Lyrics for Song: Baker Street Muse
Lyrics for Album: Minstrel In The Gallery [1975]
Windy bus-stop. Click. Shop-window. Heel.
Shady gentleman. Fly-button. Feel.
In the underpass, the blind man stands.
With cold flute hands.
Symphony match-seller, breath out of time.
You can call me on another line.
Indian restaurants that curry my brain.
Newspaper warriors changing the names they
advertise from the station stand.
With cold print hands.
Symphony word-player, I'll be your headline.
If you catch me another time.
Didn't make her --- with my Baker Street Ruse.
Couldn't shake her --- with my Baker Street Bruise.
Like to take her --- but I'm just a Baker Street Muse.
Ale-spew, puddle-brew --- boys, throw it up clean.
Coke and Bacardi colours them green.
From the typing pool goes the mini-skirted princess
with great finesse.
Fertile earth-mother, your burial mound is fifty feet
down in the Baker Street underground. (What the hell!)
Walking down the gutter thinking,
"How the hell am I today?''
Well, I didn't really ask you but thanks all the same.

Baker Street Muse
Baker Street Muse stands as a distinctive song in Jethro Tull's 1975 album, Minstrel In The Gallery. During this period, the band explored a more eclectic and theatrical sound, moving away from the heavy rock of their earlier years. This track exemplifies the album's blend of progressive rock structures with folk-inspired melodies and intricate instrumental passages. Ian Anderson's songwriting on this record often reflected a whimsical yet sophisticated approach, utilizing the flute as a central voice alongside the electric guitar. The song contributes to a broader catalogue that showcases the band's versatility and willingness to experiment with composition and arrangement. It remains a notable piece for listeners interested in the band's mid-seventies evolution and their mastery of complex musical storytelling. |
