where you work until 12.30

And the policemen nods as you pass along his beat.

Sweaty feet, troubled brow -- were all in the same game, lady.

Lifes no bowl of cherries --- its a black and white strip cartoon.

Ive been warned that you and your friends are crazy

As from your hearts you bare your parts to the gentlemen,

Who, while they drool, trying to keep cool,

Spill their scotch and water.

But Im not that way, I must say --- Id much prefer to see

You in your texturised rubber rainwear around 12.30.

Come and play shades of grey in my black and white strip cartoon.

Strip cartoon is all Im after.

Strip cartoon is all I crave ---

So come to my place around 12.30

`cos Im a leading politician

At a dangerous age.
