Aqualung is the fourth studio album by the rock band Jethro Tull, released in 1971. It is regarded, despite the band's disagreement, as a concept album featuring a central theme of "the distinction between religion and God". The album's "dour musings on faith and religion" have marked it as "one of the most cerebral albums ever to reach millions of rock listeners". Aqualung's success signalled a turning point in the band's career, which went on to become a major radio and touring act.

Aqualung (Steven Wilson Mix). 1. Aqualung - Steven Wilson Stereo Remix. 2. Cross-Eyed Mary - Steven Wilson Stereo Remix. Aqualung did establish one of the most notable features of Tull’s music: songs varying with intensity, mixing medium to heavy electrical sounds with lighter acoustical passages (. Aqualung, and My God ). Indeed, every album up to Under Wraps (1984) would have at least one such styled number.

Jethro Tull vocalist and flute player Ian Anderson wrote the song and called it "a guilt-ridden song of confusion about how you deal with beggars, the homeless. The album cover was a watercolor painting of the character Aqualung created by the artist Burton Silverman. Jethro Tull's manager Terry Ellis commissioned him after seeing his work in Time magazine. Burton took some photos of Ian Anderson wearing his old overcoat before he painted the cover, and the resulting work looked a lot like a haggard version of Ian, who was not pleased with the painting.

Produced by Terry Ellis & Ian Anderson. Sitting on a park bench Eyeing little girls with bad intent Snot running down his nose Greasy fingers smearing shabby clothes Hey Aqualung Drying in the cold sun Watching as the frilly panties run Hey Aqualung Feeling like a dead duck Spitting out pieces of his broken luck Whoa Aqualung. Sun streaking cold An old man wandering lonely Taking time The only way he knows Leg hurting bad As he bends to pick a dog-end He goes down to the bog And warms his feet. Feeling alone The army's up the road Salvation a la mode and A cup of tea Aqualung my friend Don't you start away uneasy You poor old sod, you see, it's only me Oh oh oh oh o. .Dee dee dee dee Dee dee dee dee dee dee dee Dee dee dee dee dee dee Dee dee dee dee.
