Savage night on a misty island. Lights wink out in the canyon walls.
Two old boys in a stolen racer. Black rubber contrails in the unwashed halls.
And all roads out of here, seem to lead right back to the Rock Island.
Rock Island.
I've gone back to Paris, London, and even riding on a jumbo to Bombay.
The long haul back holds faint attraction, but the people here know they're o.k.
See the girl following the red balloon: walking all alone on her Rock Island.
Rock Island.
Doesn't everyone have their own Rock Island? Their own little patch of sand?
Where the slow waves crawl and your angels fall and you find you can hardly stand.
And just as you're drowning, well, the tide goes down.
And you're back on your Rock Island.
Rock Island.
Hey there girlie with the torn dress, shaking: who was it touched you?
Who was it ruined your day?
Whose footprint calling card? And what they want, stepping on your beach anyway?
I'll be your life raft out of here, but you'd only drift right back to your Rock Island.
Rock Island.
Hey, boy with the personal stereo: nothing 'tween the ears but that hard rock sound.
Playing to your empty room, empty guitar tune,
No use waiting for that C.B.S. to come around.
'cause all roads out of here, seem to lead right back to your Rock Island.
Rock Island.
Doesn't everyone have their own Rock Island? Their own little patch of sand?
Where the slow waves crawl and your angels fall and you find you can hardly stand.
And just as you're drowning, well, the tide goes down.
And you're back on your Rock Island.
Rock Island. Rock Island. Rock Island. Rock Island.

Jethro Tull è un gruppo musicale britannico formatosi nel 1967. Fondato dal multi-strumentista Ian Anderson, noto per il suo uso distintivo del flauto tra i generi rock, la band ha raggiunto fama internazionale negli anni '70 con un sound che fonde elementi di blues, folk e progressive rock. Il loro stile musicale è caratterizzato da arrangiamenti complessi, testi poetici e l'uso innovativo del flauto come strumento principale. Tra le canzoni più famose ci sono "Aqualung", "Thick as a Brick" e "Locomotive Breath". L'album "Thick as a Brick", un concept album di finzione pubblicato nel 1972, è considerato uno dei capolavori del progressive rock. Jethro Tull ha vinto un Grammy Award per il miglior album rock strumentale nel 1970 con l'album "Stand Up". La band continua ad esibirsi e registrare musica fino ai giorni nostri.

My favorite group when I was just a teenager were the Fugees, thanks to them a certain curiosity about english language was born in me. I wanted to know and understand the lyrics of their songs, it wasn't enough for me to be carried away exclusively by their beautiful music.
Sweden and the United States are two countries far from each other, thousands of kilometers separate them, the language, culinary and sporting traditions, I don't feel so categorical about the landscapes, not knowing all of America there may be states that have the same reliefs of the country of northern Europe, but on one thing I am sure
