And I've nearly found a place to call my own,
Waking gently feel her presence near Devil shattered, warmth is everywhere. I am only a child of hers, my guardian goddess. Now I'm reaching my journey's end inside her womb, And I think I've found a place to call my own. |

from Genesis - A Winter's Tale / One-Eyed Hound [single] (1968)
The winter's bitterness is lost
It's the fireside warmth that comforts me The peace for all my thoughts The night brings shadows to the street It's the time for dreams of things to come To creep inside their lives You're concealing every feeling Can you find me, deep inside you Let me touch you, let me keep you Let me know you're there You're concealing every feeling Can you find me, no Yes deep inside you're a part of me Every day I need to know I'm there, I'm there, I'm there The evening fantasy begins In the sandy lanes that cross the fields The gentle rain will fall The morning sweeps away the night And the dreams of you still haunt my thoughts Bring meaning to my life You're concealing every feeling Can you find me, deep inside you Let me touch you, let me keep you Let me know you're there You're concealing every feeling Can you find me, no Yes deep inside you're a part of me Every day I need to know I'm there, I'm there, I'm there Can you hold me with your small hand Prepare much, length and beauty of our tiny lives Future's brighter now Our world is everything to me, to know, I'm there Lord! You see the world is brighter than the sky The sky is shining everywhere in our world You know you never said in your many times, all in me instead |

Am I very wrong,
To hide behind the glare of an open minded Stare, Am I very wrong, To wander in the fear of a never ending lie. Am I very wrong, To try to close my ears to the sound they play So loud Am I very wrong, The happiness machine is trying hard to sing My song. Today's your birthday friend Everything all right, let us our greetings to you Send, Happy friend, Everything all right, We hope your life will never end. Am I very wrong, To want to steal a pin then I'll check that I have Skin, Am I very wrong, To want to leave my friends and the curse of The happiness machine. Today's your birthday friend, Everything all right. Let us our greetings to you Send, Happy friend, Everything all right, We hope your life will never end. |

What did you mean when you opened your mouth
and let all our secrets out You told him what I was about my cover was completely blown I tell you darlin', I've been watching the war film I got a few ideas of my own 'cause after the film had ended the call for recruits was shown And I'm joining the professionals I want to be a man with all that animal magic I'll do anything you can I'm joining the professionals 'cos I want to be a man look! I wave my wand, watch the rabbit disappear Join the professionals and learn to fight I bet the two of you still laugh at me for being as timid as a lamb That may be still the way I look it's no longer what I am Been across to Northern Ireland I came home with a new kind of charge I learned to hunt in the night I learned about camouflage Been joining the professionals and now that I'm a man with all that animal magic I'll match anything you can I'm joining the professionals this time I'll understand There's no way you'll get by me With the slightest sleight of hand. I'm joining the professionals I want to be a man look! I wave my wand watch the rabbit disappear Join the professionals and learn to fight Animal magic |

All the pumping's nearly over for my sweet heart,
This is the one for me. Time to meet the chef, O boy! running man is out of death. Feel cold and old, it's getting hard to catch my breath. It's back to ash, 'now you've had your flash boy' The rocks, in time, compress Your blood to oil, Your flesh to coal, Enrich the soil, Not everbody's goal. Anyway, they say she comes on a pale horse, But I'm sure I hear a train. O boy! I don't even feel no pain - I guess I must be driving myself insane. Damn it all! Does earth plug a hole in heaven, Or heaven plug a hole in earth - 'how wonderful to be so Profound, When everything you are is dying underground.' I feel the pull on the rope, let me off at the rainbow, I could have been exploded in space Different orbits for my bones Not me, just quietly buried in stones. Keep the deadline open with my maker! See me stretch; for God's elastic acre The doorbell rings and it's "Good morning Rael So sorry you had to wait, It won't be long, yeh! She's very rarely late." |

