Jethro Tull - Acres Wild Lyrics






I'll make love to you
in all good places
under black mountains
in open spaces.
By deep brown rivers
that slither darkly
through far marches
where the blue hare races.

Come with me to the Winged Isle ---
northern father's western child.
Where the dance of ages is playing still
through far marches of acres wild.

I'll make love to you
in narrow side streets
with shuttered windows,
crumbling chimneys.

Come with me to the weary town ---
discos silent under tiles
that slide from roof-tops, scatter softly
on concrete marches of acres wild.

By red bricks pointed
with cement fingers
Flaking damply from sagging shoulders.

Come with me to the Winged Isle ---
northern father's western child.
Where the dance of ages is playing still
through far marches of acres wild.

    Superb. a Celtic bard so far ahead of the norm. Master song writer, master woodwind artist.
    That norm has yet to catch up to Ian and company!

  7. P.... F....

    Tull is my drug of choice!

  12. J.... K....

    Boom beautiful!!

  13. S.... J....

    I remember being so in love with this song that I insisted on having it played at a 10th standard party. The dance floor emptied pretty sharpish, leaving acres wild of untenanted space.

  14. D.... T....

    ❤️😎

  15. M.... G....

    Genius as usual.

  16. T.... W....

    2:32 though..

  17. A.... W....

    What the hell is wrong with the album artwork?

  18. v.... ....

    Pure Folk

  24. M.... S....

    My favorite song!.....on this much listen to cassette!

  25. O.... B....

    one of my many many favourites , does this band even have an average song ? funky disco beat with kind of Irish bouzouki sound

    O.... B....

    "British progressive rock", by genre, I guess

    O.... B....

    +SupernalOne absolutely , best of the best British progressive rock indeed.

  26. E.... P....

    Superb tunage!

  27. W.... T....

    Delicious. Simple, sweet, and artfully assembled.

  28. J.... T....

    I'm definitely going to pick up the flute......(once again once again......

  29. �.... ....

    The bass line is awesomely playful in this one!

  30. G.... L....

    My fiance shared this with me when he came home from his tour in Afghanistan. 3 weeks later he was dead. Listening to this helps a little with the overwhelming grief. Helps me remember how much he loved me. Very few people in your life will be all about the_______ (put in your name. They think you are perfect the way you are...lose a tooth? Gain a few pounds? Stop shaving your legs? Guess what? They think you are beautiful and if you find that person...hold for dear life. You can tell if they are full of it...and when it's genuine...hopefully you feel the same. Holding their hand can be more intimate than the bedroom. I only had Jeffrey a short time, but I know that I will never settle. I'll wait years to find someone else who loves my obsession with time travel and listens to my dark twisty poetry and always gives me genuine praise. I pray everyone finds their"Jeffrey".
    Oh and the song? What the heck are blue hare races? Thanks for listening, it means the world to me! 🌎

    G.... L....

    Thank you for those beautiful and meaningful words.

    G.... L....

    o shid fam

    I am so sorry. My this song soothe you and keep the memories of your wonderful fiance forever.

    G.... L....

    Im 45 n still waiting my turn. No rush either . I hope You have found smiles. ✌🌐

    G.... L....

    So sorry for your loss from a 19 year vet, till we all muster for the last time. A hero for ever. 🇬🇧

  31. c.... ....

    Such an odd musical transition on this song- back and forth from a mandolin and bodhrán sort of Irish folk to an almost disco thing.

    c.... ....

    It's folk disco.

    c.... ....

    I've never heard of this music genre...sounds decent. Can you think of any other artists who could be considered folk disco? Now you have me very intrigued! Thanks for teaching me something new today! 🎸
    Cheers!

    c.... ....

    Greenbelt Lostgirl
    Sorry , nobody is like Tull .........but just enjoy their massive catalogue .
    You'll find all you need to know at - 'Cup of Wonder '..site ........best of luck .

    G.... G....

    its the greek letter zee Z - ζ

  38. O.... R....

    Folk and disco have never worked together better.

    O.... R....

    That's seems likely. Don't get me wrong. I listen to this all the time. I love JT and I haven't been to many dance clubs, but I wonder if people were actually able to dance to it. I'm trying, but it's nerdy-going thus far -- like in the Amazon rain forest without a machete.

    O.... R....

    we used to call it progressive rock

    O.... R....

    I think you are extraordinary, Kitti. Keep trying to dance, my love.

    O.... R....

    @White Tigress Try a jig.

    O.... R....

    i think progressive folk describes Jethro Tull better

  39. S.... N....

    One of my many all time favourites from the inimitable Jethro Tull

  40. f.... ....

    can't help but love how tull goes all different sounds through the years but still keeps a base.....ian Anderson is a true musical artist!!!!!

    f.... ....

