WordWolf Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 (edited) The artist is Jethro Tull, but I don't know the name of the song, even though I've mulled it over for a day. I know it was quite a popular song, and I've got the melody and some of the lyrics, but I just can't grasp the lyrics that would tell me the name. And then I think, I have never known the name of this song. So, the artist is as far as I can take it. Ok, you've got the artist, so you can take the round. Maybe I was thinking about this because the other guy called HIMSELF "The Teacher" ======= Well the dawn was coming, heard him ringing on my bell. He said, ``My name's 'The Teacher', that is what I call myself. And I have a lesson that I must impart to you. It's an old expression, but I must insist it's true. Jump up, look around, find yourself some fun, no sense in sitting there hating everyone. No man's an island and his castle isn't home, the nest is for nothing when the bird has flown.'' So I took a journey, threw my world into the sea. With me went the teacher, who found fun instead of me. Hey man, what's the plan, what was that you said? Sun-tanned, drink in hand, lying there in bed. I try to socialize but I can't seem to find what I was looking for, got something on my mind. Then the teacher told me it had been a lot of fun. Thanked me for his ticket and all that I had done. Hey man, what's the plan, what was that you said? Sun-tanned, drink in hand, lying there in bed. I try to socialize but I can't seem to find what I was looking for, got something on my mind. ======== Go, bfh!

It was played on album oriented stations so that counts. I remember it I just can't think of the song right now

Don't know the title but then I never did like the stones to much. unless it was covered by Flying Burrito brothers also which would make it dead flowers but I think that's another song.
