from Genesis, Genesis - Seconds Out [live] (1977)
The streets were deserted though the police were alerted,
They considered the phone call a hoax. Furtively glancing then jauntily prancing The youth caught the guards unaware. Slipping between them he ought to have seen then The eyes and their owner so near. With torch shining bright he strode on in the night Till he came to the room with the safe. "Hello son, I hope you're having fun." "You've got it wrong Sir, I'm only the cleaner." With that he fired, the other saying as he died, "You've done me wrong," it's the same old song forever. Robbery, assault and battery, The felon and his felony. Robbery, assault and battery, The felon and his felony. He picked up the diamonds and bundles of fivers He pushed them well down in his sack. But the alarm had been sounded, he was completely surrounded But he had some more tricks up his sleeve. "Come outside with your hands held high." "You'll not get me alive Sir, I promise you that Sir. With that he fired, the other saying as he died "You've done me wrong," it's the same old song forever. Robbery, assault and battery, The felon and his felony. Robbery, assault and battery, The felon and his felony. "He's leaving via the roof, the bastard's got away. God always fights on the side of the bad man. Bad man. Bad man" "I've got clean away but I'll be back some day, Just the combination will have changed. Some day they'll catch me, to a chain they'll attach me, But until that day I'll ride the old crime wave. If they try to hold me for trial I'll stay out of gaol by paying my bail And after I'll go to the court of appeal saying "You've done me wrong," it's the same old song forever." Done me wrong - same old song - done me wrong Done me wrong - same old song - done me wrong Done me wrong - same old song - done me wrong |

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 Trick Of The Tail (1976)
Bored of the life in the city of gold
He'd left and let nobody know. Gone were the towers he had known from a child, Alone with the dream of a life He travelled the wide open road, The blinkered arcade, In search of another to share in his life. Nowhere. Everyone looked so strange to him. They've got no horns and they've got no tail They don't even know of our existence. Am I wrong to believe in a city of gold That lies in the deep distance, he cried And wept as they led him away to a cage 'Beast that can talk' read the sign. The creatures they pushed and they proddes his frame And questioned his story again. But soon they grew bored of their prey Beast that can talk? More like a freak or publicity stunt. Oh No. They've got no horns and they've got no tail They don't even know of our existence. Am I wrong to believe in a city of gold That lies in the deep distance, he cried And broke down the door of the cage and marched on out. He grabbed a creature by the scruff of his neck, pointing out: There, beyond the bounds of your weak imagination Lie the noble towers of my city, bright and gold. Let me take you there and show you a living story Let me show you others such as me Why did I ever leave? They've got no horns and they've got no tail They don't even know of our existence. Am I wrong to believe in a city of gold That lies in the deep distance, he cried And wept. And so we set out with the beast and his horns And his crazy description of home. After many days journey we cam to a peak Where the beast gazed abroad and cried out. We followed his gaze and we thought maybe we saw A spire of gold ~ no, a trick of the eye that's all. But the beast was gone and a voice was heard: They've got no horns and they've got no tail They don't even know of our existence. Am I wrong to believe in a city of gold That lies in the deep distance, he cried Hello friend, welcome home. |

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 |

(Written by Tony Banks)
Like the dust that settles all around me, I must find a new home The ways and holes that used to give me shelter Are all as one to me now. But I, I would search everywhere Just to hear your call, And walk upon stranger roads than this one In a world I used to know before I miss you more. Then the sun reflecting off my pillow, Bringing the warmth of new life. And the sounds that echoed all around me, I caught a glimpse of in the night But now, now I've lost everything, I give to you my soul, The meaning of all that I believed before Escapes me in this world of none, no thing, no one. And I would search everywhere Just to hear your call, And walk upon stranger roads than this one, In a world I used to know before For now I've lost everything, I give to you my soul. The meaning of all that I believed before Escapes me in this world of none, I miss you more. |

