General Crossing (2005 Digital Remaster) - Jethro Tull

Written by：Ian Scott Anderson/Peter John Vettese

It's an old profession

Of subtle artillery

Rough wheels meshing

Button out button in

The tall general will mine

A few bridges tonight

Stroking soft machinery

Fanfare at dawn

Courting green steel

Lined up for world war one

Two three four

It's an old profession

Of subtle artillery

Rough wheels meshing

On a landscape with no trees

The tall general points

To the distance

Disconnects his power supply

Writes a stiff note to his nearest

And dearest

He takes the battle plan

And contemplates his fly

It's an old profession

Of subtle artillery

Rough wheels meshing

Button out button in

The tall general

Flies by the seat of history

The tall general

Is crossing

The tall general

He thinks inevitability

The tall general

Is definitely crossing

With spit and with polish

Time for desperate measures

The pain in the forehead

From holding up to the pressures

Of life on the rim

Of the convenient alliance

Out on the rim

Let me out on the rim

The tall general will walk

Across the compound

With his briefcase and ID

Later they'll post him

Seemingly missing

He's gone to be a general ski

The tall general

Flies by the seat of history

The tall general

Is crossing

The tall general

He thinks inevitability

The tall general

Is definitely crossing

The tall general

The tall general

Is definitely crossing
