See There a Man Is Born/Clear White Circles - Jethro Tull

See there!

A man is born

And we pronounce him fit for peace

There’s a load lifted from his shoulders

With the discovery of his disease

We’ll take a child from him

Put it to the test

Teach it to be a wise man

And how to fool the rest

We will be geared to the average, rather than the exceptional

God is an overwhelming responsibility

We walked through the maternity ward

And saw 218 babies wearing nylons

It says here that cats are on the upgrade

Upgrade?

Hipgrave

Oh, Mac

In the clear white circles of morning wonder

I take my place with the lord of the hills

And the blue-eyed soldiers stand slightly discoloured

In neat little rows sporting canvas frills

With their jock-straps pinching, they slouch to attention

While queuing for sarnies at the office canteen

Saying: «How's your granny?»

and good old Ernie

He coughed up a tenner on a premium bond win