from Genesis, Genesis - Calling All Stations (1997)
Woke up in the morning staggered out of bed
Thought about getting back again, but went downstairs instead Read the daily paper have to know the truth Slammed the door as I ran outside, looked at my watch and cried Gotta get to work on time Gotta get to work on time Then the sky turned a deeper blue Not a cloud as the sun shone through But all around rain kept falling to the ground The wind was blowing but the trees didn't make a sound Just another alien afternoon Just another alien afternoon Time that I was leaving while there's still a chance Before I start believing in what I see or hear Nothing here to keep me, nothing anywhere Gotta get out pack my bags before I go insane Gotta get away in time Gotta get away in time Then the sky turned from blue to green Took on colours I have never seen Then a sound started ringing in my ears I heard voices but in truth there's nobody there Just another alien afternoon Just another alien afternoon To be there back where I belong To feel again the wind upon my face To see again all that I took for granted All that I left and everything I knew We are home We are your home We are all your home Not another alien afternoon Never more to go wandering Never leaving my world behind There was never a reason To leave my heart and my home behind Where I was born is where I should be now I would never be lonely I would never be sad again I wanted to go anywhere I wanted to see how strange it all could be Nothing would ever take me away again Never more to go wandering Never leaving my world behind No, no, no, no Nothing will ever take me away again, away again No, no, no, no |

from Genesis - Wind And Wuthering (1977)
Loving Couple:
I can't see you but I know you're there. Got to get beside you cos it's really cold out here. Come up close to me you'll soon be warm. Hold me tightly like we're sheltering from a storm. Mouse: Think I might go out for a stroll Into the night, and out of this hole. Maybe find me a meal. Walking along this new shag pile Presents a problem all the while. Nearly the door. Suddenly he bumps into wood, the door is closed. A voice from the bed, he'll be exposed. Which way to run, must make for the hole, The light's been turned on, he's blind as a mole in coal. Now I can see they're coming at me, They've blocked off my door, I haven't a chance in hell. Couple: Come on baby let the poor thing go. I'm not sleeping with that thing around here, no. Alright then, I'll fetch a box from below, Guard him carefully, they're very quick you know. Mouse: The door's been opened, my chance to escape. Must run out quick, better sorry than late. I'm out on the stairs. They won't catch me now, I've the run of the house now. I'll make it downstairs and into the breadbin. That would be nice. Suddenly he bumps into fur, that's very unwise, A cat is much quicker than men and their eyes. The chase that ensues can have only one end, Unless outside help steps in for our friend in need. But now the cat comes in for the kill, His paw is raised, soon blood will spill, yes it will. Cat: Hard luck mouse, this is the end of your road. The signpost says inside me, let me bear your heavy load. But it's not to be, that final pounce Knocks a jar upon his head, and lays him out. But it's all in a mouse's night To take on all those who would fight. Cat's Story: There I was with my back to the wall, Then comes this monster mouse, he's ten feet tall, With teeth and claws to match. It only took one blow. |

There's nothing here that I can understand
And no one cares I'm a lonely man I touch your face and I don't know why I call your name but you're going by Now I'm alone again. I have no name for each and every day Until the year is done and fades away There's a time in between the two The old years gone by but it's not the new And I, I know that'll be all Alone again, alone again tonight oh I'm Alone again, alone again tonight oh I'm Alone again, it seems to me that every time I try to change Say that you're say that you'll Help me reach the other side When the morning comes the sun is out And warms me up again What a funny world it is for me And all I'll never be It's not enough, it's not enough This feeling I'm feeling inside Oh I know it I know tonight that I'll be On my own again, alone again tonight Oh I'm alone again, alone again tonight Oh I'm alone again, it seems to me that everytime I try to change Say that you'll, say that you'll Help me reach the other side Help me please cos I know I'm gonna be On my own again alone again tonight |

from Genesis - From Genesis To Revelation (1969)
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. |

