Rainbow Blues Lyrics

Cover art for Rainbow Blues lyrics by Jethro Tull

I think in this song Ian anderson is talking about performing live or touring. It soon becomes a routine. Different countries but they soon start to look the same.

I take from this song that when hes on stage he puts on a kind of mask, that perhaps an alter ego comes out which would make sense of-

But I had a most funny feeling --- It wasnt me they were shouting for.

Im not so sure of the chorus. But it's my favourite part of the song. He doesn't feel he fits inside this routine world where everything is organised and categorised. So he'll wait behind a rainbow til the show is done.

or maybe this song just embodies his loathing of the world.
