Kaian Ácrata
Sitting on a park bench
Eyeing little girls with bad intent
Snot's running down his nose
Greasy fingers, smearing shabby clothes
Hey, Aqualung
Drying in the cold sun
Watching as the frilly panties run
Hey, Aqualung
Feeling like a dead duck
Spitting out pieces of his broken luck
Oh, Aqualung
Sun streaking cold
An old man wandering lonely
Taking time the only way he knows
Leg hurting bad
As he bends to pick a dog-end
He goes down to the bog and warms his feet
Feeling alone
The army's up the road
Salvation a la mode and a cup of tea
Aqualung, my friend
Don't you start away uneasy
You poor old sod
You see, it's only me
Do you still remember
December's foggy freeze
When the ice that clings on to your beard
Was screaming agony?
And you snatch your rattling last breaths
With deep-sea diver sounds
And the flowers bloom like madness in the spring
Sun streaking cold
An old man wandering lonely
Taking time the only way he knows
Leg hurting bad
As he bends to pick a dog-end
He goes down to the bog and warms his feet
Feeling alone
The army's up the road
Salvation a la mode and a cup of tea
Aqualung, my friend
Don't you start away uneasy
You poor old sod
You see, it's only me
Me, oh-oh-oh
Aqualung, my friend
Don't you start away uneasy
You poor old sod
You see, it's only me, yeah
Sitting on a park bench
Eying little girls with bad intent
Snot's running down his nose
Greasy fingers smearing shabby clothes
Hey, Aqualung
Drying in the cold sun
Watching as the frilly panties run
Hey, Aqualung
Feeling like a dead duck
Spitting out pieces of his broken luck
Hey, Aqualung
Woah, Aqualung

Matt Engle
One of the best guitar solos ever recorded in my opinion.
Robert Mayer
After many years listening to it I came to the same conclusion. It is a perfect solo. Each and every note has purpose, weight and drives the passion in the delivery. The phrasing, the tone, the use and control of feedback, the dynamics and climax. It is a story unto itself. A masterpiece. It needs to be played loud on a top end stereo system or with high end headphones for the full effect.
Curtis Lowe
Hands down. Give the Lynyrd Skynyrd tune Am I Losin' a listen if you are unfamiliar with it. The solo is similar in being melodic rather than show-offy or incendiary like so many other solos.
Stephen Douglass
Jimmy Page had just walked into the control room at the beginning of the solo and was watching. Barre initially wanted to quit the take and go talk to him, but he pushed through instead. Seems to have worked out well.
