Jethro Tull

B-Side of Rocks on the Road (U.S.), This is Not Love (U.K.)



Could be sitting on the left of you

Ooh you'd be looking straight ahead

If I was adrift right across from you

You still would cut me dead

I've had better deep discussions with this plate of soft-shelled crab

(yes I have)

I put some spice in your ice

You give me blues in the stew

I give you catfish jumping

You give me all this work to do

Who's got the check on this hot dinner?

Who's got the tabs on the crab?



Another night in the wilderness shoulda been a night on the town

Lesson in learning how to hold a conversation down

On the splendid isolation you let heavy silence fall

But all this cut out for me to do

Another night in the wilderness of you



I am drinking you with my eyes

You're looking at the gray beyond my bib

I go weak-kneed at the suggestion of you

What's wrong with the cut of my jib

Is there a lobster in the offing or just a fifty dollar check



Another night in the wilderness shoulda been a night on the town

Lesson in learning how to hold a conversation down

On the splendid isolation you let heavy silence fall

All this cut out for me to do

Another night in the wilderness of you



Another night in the wilderness shoulda been a night on the town

Lesson in learning how to hold a conversation down

On the splendid isolation you let heavy silence fall

But all this cut out for me to do

Another night in the wilderness of you

Another night in the wilderness of you

Another night in the wilderness of you

Another night in the wilderness of you
