from Genesis - Wind And Wuthering (1977)
(Written by Mike Rutherford)
Go far enough and you will reach, A place where the sea runs underneath. We'll see our shadow, high in the sky, Dying away in the night. I've sailed the world for seven years, And left all I love behind in tears. Won't you come here, wherever you are, I've been alone long enough. You, you have your own special way. Of holding my hand keep it way 'bove the water, Don't ever let go. Oh no, no, no. You, you have your own special way, Of turning the world so it's facing The way that I'm going. Don't ever Don't ever stop. Who's seen the wind, not you or I, But when the ship moves, she's passing by, Between you and me, I really don't think, She knows where she's going at all. You, you have your own special way. Of carrying me twice round the world Never closer to home than the day, The day I started. You, you have your own special way. Hold onto my hand keep it way 'bove the water, Don't ever let go - no, no, no. What mean the dreams night after night, The man in the moon's a blinding light. Won't you come out whoever you are, You've followed me quite long enough. You, you have your own special way Of holding my hand, don't ever let go. You, you have your own special way, Of turning the world so it's facing The way that I'm going. Don't ever, Don't ever leave me. |

What was it you said to me
Back in the days when things looked fine 'bout how we would be together Until we left the earth behind Oh, it's funny how things can change Cos there was a time I thought I'd be the one Who'd leave and start again But now I'd stay forever Ooh my hopes are as the leaves upon the water Just sunk in the night And though I know you couldn't care, you oughtta Ah, the end of a life Or maybe when you're older, and you're thinking back You might recall Now did I act carefully, did I do right? Or were we meant to be, all of our lives In love and harmony, all of our lives? So now, take my hand Come, hold me closely As near as you can Believing all that we could be And all that we have been And all that we are Everyday seems summertime The river flow with wine Ooh when you were here with me I wish we'd stayed that way forever Oh my hopes are as the leaves upon the water Just sunk in the night And though I know you couldn't care, you oughtta Ah, the end of a life Or maybe when you're older, and you're thinking back Well you might recall Now did I act carefully, did I do right? Or were we meant to be, all of our lives In love and harmony, all of our lives? So now, take my hand Come, hold me closely As near as you can Believing all that we could be And all that we have been And all that we are Oh my hopes were as the leaves upon the water Ah, sunk in the night And though I know you couldn't care, you oughtta Oh, the end of a life And maybe when you're older, and you're thinking back Oh, you might recall Now did I act carefully, did I do right?

from Genesis - From Genesis To Revelation (1969)
Slowly eyes trench at my arms freely
Shadows of night disappear. Rise from the slough of despond, find the pathway, Guiding us forward through pastures of Dream day, Days to enjoy, peace I knew once before me, Dawning to dusk on the hills until morning Come see me take my hand, Come see me in my land. Flying invisibly high, watch me. All on a beautiful sky, I'll be Clear and serene in the love I've discovered. Long search is over, the soul is uncovered, Resting on joy that abounds without ceasing, Bidding farewell to the fears now decreasing. Come see me take my hand, Come see me in my land. High upon the golden crested wave she sits, The little nymphs dance in her hair, The trees all becon to the sky to bless their Empty lives, Horizons come to sip wine there, The veiled mist reveals the wandering ship upon the reef, The albatross flies to the stern, And only jack frost saw the kiss you gave him In return Crossing the mountains of truth see them, Soaring majestically high, and then, Stop at the warning light, see it flash brightly, Thunder awakes me, it crashes beside me Shatter the scene and bring chaos to beauty Leading me forward where destiny may be. Come see me take my hand, View from another land. |

