SINGER: Jethro Tull
SONG:Cross-eyed Mary
Who would be a poor man, a beggarman, a thief - if he had a rich man in his hand. and who would steal the candy from a laughing baby's mouth if he could take it from the money man. cross-eyed mary goes jumping in again. she signs no contract but she always plays the game. she dines in hampstead village on expense accounted gruel, and the jack-knife barber drops her off at school. laughing in the playground gets no kicks from little boys: would rather make it with a letching grey. or maybe her attention is drawn by aqualung who watches through the railings as they play. cross-eyed mary finds it hard to get along. she's a poor man's rich girl and she'll do it for a song. she's the rich man stealer but her favour's good and strong: she's the robin hood of highgate- helps the poor man get along.
