snot running down his nose, greasy fingers smearing shabby clothes ?

Question

plz tell me song title, band name, and lead singer name of this song and where the nasty guy was sitting and what was he doing while he sat there ?

Answer 1

"Aqualung" by band Jethro Tull, singer & flutist Ian Anderson" to quote Rhapsody.Com "Jethro Tull, aka the saga of everyone's favorite madcap flautist and his netherworldly parishioners, began in England in the late '60s. It was one of many experimental periods in rock 'n' roll, when the miscegenation of folk, sylvan mysticism, Heavy Metal thunder, and Skiffle seemed viable. "Aqualung" from 1971 remains the group's calling card. Who could deny a fully bearded man, dressed in tartan, hopping on one leg while playing flute and breathing life to the indelible image "Sitting on a park bench / eyeing little girls with bad intent / snot running down his nose / greasy fingers smearing shabby clothes"? Though JT would release a steady stream of work for the faithful, they would surface once more in the spotlight with their controversial win of the Grammy award for the inaugural Best Hard Rock/Heavy Metal category in 1989. Ever the English wiseguys, JT's latest CD, ingeniously titled j-tull.com, finds them with the usual arsenal of wind instruments and palatable riffs for both knights and knaves.

Answer 2

Since others answered the question correctly, aI'll just add this background info about the song and what it means.


Ian Anderson's September 1999 Guitar World interview he says:

Aqualung wasn't a concept album, although a lot of people thought so. The idea came about from a photograph my wife at the time took of a tramp in London. I had feelings of guilt about the homeless, as well as fear and insecurity with people like that who seem a little scary. And I suppose all of that was combined with a slightly romanticized picture of the person who is homeless but yet a free spirit, who either won't or can't join in society's prescribed formats.

So from that photograph and those sentiments, I began writing the words to 'Aqualung.' I can remember sitting in a hotel room in L.A., working out the chord structure for the verses. It's quite a tortured tangle of chords, but it was meant to really drag you here and there and then set you down into the more gentle acoustic section of the song

Answer 3

Aqualung is the name of the song the band was Jethro Tull and the lead singer was Ian Anderson I believe. And as I recall he was "sitting on a park bench eyeing little girls with bad intent"

Answer 4

Jethro Tull and the song is called Aqualung.
The lead singer is Ian Anderson.

Answer 5

Aqualung...Jethro Tull

" Aqualung," to many, is Tull's masterpiece. The title track and "Locomotive Breath," with their catchy riffs, would be joined by "My God," "Cross-Eyed Mary," and "Hymn 43" as classic rock staples. There's no arguing with its commercial success, having sold more than seven million copies and continuing to outsell anything in the back catalog.
