Jethro Tull - Slipstream Lyrics






Well the lush separation enfolds you
And the products of wealth
Push you along on the bow wave
Of their spiritless undying selves
And you press on God's waiter your last dime
As he hands you the bill
And you spin in the slipstream
Timeless unreasoning
Paddle right out of the mess

And you paddle right out of the mess

    Wager people, as in you wager your last dime on a bad bet. Not waiter 😒

    It's "waiter", absolutely... I had the album and it came with a lyric sheet... pretty clear from the context anyway "...as he hands you the bill..."

  5. D.... T....

    Well, the lush separation unfolds you
    And the products of wealth
    Push you along on the bow wave
    Of their spiritless undying selves
    And you press on God's waiter your last dime
    As he hands you the bill
    And you spin in the slipstream
    Timeless, unreasoning
    Paddle right out of the mess
    And you paddle right out of the mess

    "Slipstream"

    Well the lush separation unfolds you --
    and the products of wealth
    push you along on the bow wave
    of the spiritless undying selves.
    And you press on God's waiter your last dime --
    as he hands you the bill.
    And you spin in the slipstream --
    timeless -- unreasoning --
    paddle right out of the mess.

    D.... B....

    I heard * You press on GODS wager, not waiter.

    D.... B....

    I think its “waiter” because he follows up with “as he hands you the bill”
