Son - Jethro Tull

Oh, I feel sympathy.

Be grateful my son for what you get

Expression and passion.

Ten days for watching the sunset;

When I was your age amusement we made for ourselves

«Permission to breathe sir».

Don’t talk like that, I’m your old man

They’ll soon be demobbed son, so join up as soon as you can

You can’t borrow that 'cause that’s for the races and doesn’t grow on trees

I only feel what touches me

And feel in touching I can see

A better state to be in

Who has the right

To question what I might do

In feeling I should touch the real

And only things I feel

It’s advice and it’s nice to know when you’re best advised

You’re only turned thirty, so son, you’d better apologize

And when you grow up, if you’re good we will buy you a bike