from Genesis, Genesis - Trespass (1970)
White Mountain
Thin hung the web like a trap in a cage, The fox lay asleep in his lair. Fangs frantic paws told the tale of his sin. Far off the chase shrieked revenge. Outcast he trespassed where no wolf may tread, The last sacred haunt of the dead. He learnt of a truth which only one wolf may know, The sceptre and crown of the king, Howling for blood, One-eye leads on the pack, Plunging through forests and snow-storms. .. Steep rose the ridge, ghostly peaks climbed the sky, Fang sped through jungles of ice. Hard on his rail, One-eye drew from the pack An old hero conquered by none. Steep, far too steep, grew the pathway ahead Descent was the only escape A wolf never flees in the face of his foe Fang knew the price he would pay One-eye stood before him With the crown upon his head Sceptre raised to deal the deadly blow. .. Fang, Son of Great Fang, the Traitor we seek, The laws of the Brethren say this: That only the King sees the Crown of the Gods And he, the Usurper must die Snarling he tore at the throat of his foe But Fang fought the hero in vain Dawn saw the white mountain tinted with red Never would the crown leave again One-eye hid the crown and with laurels on his head Returned amongst the tribe and dwelt in peace. |

If you take the tears from crying eyes
will the hurt just disappear put a weapon in the hands of a frightened man will he show no fear so we stand and we watch as the city lights go out one by one Mother Nature sits on the other side with a loaded gun Why is there blue sky why is there red sky, now's the time to ask the reason, should the blue sky, meet the red sky should the rules have to change at all we all know whatever they say, time is on our side Ooh this world has been here before just going round and round We all agree as far as we can see It's just the way of the world, that's how it's meant to be There's right and there's wrong There's weak - oh and there's strong It's just the way of the world and that's how it's meant to be Take the motion from a spinning wheel and watch it stop Take the danger out of a naked flame and what have you got If you take the anger out of a broken heart, you feel no pain Could you swear if you had that second chance you wouldn't do it again. Why is there blue sky why is there red sky, now's the time to ask the reason, should the blue sky, meet the red sky should the rules have to change at all we all know whatever they say, time is on our side This world has been here before just going round and round We all agree as far as we can see It's just the way of the world, and that's how it's meant to be There's right and there's wrong There's weak - oh and there's strong It's just the way of the world and that's how it's meant to be We all agree as far as we can see It's just the way of the world, and that's how it's meant to be There's right and there's wrong There's weak - oh and there's strong Cos it's just the way of the world and that's how it's meant to be... |

His is a world alone no world is his own, He whom life can no longer surprise, Raising his eyes beholds a planet unknown. Creatures shaped this planet's soil, Now their reign has come to an end, Has life again destroyed life, Do they play elsewhere, do they know more than their childhood games? Maybe the lizard's shed its tail, This is the end of man's long union with Earth. Judge not this race by empty remains Do you judge God by his creatures when they are dead? For now, the lizard's shed it's tail This is the end of man's long union with Earth. From life alone to life as one, Think not your journey's done For though your ship be sturdy, no Mercy has the sea, Will you survive on the ocean of being? Come ancient children hear what I say This is my parting council for you on your way. Sadly now your thoughts turn to the stars Where we have gone you know you never can go.

Visions Of Angels
Standing in a forest gazing at the son looking at the trees but there's not even one See a rippling stream that smiles and then goes by run to feel its comfort but the water's dry. I see her face and run to take her hand Why she's never there I just don't understand The trumpets sound my whole world crumbles down Visions of angels all around dance in the sky Leaving me here forever goodbye. As the leaves will crumble so will fall my love for the fragile beauty of our lives must fade Though I once remember echoes of my youth now I sense no past, no love that ends in love Take this dream the stars have filled with light As the blossom glides like snowflakes from the trees In vengeance to a god no-one can reach. Visions of angels all around dance in the sky Leaving me here forever goodbye. .. Ice is moving and the world's begun to freeze see the sunlight stopped and deadened by the breeze Minds are empty bodies move insensitive some believe that when they die they really live I believe there never is on end God gave up this world its people long ago Why she's never there I still don't understand Visions of angels all around dance in the sky Leaving me here forever goodbye. etc. |

