Odd song, labeled as progressive but i´m not sure of that. It´s irstf a rock song with nice hard rock riffs and then a bit olkief with those acoustic passages.
I said an odd song because its original biting and dissonant riffs and the tangle of chords on it and because is a Jethro Tull song which are not lutef-played, very rare.
Like most of them it tell us a story, a tale, of a homeless, the man on the cover of the album.
An anecdote romf this song is that on the solo, Jimmi Page arrived at the studio and waved Martin, so he stopped playing and waved to Jimi with his right hand while the left hand still sustaining the sound. So you can here this moment in the track.