    EXACTLY! Tull is one of a kind

  41. D.... A....

    isso eh música escutou Brasil???

  42. r.... b....

    I'm a peasant. 

    r.... b....

    @Sudhir Narasimhan I don't want to be a peasant. I consider myself to be a free man. The thing is, I get treated like a peasant by my 'superiors'.

    r.... b....

    Haha ya me too, seen Tull in 88 good times...

    r.... b....

    I guess I'll have to get off your land (except when I'm toiling on it).

    r.... b....

    Get off my land.

    r.... b....

    Good peasant stock.

  43. B.... r....

    Jethro Tull  - Most Complete Band Ever !!!!

  44. M.... G....

    I'll make love to you
    in all good places
    under black mountains
    in open spaces.
    By deep brown rivers
    that slither darkly
    through far marches
    where the blue hare races.

    Come with me to the Winged Isle ---
    northern father's western child.
    Where the dance of ages is playing still
    through far marches of acres wild.

    M.... G....

    Back in '78 all the rivers weren't filled with algae overgrowth quite yet.

    M.... G....

    Jetru tull ring out s

    M.... G....

    No thank you, i am more into females

    M.... G....

    And my Connemara shall stomp through the peat. If you should find me there, we will meet. On a winged dappled pony I gallop through the bog along the ridge of the moor. On top of the Palisades we fly. Through the heavens and into her door.

    M.... G....

    TheBoldImperator this song isn’t about America. 🙄

  45. t.... ....

    My personal favourite of Jethro Tull! It is just .. magical!

  46. K.... ....

    This song makes me feel frisky! Jethro Tull have a lot of songs that do that to me!

    K.... ....

    Moi Aussi.

    K.... ....

    Overlooked so much.

  47. S.... ....

    This deserves more views

  48. m.... ....

    Totally excellent Ian Anderson ... dig that high hat !! ... the only trouble is it's not long enough ...

  49. M.... O....

    Leon me fez gostar de Jethro Tull rs.

  50. S.... ....

    OK, i'm going to be pretentious and quickly analyse the album cover. It has the brown and green of earth and trees; its central figure is a man in rustic attire who looks knackered, looking toward the ground as he plods (maybe because he feels defeated, is uncertain about where his life is going or will push on despite the unwelcoming future); the man is dragging/leading two seemingly weighty equine creatures. I think the album cover fits perfectly.

  51. F.... P....

    leon :)

  52. m.... c....

    FINALLY I'VE FOND THIS SONG!! <3

  53. r.... ....

    GREAT GREAT JETHRO TULL WITH THE BEST IAN ANDERSON

  54. A.... D....

    I don't know what would be wrong with the artwork, I love it.

  55. u.... ....

    Ha ha. Not the greatest album cover in the history of rock...but plenty of quality in the musicianship. Like most of what Tull shared with us over the years.

    Great band.

  56. g.... ....

    Love It!!!!!!!

  57. g.... ....

    Love It!!!!!!!

  58. g.... ....

    Jethro Tull Rocks!!!!!!!

  59. g.... ....

    Love Jethro Tull

  60. g.... ....

    Love Jethro Tull

  61. g.... ....

    Love Jethro Tull!!!!!

    g.... ....

    I thought you loved the Giants?!? Just asking....

  62. w.... ....

    Little known fact. Not only did Ian Anderson drag the horses to water, he made them drink.

    They thanked him later and bought him a round.

    w.... ....

    He's running for mare, the artful stallion. May the greenwood rein supreme.

  63. G.... w....

    hahaha yeah

  64. R.... B....

    brasileiro fã de Jethro Tull? Um pouco raro, mas fico feliz de encontrar

  65. D.... M....

    good drum

  66. B.... ....

    Sabbath has one of the scariest album covers ever but it's not Born Again. Their first album ( Black Sabbath ) has always given me the creeps. That green witch and the stone house in the background. Scary!

  67. c.... ....

    Really? I think this cover's badass.

  68. L.... ....

    no the album cover is cool i think

  69. R.... ....

    I loved this album had never heard JT before I saw this album years ago and it was the unique and captivating album cover that brought JT into my world!! I love equines so that album cover attracted me

  70. T.... S....

    Ian with two Clydesdales?? What wrong with that? Heavy Horses is the name of the album....sheeesh!

  71. G.... w....

    @rrobbyv well the worst ive ever sen is black sabath born again. but still the music was really good.

  72. r.... ....

    @PaoloPiantino sorry - I mean't the album artwork was the worst. The music is all great! There is no other version I am aware of.

  73. r.... ....

    Probably the worst album cover in the world - but a great album!

  74. A.... W....

    Puro talento = )

  75. N.... L....

    Jethro Tull is fantastic :D

  76. R.... L....

    @PaoloPiantino Jetrhro Tull dispensa comentários =D
