Jethro Tull - Heavy Water Lyrics
I walked out in the city night,
A burning in my eyes, like it was broad daylight.
And it was hot, down there in the crowd.
The stars went out behind a thunder cloud.
Chatter in the air, like a telegraph line.
Thumping in my heart, and it's hurting me to see.
Smokestack blowing, now they're pouring
heavy water on me.
She was a southern girl. We stared man to man.
I move like a stranger in this strange land.
She was a round hole, I was a square peg.
I watched the little black specks running down her leg.
Didn't seem to mind that dirty rain coming down ---
shirt hanging open. She was wet and brown.
Smokestack blowing, now they're pouring
heavy water on me.
What goes up has to fall back down.
It's no night to be out dancing in a party town
when it runs hot and it runs so wide ---
running in the street like a thin black tide.
Chatter in the air, like a telegraph line.
Big drops hissing on the neon sign.
Thumping in my heart, and it's hurting me to see.
Smokestack blowing, now they're pouring
heavy water on me.

Jethro Tull Heavy Water Comments
Rock Island - one of the best Jethro Tull album!
I first liked Tull when I was 12 and used to play drums along whole albums at a time. I really enjoy this album as well. Aqualung is one I love to jam too..
Rock Island is one of the greatest albums no one remembers.
Not one of their best tbh, a good b-side at best.
I never understood why this track got such a low like... LOVEEEEEE this album... such a gorgeous song!!
I think 'Rock Island' is their best 80s effort. Solid album! I love all the 80s albums though, 'Broadsword And the Beast' and the tour is a my second favourite. 'Crest on a Knave' is solid as well. 'A' and 'Under Wraps' has some great songs on them too, like 'Black Sunday', 'European Legacy' and 'Astronomy'.
I agree.
One dude drank too much Heavy Water, or maybe, has little black specks running down his leg......
please, can any one make a Karaoke Version of this Song?
She was a southern girl, we stood man to man!
“She was a southern girl; we stared man to man.” Hilarious. Love it.
watched them live 1989 houston Tx
è bellissima! La risento ora dopo anni e devo dire che spacca di brutto!
troppo forte
Ah I don't know what to do, I want to listen to every Jethro Tull song at the same time. What a great band.
Wonder filled were the days when we played a new Tull album for the first time and Rock Island's cover sure fueled the excitement and anticipation and never were we let down with the musical content
this is how it is done 4 x 105 =
My favourite Tull's guitar solo
The B E S T !! :-)) Thanks ...
Love it!!!
