Do we inhabit some micro space
and interface through wires.
Dance on a printed circuit board
throw the software to the fires.
My memory's slim so volatile
but I'm learning.
Plug yourself in. Stay for awhile.
Un discerning.
And on dusty terminals
finger me lightly do.
And QWERTY is the name of love
printed on the V.D.U.
Cut yourself free. We're all alone
communicating.
Don't bother me with arithmetic
I'm waiting.
User friendly.
That's what I am to you.
I have to break out of here.
Trapped in my hardware cell.
And come to you as you sleep tonight,
take you back into my hell.
Binary joys and digital sighs
so appealing.
I'm one of the boys and it's only
your mind that I'm stealing.
User friendly.
That's all I am to you.

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.