I see faces and traces of home back in New York City -
So you think I'm a tough kid? Is that what you heard? And well I like to see some action and it gets into my blood. They call me the trail blazer - Rael - electric razor I'm the pitcher in the chain gang, we don't believe in pain 'Cos we're only as strong, as we're only as strong, as the weakest link in the chain. Let me out of Pontiac when I was just seventeen, I had to get it out of me, if you know what I mean, what I mean. You say I must be crazy, 'cos I don't care who I hit, who I hit. But I know it's me that's hitting out and I'm not full of shit. I don't care who I hurt, I don't care who I do wrong. This is your mess I'm stuck in, I really don't belong. When I take out my bottle, filled up high with gasoline, You can tell by the night fires where Rael has been, has been. As I cuddled the porcupine He said I had none to blame, but me. Held my heart, deep in hair, Time to shave, shave it off, it off. No time for romantic escape, When your fluffy heart is ready for rape. No! No time for romantic escape, When your fluffy heart is ready for rape. No! No time for romantic escape, When your fluffy heart is ready for rape. No! Off we go. Off we go. Off we go. Off we go. You're sitting in your comfort you don't believe I'm real, You cannot buy protection from the way that I feel. Your progressive hypocrites hand out their trash, But it was mine in the first place, so I'll burn it to ash. And I've tasted all the strongest meats, And laid them down in coloured sheets. Laid them down in coloured sheets. Who needs illusion of love and affection When you're out walking in the streets with your mainline Connection? connection. As I cuddled the porcupine He said I had none to blame, but me. Held my heart, deep in hair, Time to shave, shave it off, it off. No time for romantic escape, When your fluffy heart is ready for rape. No! No time for romantic escape, When your fluffy heart is ready for rape. No!

I caught sight of my reflection
I caught it in the window I saw the darkness in my heart I saw the signs of my undoing They had been there from the start And the darkness still has work to do The knotted chord's untying The heated and the holy Oh, they're sitting there on high So secure with everything they're buying In the blood of Eden Lie the woman and the man With the man in the woman And the woman in the man In the blood of Eden Lie the woman and the man We wanted the the union Oh, the union of the woman The woman and the man My grip is surely slipping I think I've lost my hold Yes, I think I've lost my hold I cannot get insurance anymore They don't take credit, only gold Is that a dagger or a crucifix I see You hold so tightly in your hand? And all the while the distance grows between you and me I do not understand In the blood of Eden Lie the woman and the man With the man in the woman And the woman in the man In the blood of Eden Lie the woman and the man We wanted the the union Oh, the union of the woman The woman and the man At my request, you take me in In that tenderness, I am floating away No certainty, nothing to rely on Holding still for a moment What a moment this is Oh, for a moment of forgetting A moment of bliss Ohh I can hear the distant thunder Of a million unheard souls Of a million unheard souls Watch each one reach for creature comfort For the filling of their holes In the blood of Eden Lie the woman and the man With the man in the woman And the woman in the man In the blood of Eden Lie the woman and the man We wanted the union Of the woman and the man In the blood of Eden Lie the woman and the man I feel the man in the woman And the woman in the man In the blood of Eden Lie the woman and the man I feel the man in the woman And the woman in the man In the blood of Eden We have done everything we can In the blood of Eden So we end as we began With the man in the woman And the woman in the man It was all for the union Oh, the union of the woman The woman and the man |

Echoes of the Broadway Everglades,
With her mythical madonnas still walking in their shades; Lenny Bruce, declares a truce and plays his other hand. Marshall Mcluhan, casual viewin' ead buried in the sand. Sirens on the rooftops wailing, but there's no ship sailing. Groucho, with his movies trailing, stands alone with his punchline failing. Klu Klux Klan serve hot soul food as the band plays 'In the Mood' The cheerleader waves her cyanide wand, there's a smell of peach blossom and bitter almonde. Caryl Chessman sniffs the air and leads the parade, he knows In a scent, you can bottle all you made. There's Howard Hughes in blue suede shoes, smiling at the Majorettes smoking Winston Cigarettes. And as the song and dance begins, the children play at home with needles; needles and pins. |

