Jethro Tull "The Story Of The Hare Who Lost His Spectacles"
Это с альбома "A Passion Play", записанного в 1973 году. Это не столько песня, сколько речитатив под музыку. И очень симпатичное видео.

1) Видео более или менее качественное, но нет вступления.


2) Полный вариант, качество видео похуже.


Something wonderful is happening!

lyrics

This is the story of the hare who lost his spectacles.

Owl loved to rest quietly whilst no one was
watching. Sitting on a fence one day,
he was surprised when suddenly a kangaroo
ran close by. Now this may not
seem strange, but when Owl overheard Kangaroo whisper to no one in
particular, "The hare has lost his
spectacles," well, he began to wonder.
Presently, the moon appeared from behind a
cloud and there, lying on the grass
was hare. In the stream that flowed by the
grass a newt. And sitting astride a
twig of a bush a bee. Ostensibly
motionless, the hare was trembling with
excitement, for without his spectacles he was
completely helpless. Where were
his spectacles? Could someone have stolen
them? Had he mislaid them? What
was he to do? Bee wanted to help, and thinking he had the answer began:
"You probably ate them thinking they were a
carrot." "No!" interrupted Owl,
who was wise. "I have good eye-sight,
insight, and foresight. How could an
intelligent hare make such a silly
mistake?" But all this time, Owl had been
sitting on the fence, scowling! Kangaroo were
hopping mad at this sort of talk.
She thought herself far superior in intelligence to
the others. She was their leader,
their guru. She had the answer: "Hare, you must
go in search of the optician."
But then she realized that Hare was completely
helpless without his spectacles.
And so, Kangaroo loudly proclaimed, "I can't
send Hare in search of anything!"
"You can guru, you can!" shouted Newt.
"You can send him with Owl." But Owl
had gone to sleep. Newt knew too much to be
stopped by so small a problem
"You can take him in your pouch." But
alas, Hare was much too big to fit into
Kangaroo's pouch. All this time, it had been
quite plain to hare that the others
knew nothing about spectacles.
[Sung:] As for all their tempting ideas, well Hare
didn't care. The lost spectacles were
his own affair. And after all, Hare did have a spare a-pair. A-pair.

Классный клип! Театральнаяпсиходелика

manera negra Ага. Там, говорят, в альбоме этот театральный номер разбивает очень серьезную тему - я пока только стихи бегло просмотрела, а надо будет толком послушать весь альбом.
