Up To Me Lyrics

Cover art for Up To Me lyrics by Jethro Tull

Well, when I heart it for the first time when it was new, it was one of the ones that spoke to me, though I couldn't make out all the things it said.

One thing I liked was the attention grabbing flute work contrasting to the plain speaking in the lines (even when the a phrase was a biblical one like 'comes to pass').

Been pondering Anomaly57 thoughts about how the speaker was God. Maybe, though the use of "we" at first, and the "Now Im a common working man..." stanza belies it.

No, I think the singer is just a young man beginning to realize how, unlike when he was younger, it is virtually all up to him, even the things that aren't -- to fascinate a girl, to accidently damage his cousin's glasses in a row, to wear his pants the way he likes, and if he has had a few and doesn't like your face, to try and change it.

He definetly likes it all being up to him.