Caryl Chessman sniffs the air and leads the parade, he knows In a scent, you can bottle all you made. There's Howard Hughes in blue suede shoes, smiling at the Majorettes smoking Winston Cigarettes. And as the song and dance begins, the children play at home with needles; needles and pins. |

from Genesis, Genesis - Foxtrot (1972)
The scattered pages of a book by the sea
Held by the sand, washed by the waves A shadow forms cast by a cloud, Skimming by as eyes of the past, but the rising tide Absorbs them effortlessly claiming. They told of one who tired of all singing, "Praise him, praise him." "We heed not flatterers," he cried, "By our command, waters retreat, Show my power, halt at my feet," But the cause was lost, Now cold winds blow. For from the north overcast ranks advance Fear of the storm accusing with rage and scorn. The waves surround the sinking throne Singing "Crown him, crown him," "Those who love our majesty show themselves!" All bent their knees. But he forced a smile even though His hopes lay dashed where offerings fell (where they fell). "Nothing can my peace destroy as long as none smile." More opened ears and opened eyes, And soon they dared to laugh. See a little man with his face turning red Though his story's often told you can tell he's dead. |

from Genesis - The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway (1974)
There is lambswool under my naked feet,
The wool is soft and warm, - 'Gives off some kind of heat. A salamander scurries into flame to be destroyed. Imaginary creatures are trapped in birth on celluloid. The fleas cling to the golden fleece, Hoping they'll find peace. Each thought and gesture are caught in celluloid. There's no hiding in my memory. There's no room to avoid. The crawlers cover the floor in the red ochre corridor. For my second sight of people, they've more lifeblood than before. They're moving in time to a heavy wooden door, Where the needle's eye is winking, closing on the poor. The carpet crawlers heed their callers; "We've got to get in to get out We've got to get in to get out We've got to get in to get out." There's only one direction in the faces that I see; It's upward to the ceiling, where the chamber's said to be. Like the forest fight for sunlight, that takes root in every tree, There are pulled up by the magnet, believeing they're free. The carpet crawlers heed their callers; "We've got to get in to get out We've got to get in to get out We've got to get in to get out." Mild mannered supermen are held in kryptonite, And the wise and foolish virgins giggle with their bodies glowing bright. Through the door a harvest feast is lit by candlelight; It's the bottom of a staircase that spirals out of sight. The carpet crawlers heed their callers; "We've got to get in to get out We've got to get in to get out We've got to get in to get out." The porcelain mannikin with shattered skin fears attack. The eager pack lit up their pitchers - they carry all they lack. The liquid has congealed, which has seeped out through the crack. And the tickler takes his sticleback. The carpet crawlers heed their callers; "We've got to get in to get out We've got to get in to get out We've got to get in to get out." |

i) The Arrival
Rael: I wandered lonely as a cloud Till I came upon this dirty street I've never seen a stranger crowd Slubberdegullions on squeaky feet Continually pacing With nonchalant embracing Each orifice disgracing And one facing me Moves to say "hellay" Your skin's all covered in slimy lumps With lips that slide across each chin His twisted limbs like rubber stumps Are waved in welcome Say "Please join in:" My grip must be flipping 'Cause his handshake keeps slipping My hopes keep on dipping And his lips keep on Smiling all the time Slipperman: "We, like you Have tasted love Don't be alarmed At what you see You yourself Are just the same As what you see in me" Rael: Me Like you? Like that!? Slipperman: "You better watch it, son Your sentence has only just begun You better run and join your brother John" ii) A Visit to the Doktor Slipperman: "You're in the colony of slippermen There's no who, why What or when You can get out If you've got the gripe To see, Doktor Dyper Reformed sniper He'll whip off Your windscreenwiper" Rael: John and I are able To face the Doktor And his marble table He said... The Doktor: Understand, Rael That's the end of your tail Rael: "Don't delay Dock the dick!" I watch his countdown Timer tick... iii) The Raven He places the number into a tube It's a yellow plastic Shoobedoobe It says: "Though your fingers may tickle You'll be safe in our pickle" Suddenly, black cloud Come down from the sky Its a supersized black bird That sure can fly The raven brings on Darkness and night He flies right down Gives me one hell of a fright He takes the tube Right out of my hands Man, I've got to find Where that black bird lands "Look here, John I've got to run I need you now You're going to come?" He says to me... John: "Now can't you see Where the raven flies There's jeopardy? We've been cured on the couch Now you're sick with your grouch I'll not risk my honey pouch Which my slouch Will wear slung very low" Rael: He walks away And leaves me once again Even though I never learn I'd hoped he'd show Just some concern Some concern Ah... Some concern I'm in the agony of Slipperpain I pray my undercarriage will sustain The chase is on The pace is hot But I'm running so very hard With everything That I've got He leads me down an underpass Though it narrows He still flies very fast When the tunnel stops Catch sight of the tube Just as it drops I'm on top of a bank Too steep to climb I see it hit the water Just in time To watch it float away Watch it float away Watch it float away... |

