Jethro Tull - Drive On The Young Side Of Life Lyrics
Your mother she protected you
And softened every blow
And brought you up to fear the worst
To be careful as you go
With drip-feed (thrifty?) facts to fill
You up to here with reason
Well-meaning overkill
If you find yourself a-growing
to be old before your time
Get off the endless corridor
Set your soul out on the line
Drive on the young side of life
When the pressure pains are building
And you're forced to join the crush
In the race to mediocrity
So respectable and plush
And while the child within is raging
And threatens to break out
Get off the endless corridor
Make a timely turnabout
Drive on the young side of life.

Jethro Tull Drive On The Young Side Of Life Comments
Martin sawing off some thick slabs of barre chords. Pun intended!
Ian Anderson genial lindo magnífico, o músico mais livre e autêntico depois de Beethoven e Mozart. O espírito deles (Mozart e Beethoven )vive em nosso meio.
this is one truly underrated album, beautiful songs. especially the ones that were the first nucleus of "a passion play" (which is the best JT album in my opinion). i'm really proud to own this two CD.
RealHogweed , I quite agree about Nightcap, truly an excellent album indeed. Songs on cd2 very strong indeed.

What album was this cut from and who did the backing vocals? Good song.
A leftover from the Broadswoard sessions. I believe it is Ian and Peter V on the backing vocals.
Dave Pegg also sang background vocals. He could be on this too.
My God this is one of their best songs... Martin Barre at its best...
