7. Jethro Tull – Cross-Eyed Mary. 30 Comments; General Comment"'Cross-Eyed Mary' is a song about another form of low life, but more humorous. It's about a schoolgirl prostitute but not in such coarse terms. She goes with dirty old men because she's doing them a favour, giving people what they want because it makes them happy.

8. Jethro Tull's first album of the '90s and third since coming back with the excellent, Crest of a Knave, was the blues driven hard rock album, Catfish Rising. An album that for a lack of better words, shows a band getting their mojo back. The album Rock Island had Jethro Tull firmly place their foot back into the world of rock music/5(62).