from Peter Gabriel - Us (2004)
The wretched desert takes its form
The jackal proud and tight In search of you I feel my way Through the slowest heaving night Whatever fear invents I swear it make no sense I reach out through the border fence Come down, come talk to me In the swirling, curling storm of desire Unuttered words hold fast With reptile tongue, the lightning lashes Towers built to last Darkness creeps in like a thief And offers no relief Why are you shaking like a leaf? Come on, come talk to me Ah, please talk to me Won't you please talk to me We can unlock this misery Come on, come talk to me I did not come to steal This all is so unreal Can't you show me how you feel now Come on, come talk to me Come talk to me Come talk to me The earthly power sucks shadowed milk From sleepy tears undone From nippled skin as smooth as silk The bugles blown as one You lie there with your eyes half closed Like there's no one there at all There's a tension pulling on your face Come on, come talk to me Won't you please talk to me If you'd just talk to me Unblock this misery If you'd only talk to me Don't you ever change your mind Now your future's so defined And you act so deaf so blind Come on, come talk to me Come talk to me Come talk to me I can imagine the moment Breaking out through the silence All the things that we both might say And the heart it will not be denied Till we're both on the same damn side All the barriers blown away I said please talk to me Won't you please come talk to me Just like it used to be Come on, come talk to me I did not come to steal This all is so unreal Can you show me how you feel now Come on, come talk to me Come talk to me Come talk to me I said please talk to me If you'd just talk to me Unblock this misery If you'd only talk to me Don't you ever change your mind Now your future's so defined And you act so deaf so blind Come on, come talk to me Come talk to me Come talk to me |

I'm counting out time,
Got the whole thing down by numbers, All those numbers! Give me guidance! O Lord I need that now. That day of judgement's come, And you can bet that I've been resting, For this testing. Digesting every word the experts say. Erogenous zones I love you. Without you, what would a poor boy do? Found a girl I wanted to date, Thought I'd better get it straight. Went to buy a book before's too late. Don't leave nothing to fate. And I have studied every line, every page in the book, And now I've got the real thing here, I'm gonna take a look, Take a look. This is it Rael! I'm counting out time, hoping it goes like I planned it, 'Cos I understand it. Look! I've found the hotspots, Figures 1-9. - Still counting out time, i've got my finger on the button, "Don't say nuttin - just lie there still And I'll get you turned on just fine." Erogenous zones I love you, Without you, what would a poor boy do? Touch and go with 1-6. Bit of trouble in zone No. 7. Gotta remember all of my tricks. There's heaven ahead in No. 11! Getting crucial responses with dilation of the pupils. "Honey get hip! It's time to unzip, to unzip. Whipee! - Move over Casanova - I'm counting out time, reaction none too happy, Please don't slap me, I'm a red blooded male and the book said I could not fail. I'm counting out time, I got unexpected distress from my Mistress. I'll get my money back from the bookstore right away. Erogenous zones I question you - Without you, what would a poor boy do? Without you, what would a poor boy do? Without you, mankind handkinds thru' the blues. |