She packed her bags and dressed
Long before the sunrise No one knew She told them many times About how she would teach them And now it's time Standing quietly by the door Her face is numb with fear She stops and then goes on "Leave forever - it's now or never" Quickly walking down the street It's cold and grey, dawn's breaking She don't mind (she don't mind) Why she feels so grown up now Her life is just beginning She don't know (she don't know) She's standing in the pouring rain Her make-up's running down She wonders now she's here "Where will I go? Who do I know?" Now, now she's not quite so sure I may be wrong but home seems so much more friendly now And they might worry but she doesn't want them to Cos causing pain, that's not the thing that she set out to do So she's back in bed before Anyone can miss her She feels good (she feels good) Knowing the chance was there Deciding not to take it That's her choice (that's her choice) She's still awake, her mum comes in "Me and dad, we've had a chat And we're sorry for the things we said Please forgive us - you wouldn't leave us?" |

from Genesis, Genesis - And Then There Were Three (1978)
The curtains are drawn
Now the fire warms the room. Meanwhile outside Wind from the north-east chills the air It will soon be snowing out there And some there are Cold, they prepare for a sleepless night. Maybe this will be their last fight. But we're safe in each other's embrase. All fears go as I look on your face. Better think awhile Or I may never think again. If this were the last day of your life, my friend Tell me, what do you think you would do then? Stand up to the blow that fate has struck upon you, Make the most of all you still have coming to you, or Lay down on the ground and let the tears run from you, Crying to the grass and trees and Heaven finally on your knees Let me live again, let life come find me wanting. Spring must strike again against the shield of winter. Let me feel once more the arms of love surround me. Tell me the danger's past, I need Not fear the icy blast again. Laughter, music and perfume linger here And there, and there Wine flows from flask to glass to mouth, As it soothes, confusing our doubts. And soon we feel, Why do a single thing today, There's tomorrow sure as I'm here. So the days they turn into years And, still no tomorrow appears Better think awhile Or I may never think again. If this were the last day of your life, my friend Tell me, what do you think you would do then? Stand up to the blow that fate has struck upon you, Make the most of all you still have coming to you, or Lay down on the ground and let the tears run from you, Crying to the grass and trees and Heaven finally on your knees Let me live again, let life come find me wanting. Spring must strike again against the shield of winter. Let me feel once more the arms of love surround me. Tell me the danger's past, I need not fear the icy blast again. |

from Genesis, Genesis - Calling All Stations (1997)
A day of uncertain weather
Captured in a frame forever A face in a faded photograph He must have had a life Maybe with a family People who meant everything to him A sinner, a saint, a soldier Caught up in a war he never Had a chance to start or build a life All gone long ago Leaving no trace Disappearing like smoke in the wind To become just a face without a name Leaving no trace Disappearing like smoke in the wind Hopes and fears important plans Forgotten memories Footsteps fading in the sand, ooh Schemes and dreams small and grand Nothing left to see Footsteps fading in the sand, ooh Someone who cast a shadow Maybe just a lazy man Doesn't make much difference now it's true A day of uncertain weather Captured in a frame forever A face in a faded photograph All gone long ago Leaving no trace Disappearing like smoke in the wind To become just a face without a name One more to add to the total Of those never heard of again Yes he's gone Just a face without a name Leaving no trace Disappearing like smoke in the wind All gone Just a face without a name Leaving no trace Disappearing like smoke in the wind... |

1971. released as b-side of "i know what I like" single, 1974.
Is it really true what they're saying Are you really sure there's nobody come for me When I'm walking home there is no-one Once there was a house, full of laughter - so warm Trying to pretend there is someone Someone who will care when I need it I will now receive my comfort, conjured by the magic power of wine Just a drink, I'll get that drink, and I'm feeling good Just a drink, I'll get that drink, and I'm feeling fine Just a drink to take my sorrow Just a drink and you can blast tomorrow Just a drink to make me feel like a man again Now I'm down When I walk outside, there is nowhere Children follow me, with their laughter - so cold... Casting just a glance at the churchyard Casting just a glance, at my painted female friend. Now I'm on my way, I am falling Got to find some 'elp, ooh I will need that now So I will receive my comfort, conjured by the magic power of wine Just a drink, I'll get that drink, and I'm feeling good Just a drink, I'll get that drink, and I'm feeling fine Just a drink to take my sorrow Just a drink and you can blast tomorrow Just a drink to make me feel like a man again Now I'm down... I will now receive my comfort, conjured by the magic power of wine Just a drink, I'll get that drink, and I'm feeling good Just a drink, I'll get that drink, and I'm feeling fine Just a drink to take my sorrow Just a drink and you can blast tomorrow, now... |

