Minstrel In The Gallery Lyrics - Minstrel In The Gallery - Jethro Tull

The minstrel in the gallery 

Looked down upon the smiling faces. 

He met the gazes observed the spaces 

Between the old men's cackle. 

He brewed a song of love and hatred, 

Oblique suggestions and he waited. 

He polarized the pumpkin-eaters, 

Static-humming panel-beaters, 

Freshly day-glow'd factory cheaters 

(salaried and collar-scrubbing.) 

He titillated men-of-action 

Belly warming, hands still rubbing 

On the parts they never mention. 

He pacified the nappy-suffering, infant-bleating, 

One-line jokers, TV documentary makers 

(overfed and undertakers.) 

Sunday paper backgammon players 

Family-scarred and women-haters. 

Then he called the band down to the stage 

And he looked at all the friends he'd made.

The minstrel in the gallery 

Looked down upon the smiling faces. 

He met the gazes observed the spaces 

In between the old men's cackle. 

He brewed a song of love and hatred, 

Oblique suggestions and he waited. 

He polarized the pumpkin-eaters, 

Static-humming panel-beaters, 

 

The minstrel in the gallery 

Looked down on the rabbit-run. 

And threw away his looking-glass - 

Saw his face in everyone. 

 

He titillated men-of-action 

Belly warming, hands still rubbing 

On the parts they never mention. 

(salaried and collar-scrubbing.)