Wrapped up in some powdered wool - I guess I'm losing touch.
Don't tell me this is dying, 'cos I ain't changed that much. The only sound is water drops, I wonder where the hell I am, Some kind of jam? Cuckoo cocoon have I come to, too soon for you! There's nothing I can recognise; this is nowhere that I've known. With no sign of life at all, I guess that I'm alone, And I feel so secure that I know this can't be real But I feel good. Cuckoo cocoon have I come to, too soon for you? I wonder if I'm a prisoner locked in some Brooklyn jail - Or some sort of Jonah shut up inside the whale. No - I'm still Rael and I'm stuck in some kind of cave. What could have saved me? Cuckoo cocoon have I come to, too soon for you? |

from Genesis - Selling England By The Pound (1973)
(Written by Banks,Collins,Gabriel,Hackett,Rutherford)
"Can you tell me where my country lies?" said the unifaun to his true love's eyes. "It lies with me!" cried the Queen of Maybe - for her merchandise, he traded in his prize. "Paper late!" cried a voice in the crowd. "Old man dies!" The note he left was signed "Old Father Thames" - it seems he's drowned; selling England by the pound. Citizens of Hope & Glory, Time goes by - it's 'the time of your life'. Easy now, sit you down. Chewing through your Wimpey dreams, They eat, without a sound Digesting England by the pound. Young man says, "you are what you eat" - eat well. Old man says "you are what you wear" - wear well. You know what you are, you don't give a damn; bursting your belt that is your homemade sham. The Captain leads his dance right on through the night - join the dance . . . Follow on! Till the Grail sun sets in the mould. Follow on! Till the gold is cold. Dancing out with the moonlit knight, Knights of the Green Shield stamp and shout. There's a fat old lady outside the saloon; laying out the credit cards she plays Fortune. The deck is uneven right from the start; and all of their hands are playing a part. Captain leads his dance right on through the night - join the dance . . . Follow on! A Round Table-talking down we go. You're the show! Off we go with: You play the hobbyhorse, I'll play the fool. We'll tease the bull ringing round & loud, loud & round. Follow on! With a twist of the world we go. Follow on! Till the gold is cold. Dancing out with the moonlit knight, Knights of the Green Shield stamp and shout. |

"Hey Mac, see you down the Dolce Vita!"
"Get back, we don't have time" "'Cause I hear we're sending off the heroes When the year goes, they're out of the bay, Trying to find a way To make it alive" "So long", said four men to their families, "Be strong, 'till we get back home. And if not, take care of all the children Until then just hope and pray We're gonna find a way To make it alive" "You guys are crazy!" They shout and then we leave the harbour. In doubt, they're acting weird And the sea is whipping up a welcome If hell come we're all easy prey, Trying to find a way To make it alive "You guys are crazy" The captain's hand shook for the guys to get in place He said "Let's look behind your face." With each corner covered, they were all around Waiting for the midnight bell to sound. "Out of sight", cried Aeron through his glasses "Don't fight", said Gorham's smile All the while, his hand was on my shoulder I was scared of being easy prey, Trying to find a way To make it alive I won't be easy prey, Gonna find a way To make it alive |

from Wall-E by Thomas Newman [ost] (2008)
Did you think that your feet had been bound
By what gravity brings to the ground? Did you feel you were tricked By the future you picked? Well, come on down All these rules don't apply When you're high in the sky So come on down Come on down We're coming down to the ground There's no better place to go We've got snow upon the mountains We've got rivers down below We're coming down to the ground To hear the birds sing in the trees And the land will be looked after We'll send the seeds out in the breeze Did you think you'd escaped from routine By changing the script and the scene? Despite all you made of it you're always afraid of the change You've got a lot on your chest Well you can come as my guest So come on down Come on down We're coming down to the ground There's no better place to go We've got snow upon the mountains We've got rivers down below We're coming down to the ground We'll hear the birds sing in the trees And the land will be looked after We'll send the seeds out in the breeze Like the fish in the ocean We felt at home in the sea We learned to live off the good land We learned to climb up a tree then we got up on two legs But we wanted to fly And when we messed up our homeland we set sail for the sky. We're coming down to the ground There's no better place to go We've got snow upon the mountains We got rivers down below We're coming down to the ground We'll hear the birds sing in the trees And the land will be looked after We'll send the seeds out in the breeze We're coming down Comin' down to earth Like babies at birth Comin' down to earth Redefine your priorities These are extraordinary qualities We're coming down to the ground There's no better place to go We've got snow upon the mountains We've got rivers down below We're coming down to the ground We'll hear the birds sing in the trees And the land will be looked after We'll send the seeds out in the breeze We're coming down to the ground There's no better place to go We've got snow upon the mountains We've got rivers down below We're coming down to the ground We'll hear the birds sing in the trees And the land will be looked after We'll send the seeds out in the breeze |