It's funny, you know,
'Cause there's an old rock 'n' roller. He's got nowhere to go. Did you ever think of takin' him in? Somebody help him, somebody please. Put another record on, 'Cause he likes that song. It's funny, you know, He never done nothin', done nobody wrong. Didn't thing about changin' his name, But I'm gonna tell him it's the same old game. Put another record on. Round, round, round and around, oh. Oh, see him smile. Well, lately I've seen him Walkin' down the street, kinda movin' his feet. Everyone I know looks the other way. Somebody help him, somebody say: Put another record on. Round, round, round and around, oh. Oh, see him smile. Just put another record on |

And whether you want it
Or whether you hate it And try to battle it out Someday you may just come to discover It was all for the best The change has come, maybe a second chance Anything now could be there for you But whether you want it Or whether you hate it Nothing will ever be quite the same again Everything is in it's place I know my limitations I don't want to change a thing I know that I can live with them Why should I care? But then sometimes right out of the blue News on the radio Words on the telephone Suddenly change everything Nothing's quite what it seems And whether you want it Or whether you hate it And try to battle it out Someday you may just come to discover It was all for the best The change has come, maybe a second chance Anything now could be there for you But whether you want it Or whether you hate it Nothing will ever be quite the same again I got my lines, I got a part to play I don't want to be surprised I like to plan from day to day Why should I care? But then sometimes right out of the blue News on the radio Words on the telephone Suddenly change everything Nothing's quite what it seems And whether you want it Or whether you hate it And try to battle it out Someday you may just come to discover It was all for the best The change has come, maybe a second chance Anything now could be there for you But whether you want it Or whether you hate it Nothing will ever be quite the same again And whether you want it Or whether you hate it And try to battle it out Someday you may just come to discover It was all for the best The change has come, maybe a second chance Anything now could be there for you But whether you want it Or whether you hate it Nothing will ever be quite the same again Whether you want it Or whether you hate it Nothing will ever be quite the same again Anything now... |

You know You've figured in some fantasies You would not believe What you've had to do Life goes on around you All because of you I won't ever no I'll never... You know That in twenty years or more You still look the same As you do today You'll still be a young girl When I'm old and grey I won't ever no I'll never |

from Genesis - The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway (1974)
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." |

from Mike Rutherford - Smallcreeps Day (1997)
The day is nearly ended hurry home to your bed
My nights are oh so lonely come and lay down your head The eyes of all our children growing heavy with sleep And with one final flicker into a world full of dreams. Oh I need you now through the lonely nights And when the morning comes upon us I'll be holding you so close to me. The grass is never greener either side of the wall If I am here or somewhere many miles away For I have come to realize nothing changes at all. Oh I need you now through the lonely nights And when the morning comes upon us I'll be holding you so close to me. |

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!

from Genesis, Genesis - And Then There Were Three (1978)
Big Jim Cooley commanded respect,
Whatever he wanted he could get. The badge on his waistcoat shone in the sun. It ain't no lie, Big Jim was feared by everyone. In the saloon one evening Big took a bet With a rancher whose name I forget. He wanted a herd taken over the plain, And he called Jim "yellow," He'll never do that again. He got mad! He threw his badge on the floor and walked out, He's gonna give it a try, he left no doubt. "Must be mad, must be mad!" The people wished him well, and good luck. "Hell, I don't need it!" he laughed, got on His horse and rode away. Over on the trail Jim 'n' his crew of five Were trying their best to keep the cattle alive. The weather was hard, but so were the men. Though I don't think even Jim will try this trip again. His horses were edgy, sensing trouble ahead. But the trouble didn't start till the men were in bed A-whooping and a-hollering and flashing their knives, Big Jim and his men were jumped By an all-star Indian tribe. He was scared, Big Jim was scared. Alive, they called him lucky, but not today. Cos he died like all good cowboys With his boots on next to his men. Big Jim, he still won't lie down, For him the bet is still on. Some say he rides there, cursing still. Some say they've seen him. |