from Genesis, Genesis - Foxtrot (1972)
A carved oak table,
Tells a tale Of times when kings and queens sipped wine from goblets gold, And the brave would lead their ladies from out of the room to arbours cool. A time of valour, and legends born A time when honour meant much more to a man than life And the days knew only strife to tell right from wrong Through lance and sword. Why, why can we never be sure till we die Or have killed for an answer, Why, why do we suffer each race to believe That no race has been grander It seems because through time and space Though names may change each face retains the mask it wore. A dusty table Musty smells Tarnished silver lies discarded upon the floor Only feeble light descends through a film of grey That scars the panes. Gone the carving, And those who left their mark, Gone the kings and queens now only the rats hold sway And the weak must die according to nature's law As old as they. Why, why can we never be sure till we die Or have killed for an answer, Why, why do we suffer each race to believe That no race has been grander It seems because through time and space Though names may change each face retains the mask it wore. |

from Genesis - Throwing It All Away [single] (1986)
Need I say I love you
Need I say I care Need I say that emotion's, Something we don't share I don't want to be sitting here trying to deceive you Cos you know I know baby I don't wanna go. We cannot live together We cannot live apart That's the situation I've known it from the start Every time that I look at you I can see the future Cos you know I know baby I don't wanna go. Throwing it all away Throwing it all away Is there nothing that I can say To make you change your mind I watch the world go round and round And see mine turning upside down You're throwing it all away. Who'll light up the darkness Who will hold your hand Who will find you the answers When you don't understand Why should I have to be the one Who has to convince you Cos you know I know baby That I don't wanna go. Some day you'll be sorry Someday when you're free Memories will remind you That our love was meant to be Late at night when you call my name The only sound you'll hear Is the sound of your voice calling Calling after me. Just throwing it all away Throwing it all away There's nothing I can say You're throwing it all away |

from Genesis, Genesis - Calling All Stations (1997)
You're no longer part of my life
I must remind myself again Too much has happened to us to cause eachother pain It's over now, there's too much guilt to share Once there would have been a time for talking and learning There must be some other way To get where we have to go There must be some other way Please show me another way Once it would have been so easy, to do what we have to do There must be some other way Please show me another way Are we no more than parts in a play Letting other people, strangers say our lines? To think it should come to this, after all these years What was mine and what should stay behind Once there would have been a time of sharing, of caring There must be some other way To get where we have to go There must be some other way Please show me another way Once it would have been so easy to do what we have to do (there must be some other way) There must be some other way Please show me, show me another way... ------ There's nothing much left to say We have said it once and said it all again This time we have gone too far, it could never be the same It's time to carry on create new lives Once we promised we would stay together forever There must be some other way To get where we have to go (there must be some other way) There must be some other way Please show me another way Once it would have been so easy to do what we have to do (what we have to do) You know there must be some other way Please show me another way You know there must be another way Please show me, show me another way (there must be some other way) You know there must be some other way... |

from Genesis - The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway (1974)
He panics, feels around for a stone and hurls it at the brightest
point. The sound of breaking glass echoes around the cave. As his vision is restored he catches sight of two golden gloves about one foot in diameter hovering away down the tunnel. When they disappear a resounding crack sears across the roof, and it collapses all around him. Our hero is trapped once again. "This is it" he thinks, failing to move any of the fallen rocks |

from Genesis - The Silent Sun / That's Me [single] (1968)
The silent sun that never shines,
She is the warmth of my lonely heart, The motion of a turning wheel, Can't you stop it and look around. Baby, you feel so close, I wish you could see my love, Baby, you've changed my life, I'm trying to show you. A tiny stone that hides from me Can't you see that I'm just outside, A mountain stream that chills the sea, Can't you feel in your useless pride. Baby, you feel so close, I wish you could see my love, Baby, you've changed my life, I'm trying to show you. When night reveals a star-filled sky, I want to hold it in my hands, When snowflakes heal the ugly ground, Your beauty hides the joy I've found. |

