Jethro Tull - Broadford Bazaar Lyrics

Send "Broadford Bazaar" ringtone to your cell

Dirty white caravans down our road sailing.

Vivas cortinas weaving in their wake.

With hot red-faced drivers horns flattened fists whaling

Putting trust in blind corners as they overtake.

And it's ``all come willing now

Spend a shilling now

Stack up the back of your new motor-car.''

There's home-dyed woolens and wee plastic [cuillins]

[blessed? ] [cuchulains? ]

[cuchulain == mythical irish hero --- wee plastic cuchulains? ]

[jo-l@kcbbs.gen.nz (jo lobb) explains: broadford is a town on

Skye (where the road that passes dun ringill leaves the main

Road incidentally) and skye's famous cuillin hills are nearby.

I suppose tourists could be expected to buy wee plastic models

Of spectacular hills .... also the cuillin hills are ``also

Known as the coolins or cuchullins possibly after an ossianic

Hero...'' so maybe wee plastic model heroes do make sense after

All.]

The day of the broadford bazaar.

Out of the north no oil-rigs are drifting.

And jobs for the many are down to the few.

Blue-bottle choppers they visit no longer.

Like flies to the jampots they were just passing through.

And it's ``all come willing now

Spend a shilling now

Stack up the back of your new motor-car''

Where once stood oil-rigs so phallic

There's only swear-words in gaelic

To say at the broadford bazaar.

All kinds of people come down for the opening.

Crofters and cottiers white [wild? ] settlers galore.

[crofter == farmer renting land]

[cottier == farmer renting land]

And up on the hill there's an old sheep that's dying

But it had two new lambs born just a fortnight before.

And it's ``all come willing now

Spend a shilling now

Stack up the back of your new motor-car.''

We'll take pounds francs and dollars from the well-heeled

And stamps from the green shield.

The day of the broadford bazaar.
