Píseň: Crew Nights

Interpret:
Jethro Tull
Album:
Nightcap (2 cd)
Tear it down in double quick time
To get the eighth truck shifted 'bout midnight
The locker rooms are empty but the Strobo Tickers
still spin with their pitching lights
And someone with a yellow pass
Gives out precise directions as to where and when


And here am I with a drumstick,
While young girls set to rendezvous, and be recognized again
Tomorrow is an offday,
Be in Baltimore by Thursday is the only law.
There's a suite down at the hotel
Reserved for making merry with connecting doors.
The lighting man's already improvised a bar,
And printed invitations to the ball.
Off duty cops line corridors wearing Tull two Tshirts proudly
on the band's wall


Crew nights, no flashlights or folding knives,
Best boots and road suits and nine lives.


Feeling that it might be wrong to
Temporarily belong to the P.A. man men
Some angel from the midwest is regretting being
Undressed with no suntan
His polaroid is snapping
The head carpenter is rapping on
The gates of dawn


Sitting lonely with a warm beer
The girl with dental braces wishes that she hadn't gone.


Crew nights, no bar fights or feeders wives
Thin walls and late blade calls and nine lives.


Crew nights, no flashlights or folding knives,
Best boots and road suits and nine lives.
