" Newsmen", huh? Hmm... "Jump Start" from Crest of a Knave is what popped into my head on that one. But that's "newsman", singular. I suppose you wanted the plural. That would be found in "Jeffrey Goes To Leicester Square": Confession: I had to cheat (i.e., use Google) to get the plural version, though once I saw the snippet, that song came to mind right away. But I got the singular "newsman" from "Jump Start" on my own. I came along relatively late as a Tull fan (in the eighties), so most of what I listen to has been from about the mid-seventies onward. I'm not quite as hip to the earlier stuff, though as a dedicated fan, I love it, too. Bingo! Jeffery goes to Liecester Square, nice one either way!

Oh- I suppose I'm up next. My lunch shall provide the inspiration. Guess what I've dashed atop my pasta Alfredo. The next word is curry. I will stand down on this one and make room for someone else.... : Darin

No Rehearsal "The electrician has been told to make the spotlights brighter." To you then, Zombywoof. What mystery word shall ye tantalize us with, eh? Edit: Unless, of course, TM intended us to have "spotlight" in a different context than used previously? As in, "spotlight" singular, not plural? Edit (again): Aha. I've got it, I think. (Must confess that I cheated a tad with a search engine to confirm it.) From 4WD (Low Ratio), on the "A" album: That was a toughie, 'cause I'd never really heard that line very well before. In fact, I just had to play the song and rewind it several times there and still couldn't really understand the lyric too well. OK, if that's right, then, I'll select my next mystery word from the song that is presently issuing forth from my speakers. " lumpy". Or " chalk". Same song. Thought I'd give you two clues to make it a bit easier, since we might be goin' off the beaten path a bit. (Should still be absurdly easy for the likes of y'all.) That was it - 4WD!

Guess I should amend the rules slightly to keep the game flowing. You may cheat with search engines as a last resort, but only if everybody seems to be stumped and we've been stalled for a while. And you must 'fess up to the deed, as I just did. (I was halfway there on "newsmen" but needed a boost to get the plural use of it.) Sometimes it's good to Google a lyric to confirm a hunch. And sometimes that reveals words in lyrics you'd misheard for years and didn't even know were there! As an American, the finer points of Brit slang sometimes slip past me. So, who wants a crack at curry, then? One point for the equestrian noun usage. Two points for the slightly tougher culinary verb usage. Five points for both. You can do it... I know you can. Update- Daaang! TM nailed the two-point culinary clue while I was typing! Bravo! The equestrian noun usage comes from Heavy Horses: OK, on with TM's word then. Hmmm... " Carbon"? Well, " carbon fiber is the way to go, go, go", according to "Automotive Engineering" on the Under Wraps album. If I am correct, gimme a sec to come up with another word...

OK, Google confirms I was right about carbon fiber, though I used the American spelling instead of "fibre" (eh, whoops).
So my next puzzler is the word trenches.

Hint: the narrator of this particular song died in those trenches, at a pivotal WW2 battle. He also mentions dying in a more recent British military involvement, which was extensively televised.

(I just hit my limit on emoticons too!) Thats a pretty big clue Marcovan, I'm not sure I can avoid that one, be back in a while LOL DC

That hint made it very easy to figure out. Mountain Men Did my tour, did my duty. I did all they asked of me. Died in the trenches and at El Alamein ...died in the Falklands on T.V. Going back to the mountain kings Where the sound of the piper counts for everything.

I forgot I'm supposed to give the next word. So here goes, sticking with the war theme, the word is "demobbed". And your time begins now. Good luck players!

"Sparkle", is it?
That has me stumped... for the moment.
Guess I tipped my hand a wee bit too far forward with that hint on "trenches", eh? LOL

They play this song a lot on Jethro Tull Radio.
Undressed to kill There was a tear drop sparkle on the inside of her thigh.
New word: brainwashing.
This one should be easy. One of my favorite songs.
and the brainwashing government lackeys would have us say. Great song indeed. I think we should all try to refrain from googling the answer unless no one can guess it. Okay, so here we go, the password is: Chicken

Darin Sometimes there's more than one right answer. If a person comes up with a correct answer you didn't think of, give 'em credit but also tell 'em the one you were thinkin' of. Then let 'em pick their next word and take their turn. BTW, we ARE sometimes doing Ian solo stuff. That is permissible. (See the title of this thread.) It really all depends on the choice of the person who's "it". If you post one, you can choose to tell us whether it is Tull only or Ian solo, at your discretion. Good ones, all. I shoulda guessed "sparkle". I was just listening to Rock Island. "Undressed to Kill" was never one of my favorites off that album, though. I was dating this British chick at the time, when I got that album in the winter of '89. She cracked up when "Kissing Willie" played. I had no idea of the hidden meaning there. "Strange Avenues" and "Another Christmas Song" are probably my favorites off that album. Funny how certain Tull albums carry seasonal meanings for me. Because I got that one in winter, it is a winter album for me. TOTRARTYTD is a summer album for me. Songs from the Wood and Heavy Horses are Autumn albums. WarChild and Minstrel in the Gallery are springtime albums. Of course I listen to 'em all at any time of the year, depending on my mood, but they carry those associations for me. Do any of the rest of you do this? I shall await the next installment.