I looked up at the tallest building
Felt it falling down I could feel my balance shifting Everything was moving around These streets so fixed and solid Ah shimmering haze And everything that I relied on disappeared Downside up, upside down Take my weight from the ground Falling deep in the sky Slipping in the unknown All the strangers look like family All the family looks so strange The only constant I am sure of Is this accelerating rate of change Downside up, upside down Take my weight off the ground Falling deep in the sky Slipping in the unknown I stand here Watch you spinning Until I am drawn in A centripetal force You pull me in Pull me in Pull me in Pull me in Pull me in Pull me in ovo ovo ovo ovo ovo ovo ovo ovo ovo ovo ovo ovo ovo ovo ovo ovo ovo ovo Downside up Upside down Take my weight off the ground Falling deep in the sky Slipping into the unknown |

from Genesis, Genesis - Trespass (1970)
See my hand is moving
Touching all that's real And once it stroked love's body Now it claws the past. The scent of a flower, The colours of the morning, Friends to believe in, Tears soon forgotten, See how the rain drives away, another day. If a leaf has fallen Does the tree lie broken? And if we draw some water Does the well run dry? The sigh of a mother, The screaming of lovers, Like two angry tigers, They tear at each other, See how for him lifetime's fears disappear. Once Jesus suffered, Heaven could not see him. And now my ship is sinking, The captain stands alone. A pawn on the chessboard, A false move by God will now destroy me, But wait, on the horizon, A new dawn seems to be rising, Never to recall his passerby, born to die. |

from Genesis - From Genesis To Revelation (1969)
As daybreak breaks the mist upon the earth,
It came to pass that beauty settled there Forever more, And as the steam clings close to things to come, It came to pass that solid rock did part for humble life. Once upon a time there was confusion, Disappointment, fear and disillusion, Now there's hope reborn with every morning, See the future clearly at its dawning. Forever drifting slowly towards a hazy emptyness, As water slips into the sea The father's sad to see it free. As shadows creep towards their master night, It came to pass that trees defied the wind who Shook their leaves, And as the peace descended all around, It came to pass that nature's creatures came to Face the world. Once upon a time there was confusion, Disappointment, fear and disillusion, Now there's hope reborn with every morning, See the future clearly at its dawning. Forever drifting slowly towards a hazy emptyness, As water slips into the sea The father's sad to see it free. Once upon a time there was confusion, Disappointment, fear and disillusion, Now there's hope reborn with every morning, See the future clearly at its dawning. |

(Written by Banks,Collins,Gabriel,Hackett,Rutherford)
The path is clear, though no eyes can see The course laid down long before And so with gods and men, the sheep remain inside their pen Though many times they've seen the way to leave He rides majestic, past homes of men Who care not or gaze with joy To see reflected there, the trees, the sky, the lily fair The scene of death is lying just below The mountains cut off the town from view Like a cancer growth is removed by skill Let it be revealed A waterfall, his madrigal An inland sea, his symphony Undinal songs urge the sailors on 'Till lured by the siren's cry... Now as the river dissolve in sea So Neptune has claimed another soul And so with gods and men, the sheep remain inside their pen Until the shepherd leads his flock away The sands of time were eroded by The river of constant change |

Doing nothing, stuck in the mud, just pumping the blood.
The water level's getting low, something ugly's going to show. If only I could touch you, I guess you'd be alarmed. If only I could touch you, I don't mean you no harm. If only I could touch you, like the wind can touch the sail, If only I could touch you, darling, now that words have failed. Oh, flotsam still afloat, Oh, jetsam thrown out of the boat. Oh love, my love, nothing here is what it seems. We both know it; Christ, you show it... Oh, oh my love. |

The dust settles on my skin, Making a crust I cannot move in And I'm hovering like a fly, waiting for the windshield on the Freeway. |