Dark nights the planets are set
Creator prepares for the dawn of man You're waking up, the day of incarnation, Said you're waking up to life Images he made to love Images of god in flesh, Man is wonderful, very wonderful, look at him Beware the future. Here is my world and it's waiting for me, Paradise before my eyes, I am alive in a new born world, This heaven will always be mine I'm waking up, the day of man has come, I'm waking up, the day of man has come. And god created man from dust, with a soul Inside his mould, And god created womankind, The vessel of satan's hold. Creator made the serpent wise Evil in his tempting eyes, Man is wonderful, very wonderful, look at him, beware the future. Here is my world and it's waiting for me, Paradise before my eyes, I am alive in a new born world, This heaven will always be mine I'm waking up, the day of man has come, I'm waking up, the day of man has come. Dark nights the planets are set Creator prepares for the dawn of man You're waking up, the day of incarnation, Said you're waking up to life Here I stand child in a lonely world, Watch the serpent tempting me to evil The guiding hand will help me on. The guiding hand will help me on. |

Turn and run,
Nothing can stop them, Around every river and canal their power is growing. Stamp them out, We must destroy them. They infiltrate each city with their thick dark warning odour. They are invincible, They seem immune to all our herbicidal battering. Long ago in the Russian hills, A Victorian explorer found the regal Hogweed by a marsh, He captured it and brought it home. Botanical creature stirs, seeking revenge. Royal beast did not forget. He came home to London, And made a present of the Hogweed to the Royal Gardens at Kew. Waste no time, They are approaching. Hurry now, we must ptotect ourselves and find some shelter Strike by night They are defenceless. They all need the sun to photosensitize their venom. Still they're invincible, Still they're immune to all our herbicidal battering. Fashionable country gentlemen had some cultivated wild gardens, In which they innocently planted the Giant Hogweed throughout the land. Botanical creature stirs, seeking revenge. Royal beast did not forget. Soon they escaped, spreading their seed, preparing for an onslaught, Threatening the human race. < THE DANCE OF THE GIANT HOGWEED > Mighty Hogweed is avenged. Human bodies soon will know our anger. Kill them with your Hogweed hairs HERACLEUM MANTEGAZZIANI Giant Hogweed lives |

Play me Old King Cole
That I may join with you, All your hearts now seem so far from me It hardly seems to matter now. And the nurse will tell you lies Of a kingdom beyond the skies. But I am lost within this half-world, It hardly seems to matter now. Play me my song. Here it comes again. Play me my song. Here it comes again. Just a little bit, Just a little bit more time, Time left to live out my life. Play me my song. Here it comes again. Play me my song. Here it comes again. Old King Cole was a merry old soul, And a merry old sould was he. So he called for his pipe, And he called for his bowl, And he called for his fiddlers three. The clock, tick tock, On the matelpiece, And I want, And I fee, And I know, And i touch, The wall. She's a lady, she's got time. Brush back your hair, and let me get to know your face. She's a lady, she's mine. Brush back your hair, and let me get to know your flesh. I've been waiting here for so long And all this time has past me by It doesn't seem to matter now You stand there with your fixed expression Casting doubt on all I have to say Why don't you touch me, touch me, Why don't you touch me, touch me, touch me, Touch me now, now, now, now, now..... |

Play me Old King Cole
That I may join with you, All your hearts now seem so far from me It hardly seems to matter now. And the nurse will tell you lies Of a kingdom beyond the skies. But I am lost within this half-world, It hardly seems to matter now. Play me my song. Here it comes again. Play me my song. Here it comes again. Just a little bit, Just a little bit more time, Time left to live out my life. Play me my song. Here it comes again. Play me my song. Here it comes again. Old King Cole was a merry old soul, And a merry old sould was he. So he called for his pipe, And he called for his bowl, And he called for his fiddlers three. The clock, tick tock, On the matelpiece, And I want, And I fee, And I know, And i touch, The wall. She's a lady, she's got time. Brush back your hair, and let me get to know your face. She's a lady, she's mine. Brush back your hair, and let me get to know your flesh. I've been waiting here for so long And all this time has past me by It doesn't seem to matter now You stand there with your fixed expression Casting doubt on all I have to say Why don't you touch me, touch me, Why don't you touch me, touch me, touch me, Touch me now, now, now, now, now..... |

