Shunt and Shuffle Lyrics by Ian Anderson

Thick as a Brick: Live in Iceland

2012

Same old words, another day while all the time life slips away
But slips so slowly, stretches moments into slow-burn Passion Play
While barren Madge prepares hot dinner
Fray Bentos pie: always a winner

Then home to fire up model trains and shunt and shuffle carriages
Sweet loco breath upon his brow
Banish thoughts of clockwork marriages
While barren Madge prepares hot dinner
Fray Bentos pie: always a winner