I saw your picture, heard you call my name There was something strange, I could not look away I wanted to be there, I wanted to go You gave me no warning, you gave no reason But I was with you, right by your side Just give me the strength and I can help you They can try their hardest, they don't frighten me It's written in the book It's hotter than I've known before But I feel so cold and I don't know why But if the fire within your heart can beat the storm Then I really believe you could make it right The time has come now, we must show our feelings But I'm looking right through you and your heart is empty Whatever happened to you, it's too late to change now There's nowhere you can run to, no place to hide Ah, you let me down ...but wait a minute, I don't understand It's getting stronger, so grab my hand Don't wanna leave you, don't wanna go But I'm losing all control Can't you see me, I'm slipping away I can only stay if you've the will to keep me here It's written in the book Oh, so many times since hten I've read those words Just waiting to see you, can you see me |

from Mike Rutherford - Smallcreeps Day (1997)
It's so very dark in here
There's water on the wall I can see no lights and what's that sound That droning far above the smoke And everywhere I look their eyes are watching me. Hello my friend The day is long and I am very hot This metal world The lower half of every face is lit Everytime I look the clock is calling me On the tick and the tock. I've got my love to get me there But I've more pain that I can bare There is a world to find and share Oh Saturday - Oh Saturday And I can see a dying race, who live their lives On the tick and the tock, in between. |

from Genesis - Wind And Wuthering (1977)
(Written by Phil Collins/Steve Hackett)
Dark and grey, an English film, the Wednesday Play We always watch the Queen on Christmas Day, Won't you stay? Though your eyes see shipwrecked sailors you're still dry The outlook's fine though Wales might have some rain Saved again. Let's skip the news boy (I'll make some tea) Arabs and Jews boy (too much for me) They get me confused boy (puts me off to sleep) And the thing I hate - Oh Lord! Is staying up late, to watch some debate, on some nation's fate. Hypnotised by Batman, Tarzan, still surprised! You've won the West in time to be our guest Name your prize! Drop of wine, a glass of beer dear what's the time? The grime on the Tyne is mine, all mine, all mine. Five past nine. Blood on the rooftops - Venice in the Spring The Streets of San Francisco - a word from Peking The trouble was started - by a young Errol Flynn Better in my day - Oh Lord! For when we got bored, we'd have a world war, happy but poor So let's skip the news boy (I'll go make that tea) Blood on the rooftops (too much for me) When old Mother Goose stops - and they're out for 23 Then the rain at Lords stopped play Seems Helen of Troy has found a new face again. |

from Genesis - The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway (1974)
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. |

from Genesis, Genesis - And Then There Were Three (1978)
The warming sun, the cooling rain
The snowflake drifting on the breath of the breeze, The lightning bolt that frees the sky for you Yet only eagles seem to pass on through The words of love, the cries of hate. And the man in the moon who seduced you Then finally loosed you. You climbed upon a burning rope to escape the Mob below, But you had put the flaming out so That others could now follow, To be out of the bounds and the barks Of those who do not wish you well. You must blaze a train of your own, unknown, alone, But keep in mind Don't live today for tomorrow like you were immortal. The onl survivors of this world of ours are The warming sun, the cooling rain The snowflake drifting on the breath of the breeze, The lightning bolt that clears the sky for you Yet only eagles seem to pass on through The words of love, the cries of hate. And the man in the moon who seduced you Then finally loosed you. You're old and disillusioned now As you realize that at last, That all you have accomplished here Will have soon all turned to dust. You dream of a future after life, Well that's as maybe, I don't know But you can't take what you left behind, You're all alone. So keep in mind Don't live today for tomorrow Like you were immortal The only survivors of this world of ours are The warming sun, the cooling rain The snowflake drifting on the breath of the breeze, The lightning bolt that clears the sky for you Yet only eagles seem to pass on through The words of love, the cries of hate. And the man in the moon who seduced you Then finally loosed you. |

