Left Right Jethro Tull
"Left Right" by Jethro Tull, released in 1976, is a #Rock song that explores themes of conformity, societal expectations, and the struggles of individuality within a regimented world. The lyrics convey a sense of disorientation and critique the monotony of life, using the metaphor of following directions. Musically, it features a blend of progressive rock with intricate flute melodies and dynamic instrumentation. The song’s unique structure and introspective lyrics reflect the band’s signature style, contributing to Tull's cultural impact in the 1970s rock scene.
The master playwright
Urges you to play right/play wrong;
Life is long and every night's the first night
The wardrobe mistress
Urges you to dress left/dress right;
What a mess when your underpants are too tight
Who's on the stage door
To help you find the way in/way out?
It's not a sin to be knowing that you don't know
When you breathe your last line
Will you make your exit stage left/stage right?
Well, you might decide while there's still time
You have an angel on your shoulder
But you wear the old god's horns
And you dance around the maypole
While the vicar makes a toast
To the pagan celebration
And extends an invitation to us all
So he can save us when we fall
Who's your leading lady?
Will you help to get her off the bus? It's best
To pass the test before you get too lazy