Sunday at six when they close both the gates
A widowed pair, Still sitting there, Wonder if they're late for church And its cold so they fasten their coats And cross the grass, they're always last. Passing by the padlocked swings, The roundabout still turning, Ahead they see a small girl On her way home with a pram. Inside the archway The priest greets them with a courteous nod. He's close to god. Looking back at days of four instead of two. Years seem so few. Heads bent in prayer For friends not there. Leaving twopence on the plate, They hurry down the path and through the gate And wait to board the bus That ambles down the street. |

But I don?t care Happy the man - he doesn?t buzz around Nothing he wants - any more than anything Where you go - where? Yeah, yeah, yeah, nowhere Like a fool in the pool - I?m incredibly cool With a grin on my chin - I?m certain to win Someone says he?s jesus christ - but I don?t care He is a good man... |

from Genesis, Genesis - Nursery Cryme (1971)
Came the night a mist dissolved the trees
And in the broken light colours fly, fading by. Pale and cold as figures fill the glade Grey is the web they spin, on and on, and on and on. Through the flame still summer lingers on Though her pictures soon shatter. All, always the same, But there appears in the shades of dawning. Though your eyes are dim, All of the pieces in the sky. There was once a harvest in this land. Reap from the turquoise sky, harlequin, harlequin, Dancing round three children fill the glade, Theirs was the laughter in the winding stream, and in between. Close your talk, the picture fades again, From the flames in the firelight. All, always the same, But there appears in the shades of dawning. Though your eyes are dim, All of the pieces in the sky. All, all is not lost, And light appears in the shades of dawning Whey your eyes can see Order the pieces, put them back, put them back. |

News:
A well-known Bognor restaurant-owner disappeared Early this morning. Last seen in a mouse-brown overcoat, Suitably camouflaged, They saw him catch a train. Man-in-the-street: "Father of three its disgusting" "Such a horrible thing to do" Harold the Barrel cut off his toes and he served them all for tea "He can't go far", "He can't go far." "Hasn't got a leg to stand on" "He can't go far." Man-on-the-spot: I'm standing in a doorwayon the main square Tension is mounting There's a restless crowd of angry people Man-on-the-council: "More than we're ever seen - had to tighten up security" Over to the scene at the town hall The Lord Mayor's ready to speak LORD MAYOR: "Man of suspicion, you can't last long, the British Public Is on our side" BRITISH PUBLIC: "You can't last long," "You can't last long." "Said you could'nt trust him, his brother was just the same" "You can't last long". HAROLD: If I was many miles from here, I'd be sailing in an open boat on the sea Instead I'm on this window ledge, With the whole world below Up at the window Look at the window Mr. Plod: "We can help you" Plod's Chorus: "We can help you" Mr. Plod: "We're all your friends if you come on down and talk to us son" HAROLD: You must be joking Take a running jump The crowd was getting stronger and our Harold getting weaker; Forwards, backwards, swaying side to side Fearing the very worst They called his mother to the sight Upon the ledge beside him His mother made a last request. 67yr-old-Mrs Barrel: "Come off the ledge if your father were alive he'd be very, very, very upset."

from Peter Gabriel - Peter Gabriel 1 (1997)
When the night shows The signals grows on radios All the strange things They come and go, as early warnings Stranded starfish have no place to hide Still waiting for the swollen easter tide Theres no point in direction if we cannot even choose a side. I took the old track The hollow shoulder, across the waters On the tall cliffs They were getting older, sons and daughters The jaded underworld was riding high Waves of steel hurled metal at the sky And as the nail sunk in the cloud, the rain was warm and soaked the crowd. Lord, here comes the flood We will say goodbye to flesh and blood If again the seas are silent In any still alive It'll be those who gave their island to survive Drink up, dreamers, youre running dry. When the flood calls, You have no home, you have no walls In the thunder crash Youre a thousand minds, within a flash Dont be afraid to cry at what you see The actors gone, theres only you and me And if we break before the dawn, they'll use up what we used to be. Lord, here comes the flood We will say goodbye to flesh and blood If again, the seas are silent In any still alive Itll be those who gave their island to survive Drink up, dreamers, youre running dry. |