from Genesis, Genesis - Calling All Stations (1997)
Calling all stations
Can anybody tell me, tell me exactly where I am I've lost all sense of direction Watching the darkness closing around me Feeling the cold all through my body That's why I'm calling all stations In the hope that someone hears me A single lonely voice I feel the sensation disappearing There's a tingling in my arms And there's a numbness in my hands All the broken promises All my good intentions don't add up to very much And I realise whatever happened, whatever happened I remember all the moments that I've wasted in my life All the things I was always gonna do Why is it now when it's too late That I've finally realised it's important to me To think that everything that's dear to me And is always in my heart Could so easily be taken And it's tearing me apart Going over and over in my mind I relive it one second at a time Calling all stations Can anybody tell me, tell me exactly where I am How different things look when your all on your own Watching the darkness closing all around me All around me And I'm lost with feeling Of your arms to remind me Of everything that's dear to me And is always in my heart Could so easily be taken And it's tearing me apart Going over and over in my mind I relive it one second at a time Don't you know there's never been a moment When I haven't had the thought That everything that's dear to me And is always in my heart Could so easily be taken And it's tearing me apart Going over and over in my mind I relive it one second at a time As I sit here in the darkness Feeling so alone And everything that's dear to me And is always in my heart... |

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... |

But I don't think that's really true But if you want to be free from me You gotta lose me in another world Send me to the Congo I'm free to leave There's always somewhere anybody can lead Send me to the Congo you have to believe You can do it if you wanna just do what you please Like a soldier ant I will wait for the signal to act To take a walk right through the door If you don't want me here any more Send me to the Congo I'm free to leave There's always somewhere anybody can lead Send me to the Congo you have to believe You can do it if you wanna just do what you please Into my heart you came And gave a whole new meaning to my life Into my world you brought a light I thought it never would go out Send me to the Congo I'm free to leave There's always somewhere anybody can lead Send me to the Congo you have to believe You can do it if you wanna just do what you please You can send me to the Congo I'm free to leave There's always somewhere anybody can lead Yes you can send me to the Congo, you have to believe You can do it if you wanna just do what you please I would never be the one to say you had no reason To want me somewhere else far far away But someday you may understand, someday you will see That someone who would die for you is all I've ever been Congo the Congo, if that's how it's got to be Congo the Congo, if that's what you want from me I would never be the one to say you had no reason To want me somewhere else far far away Someday you may understand someday you will see |

from Genesis - The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway (1974)
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, Genesis - Duke (1980)
Wake up now, this is the time you've waited for.
Far below, where shadown fester as they grow, An army thousands strong, obsessed by right and wrong, Sense their time is coming near. So they turn towards the light from their region of the night, Marching on and on, They near the air, it won't be long. You know you're on the way out, It's just a matter of time. You thought you'd rule the world forever, Long live the king, don't spare the loser. After all, you're not what you thought you were at all. You're just a natural fact, another cul-de-sac On nature's hard unfeeling trail. And all those dreams of old will be stories left untold, Cut off in your prime, extinct until the end of time. Now the host emerges, a shadow starts to fall. Not one knows what hit them, none can see at all. Even as the end approaches still they're not aware, How can you fight a foe so deadly When you don't even know it's there? And now that the job is almost done Maybe some escape, no, not even one |

Holy Mother of God
You've got to go faster than that to get to the top, Dirty old mountain All covered in smoke, she can turn you to stone So you better start doing it right Better start doing it right. You're halfway up and you're halfway down And the pack on your back is turning you around. Throw it away, you won't need it up there, and remember You don't look back whatever you do. Better start doing it right. On your left and on your right Crosses are green and crosses are blue Your friends didn't make it through. Out of the night and out of the dark Into the fire and into the fight Well that's the way the heroes go, Ho! Ho! Ho! Through a crack in Mother Earth, Blazing hot, the molten rock Spills out over the land. And the lava's the lover who licks your boots away, Hey! Hey! Hey! If you don't want to boil as well, B-B-Better start the dance D-D-Do you want to dance with me. You better start doing it right. The music's playing, the notes are right Put your left foot first and move into the light. The edge of this hill is the edge of the world And if you're going to cross you better start doing it right Better start doing it right. You better start doing it right. Let the dance begin ~ |

