Jethro Tull Toad In The Hole lyrics

I walk along the strand
To catch the late ride home
Shuttle through the evening gloom
knowing I forgot to phone

The back door's open
There's a chill blowing in
Take your warm hands off me
Let the night begin

Shush your mouth, listen to me
I won't say nothing
Just let me be your toad in the hole

Kicking through the wet leaves
Lying all along the Station Road
Past tired graffiti wailing
Raw emotion to unload

There's coal in the fireplace
And money in the bank, too
Deep pile carpets, tinsel wallpaper
Still got the back room to do


Don't be late, got a day's work behind me
Feel a little devastated
But my nights are assigned to you

Toad in the hole
No tom-cat creeping, now
Could ever be so bold
To hang around our place tonight

When I come in from the cold
There's a straight-six in the garage
And some fine wine to cool
Labor-savers in the kitchen
Room in the garden for a pool

Shush your mouth, let imagination run
Here in bed-sit heaven
Where all the best wishing's done
To warm toad in the hole
