Man Of Principle - Jethro Tull

Written by：Ian Anderson

One day he'll walk

From out of this place

You'll see a quiet determination

On his face

He'll toe no lines

Suffer no fools

But he'll raise three cheers

To the losing team

From the other school

A little dedication

A little pair of daddy's shoes to fill

Compleat education

One day he'll be a man of principle

And the battle's on

And he'll play to win

Feel the blue blood rushing

Quick beneath his skin

And grim they stand

And hard they fall

Harder still when their backs

Are up against the wall

Gonna get your attention

But he's carrying his 'cross

To the other hill

With divine intervention

He can be a man of principle

In the evening light

With a fair ground girl

He stops himself as his head begins to whirl

And he walks her home

And there's a kiss goodbye

She feels a chill as she

Looks him in the eye

Well there's a time and a place now

And it's not tonight she'll bend his will

Slow realization

She's looking at a man of principle

Hung from the highest station

By his old school tie

Undressed to kill

He could be a real sensation

But he's a man of principle

A little dedication

A little pair of daddy's shoes to fill

Compleat education

One day he'll be a man of principle

It's gonna get your attention

But he's carrying his 'cross

To the other hill

With divine intervention

He can be a man of principle
