Jethro Tull – Up the 'Pool Lyrics 14 years ago
I think the Edward Bear reference may be a nod to the politicians blaming rock and roll for the problems of the UK back then. People were calling Rock and roll the spawn of the devil, in that era, and Anderson may have been citing edward bear the rock and roll group who sang: This is the last song, I'll ever write for you. Edward Bear was a a particularly tame rock and roll group, so the joke would be that much more incisive towards the politicians.
