North Sea Oil Lyrics - Stormwatch - Jethro Tull

Black and viscous--bound to cure blue lethargy 

Sugar-plum petroleum for energy 

Tightrope-balanced payments need a small reprieve 

Oh, please believe we want to be 

In North Sea 

In North Sea oil 

New-found wealth sits on the shelf of yesterday 

Hot-air balloon inflation soon will make you pay 

Riggers rig and diggers dig their shallow grave 

But we'll be saved and what we crave 

Is North Sea 

Is North Sea oil 

Prices boom in Aberdeen and London Town 

Ten more years to lay the fears, erase the frown 

Before we are all nuclear--the better way! 

Oh, let us pray: we want to stay
