Subject: RE: Great turns of phrase in lyrics
thanks for mentioning Tull; My favorite Ian Anderson lyric, from Songs from the Wood (Velvet Green, a song of a seducer of ladies in the fields), offers lots of subtly bawdy imagery:

"where the scent of wild roses turns the milk to cream"

hmmm...must listen to that album today!
