Automotive Engineering lyrics

Song information

Artist: Jethro Tull
Album: Under Wraps

Lyrics

In the hands of science ---
The complete appliance
We're moved to motor
Do you fly a spitfire?
Do you slide on a tea-tray?
Or walk on a short trip (sundays)
Or drive come what may (enjoy)

Automotive science and engineering

When big was better ---
And fast was chic
The oil was cheaper ---
Now we're up the creek
But the japs are coming
And everyone's turbo'd
And carbon fibre
Is the way to go, go

Down at the robot factory
Things are humming
New radical suspension ---
No humans testing
(Wind it up, wind it up.)
Take a trip
In your freudian slip
Doctor ferdinand (ferdie)
Has you in his grip
