===Cross-Eyed Mary===
===Cross-Eyed Mary===
This is the second song on the album, following "Aqualung" and coming before "Cheap Day Return". The song first starts out with a scene of a homless man who would do anything to get back at the rich people ignoring him (And who would steal the candy/From a laughing baby's mouth/If he could take it from the money man.). Then, the song goes to Mary, who is a rich girl (Dines in Hampstead village//On expense accounted gruel). In this song, whilst out at the playground, she notices Aqualung, who she gives money to. She takes from her rich house and gives to the poor (She's the Robin Hood of Highgate --/Helps the poor man get along.).

===Cheap Day Return===
This is the third track on the album, after "Cross-Eyed Mary" and before "Mother Goose". This song is aqustic, only feturing the aqustic guitar. This song is about Ian Anderson visiting his chronically ill father (And you sadly wonder/Does the nurse treat your old man/The way she should.).
===Mother Goose===
This is the fourth song on the album, coming after "Cheap Day Return" and before "Wond'ring Aloud". This track does not really have any connection to the Mother Goose of children's stories. This song is about a person that goes to a fair and sees many things. This song is also very aqustic.
===Wond'ring Aloud===
This is the fifth song on the album, coming after "Mother Goose" and before "Up To Me". This song is another aqustic song. This song is about a couple having sex (As we start both our hearts beating life/Into each other.). Then, it goes on to states that the only way that you can become better is by giving things up.
