Mother Goose

Jethro Tull

Transposer:

Tabbed by thebigbox [Verse 1] As I did walk by Hampstead Faire I came upon Mother Goose so I turned her loose she was screaming And a foreign student said to me Was it really true there are elephants and lions too in Picadilly Circus Walked down by the bathing pond to try and catch some sun Saw at least a hundred school girls sobbing intoHankerchiefs as one I don’t believe they knew I was a schoolboy [Verse 2] And the bearded lady said to me If you start your raving and your misbehaving you’ll be sorry Then the chicken fancy came to play With his long red beard and his sister weird she drives a lorry (hmm) Back down by the putting green I popped them in their holes Four and twentylaborers were laboring and digging up Their gold I don’t believe they knew that I was Long John Silver [Verse 3] Saw Johnny Scarecrow make his rounds In his jet black mac which he won’t give back Stole it from a snowman As I did walk by Hampstead Faire I came upon Mother Goose so Iturned her loose she Was screaming Walked down by the bathing pond to try and catch some sun Saw at least a hundred school girls sobbing intoHankerchiefs as one I don’t believe they knew I was a schoolboy.

Dans cette chanson, le narrateur se promène au carnaval de Hampstead et croise une figure emblématique, Mother Goose, qu'il libère de sa détresse. Alors qu'il profite de l'ambiance estivale, il est témoin de la mélancolie des écolières, toutes unies dans leurs pleurs. D'autres personnages colorés font également leur apparition, comme une femme à barbe et un « chicken fancy », ajoutant une touche d'absurdité à la scène. À travers des rencontres surprenantes et des réflexions sur son identité, le narrateur évoque un monde fascinant et un brin surréaliste, où il se sent à la fois ici et là.
