JETHRO TULL - Post Last
One two three Two
The editor lies screaming (begging in his working drink),
Questioning ``Who is God's favorite rock star this week?''
And will the front page pay (take?) him?
The deadline for the headline is the breadline.

JETHRO TULL - Rock Island
<br />Savage night on a misty island. Lights wink out in the<br />canyon walls.<br />Two old boys in a stolen racer. Black rubber contrails in<br />the unwashed halls.<br />And all roads out of here, seem to lead right back to the<br />R...
