Thank you, my friend SGT John " Mac " McConnell for sharing the music video of Ian Anderson and Jethro Tull with The Neue Philharmonie Frankfurt in performing Locomotive Breath which was included in the Aqualung album.
Interesting rendition.
"Locomotive Breath" written by Ian Scot Anderson
Lyrics
"In the shuffling madness
Of the locomotive breath
Runs the all-time loser
Headlong to his death
Oh, he feels the piston scraping
Steam breaking on his brow
Old Charlie stole the handle
And the train—it won't stop going
No way to slow down
He sees his children jump off
At the stations one by one
His woman and his best friend
In bed and having fun
Oh, he's crawling down the corridor
On his hands and knees
Old Charlie stole the handle and
The train—it won't stop going
No way to slow down
He hears the silence howling
Catches angels as they fall
And the all-time winner
Has got him by the balls
Oh, he picks up Gideon's Bible
Open at page one
I thank God he stole the handle and
The train—it won't stop going
No way to slow down
No way to slow down
No way to slow down
No way to slow down
No way to slow down
No way to slow down
No way to slow down"