from Genesis - The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway (1974)
As he walks along the gorge's edge,
He meets a sense of yesteryear. A window in the bank above his head Reveals his home amidst the streets. Subway sounds, the sounds of complaint The smell of acid on his gun of paint. As it carves out anger in a blood-red band, Destroyed tomorrow by an unknown hand; -My home. Is this the way out from this endless scene? Or just an entrance to another dream? And the light dies down on Broadway. But as the skylight beckons him to leave, He hears a scream fro far below. Within the raging water, writhes the form Of brother John, he cries for help. The gate is fading now, but open wide, But John is drowning, I must decide Between the freedom I had in the rat-race, Or to stay forever in this forsaken place; Hey John! He makes for the river and the gate is gone, Back to the void where it came from. And the light dies down on Broadway |

from Genesis - The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway (1974)
The scent grows richer, he knows he must be near,
He finds a long passageway lit by chandelier. Each step he takes, the perfumes change From familiar fragrance to flavours strange. A magnificent chamber meets his eye. Inside, a long rose-water pool is shrouded by fine mist. Stepping in the moist silence, with a warm breeze he's gently kissed. Thinking he is quite alone, He enters the room, as if it were his own, But ripples on the sweet pink water Reveal some company unthought of- Rael stands astonished doubting his sight, Struck by beauty, gripped in fright; Three vermilion snakes of female face, The smallest motion, filled with grace. Muted melodies fill the echoing hall, But there is no sign of warning in the siren's call: "Rael welcome, we are the Lamia of the pool. We have been waiting for our waters to bring you cool." Putting fear beside him, he trusts in beauty blind, He slips into the nectar, leaving his shredded clothes behind. "With their tongues, they test, taste and judge all that is mine. They move in a series of caresses That glide up and down my spine. As they nibble the fruit of my flesh, I feel no pain, Only a magic that a name would stain. With the first drop of my blood in their veins Their faces are convulsed in mortal pains. The fairest cries, 'We all have loved you Rael'." Each empty snakelike body floats, Silent sorrow in empty boats. A sickly sourness fills the room, The bitter harvest of a dying bloom. Looking for motion I know I will not find, I stroke the curls now turning pale, in which I'd lain entwined "O Lamia, your flesh that remains I will take as my food" It is the scent of garlic that lingers on my choclate fingers. Looking behind me, the water turns icy blue, The lights are dimmed and once again the stage is set for you |

from Genesis - The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway (1974)
(Written by Banks,Collins,Gabriel,Hackett,Rutherford)
And the lamb lies down on Broadway. Early morning Manhattan, Ocean winds blow on the land. The Movie-Palace is now undone, The all-night watchmen have had their fun. Sleeping cheaply on the midnight show, It's the same old ending - time to go. Get out! It seems they cannot leave their dream. There's something moving in the sidewalk steam, And the lamb lies down on Broadway. Nighttimes's flyers feel their pains, Drugstore takes down the chains. Metal motion comes in bursts, But the gas station can quench that thirst. Suspension cracked on unmade road The trucker's eyes read 'Overload' And out of the subway, Rael Imperial Aerosol Kid Exits into daylight, spraygun hid, And the lamb lies down on Broadway. The lamb seems right out of place, Yet the Broadway street scene find a focus in its face. Somehow it's lying there, Brings a stillness to the air. Though man-made light, at night is very bright, There's no whitewash victim, As the neons dim, to the coat of white. Rael Imperial Aerosol Kid Wipes his gun - he's forgotten what he did, And the lamb lies down on Broadway. Suzanne tired her work all done, Thinks money - honey - be on - neon. Cabman's velvet glove sounds the horn And the sawdust king spits out his scorn, Wonder women you can draw your blind! Don't look at me! I'm not your kind. I'm Rael! Something inside me has just begun, Lord knows what I have done, And the lamb lies down on Broadway, On Broadway - They say the lights are always bright on Broadway, They say there's always magic in the air. |
