Name that Tune

The artist is Jethro Tull, but I don't know the name of the song,

even though I've mulled it over for a day.

I know it was quite a popular song, and I've got the melody and some of the lyrics,

but I just can't grasp the lyrics that would tell me the name.

And then I think, I have never known the name of this song.

So, the artist is as far as I can take it.

Ok, you've got the artist, so you can take the round.

Maybe I was thinking about this because the other guy

called HIMSELF "The Teacher"

=======

Well the dawn was coming, heard him ringing on my bell.

He said, ``My name's 'The Teacher', that is what I call myself.

And I have a lesson that I must impart to you.

It's an old expression, but I must insist it's true.

Jump up, look around, find yourself some fun,

no sense in sitting there hating everyone.

No man's an island and his castle isn't home,

the nest is for nothing when the bird has flown.''

So I took a journey, threw my world into the sea.

With me went the teacher, who found fun instead of me.

Hey man, what's the plan, what was that you said?

Sun-tanned, drink in hand, lying there in bed.

I try to socialize but I can't seem to find

what I was looking for, got something on my mind.

Then the teacher told me it had been a lot of fun.

Thanked me for his ticket and all that I had done.

Hey man, what's the plan, what was that you said?

Sun-tanned, drink in hand, lying there in bed.

I try to socialize but I can't seem to find

what I was looking for, got something on my mind.

========

Go, bfh!

More clues:

If you had just a minute to breathe

And they granted you one final wish

Would you ask for something like another chance?

Another clue:

The percentage you're paying is too high priced

While you're living beyond all you means

I believe the name of the song is "Welcome Back" and the artist is John Sebastian?

If I'm not mistaken, this song was the theme song for Welcome Back Kotter -

or as one of the characters used to say (maybe John Travolta's) Mr. Ka-Tear.

New tune:

Been away so long I hardly knew the place

Gee, it's good to be back home

"Back in the USSR" by the Beatles

Next clue:

"I come home in the morning light "

I think it's "You Make Me Feel Like a Natural Woman" by Aretha (or the Captain and Tennille), but I'll wait for confirmation before posting another.

George

Nope - Sorry George. Think younger ;)

More clues:

And I can remember the Fourth of july,

Runnin through the backwood, bare.

And I can still hear my old hound dog barkin,

Chasin' down a hoodoo there.

Another clue:

Now, when I was just a little boy,

Standin' to my daddys knee,

"Some think that happiness is measured out in years.

You don't know what it's like to listen to your fears."

"Some kind of solitude is measured out in you.

You think you know me but you haven't got a clue."

"You can talk to me.

You can talk to me.

If you're lonely you can talk to me."