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. |

Get out of the way, fat man
You got something to do Go fill up your hands Till they're shining up at you You gotta get out while There's gold in the air It's falling like water Coming down from the hills Go West, young man Earn a dollar a day Just like your family said. You're rolling your days Right on into the night The head of the line's Going way out of sight Go West, young man Like your family said All along the wagons All along the dusty trail Seventeen years Not over a day Like children in the wild Your mother's milk Still wet on your face And no one to pray for Your safe journey home Out beyond the desert Across the mountains by the fall Servants who leave their masters house Are walking all the way The golden fields that beckoned you Are darkened by the years Go West, Young Man If you knew then What you know today You'd be back where you started A happier man And leave all the glory To those who have remained So Go West, Young Man Go West, Young Man Like your family said |

from Genesis, Genesis - Invisible Touch (1986)
Part 1: In the Glow of the Night
The grey of evening fills the room, There's no need to look outside, To see or feel the rain. Then I reach across to touch her, But I know that she's not there. Rain keeps running down the window pane. Time is running out for me. Can't you see what you are doing to me? Can't you see what you have done? As I try to pass another long and sleepless night, A hundred crazy voices call my name, As I try to pass them by, I almost can believe that she is here, Here in the glow of the night. Do you know what you have done? Do you know what you've begun? Do you see we shall never be together again? All of my life. Lonely people, empty rooms, Pointless violence, silent tombs. Could it be that we shall be together again? Sheets of double glazing help to keep outside the night, Only foreign city sirens can cut through, Nylon sheets and blankets help to minimize the cold. But they can't keep out the chilling sounds. Will the nightmare soon give way to dreaming That she is here with me? Here in the glow of the night. Do you know what you have done? Do you know what you've begun? Do you see we shall never be together again? All of my life. Lonely people, empty rooms, Pointless violence, silent tombs. Could it be that we shall be together again? Could it be that we shall be together again? In silence and darkness We held each other near that night We prayed it would last forever. Part 2: The Last Domino Blood on the windows Millions of ordinary people are there They gaze at the scenery They act as if it is perfectly clear Take a look at the mountains Take a look at the beautiful river of blood. The liquid surrounds me I fight to rise from this river of hell I stare round about me Children are swimming and playing with boats Their features are changing Their bodies dissolve and I am alone. Now see what you've gone and done. Now see what you've gone and done. Well now you never did see such a terrible thing As was seen last night on T.V. Maybe if we're lucky, they will show it again Such a terrible thing to see - oh But there's nothing you can do when you're next in line You've got to go domino. Now I'm one with the living and I'm feeling just fine I know just what I gotta do Play the game of happiness and never let on That it only lives on in a song - oh Well there's nothing you can do when you're next in line You've got to go domino. Do you know what you have done? Do you know what you've begun? In silence and darkness Hold each other near tonight For will it last forever? Will it last forever - forever... There's nothing you can do when you're the next in line You've got to go domino. Do you know, do you know, do you know what you have done Do you see what you've begun? Cos there's nothing, nothing, nothing There's nothing you can do, there's nothing you can do Do you see, do you see what you have done? |

Now see what you've gone and done. Now see what you've gone and done. Well now you never did see such a terrible thing As was seen last night on T.V. Maybe if we're lucky, they will show it again Such a terrible thing to see - oh But there's nothing you can do when you're next in line You've got to go domino. Now I'm one with the living and I'm feeling just fine I know just what I gotta do Play the game of happiness and never let on That it only lives on in a song - oh Well there's nothing you can do when you're next in line You've got to go domino. Do you know what you have done? Do you know what you've begun? In silence and darkness Hold each other near tonight For will it last forever? Will it last forever - forever... There's nothing you can do when you're the next in line You've got to go domino. Do you know, do you know, do you know what you have done Do you see what you've begun? Cos there's nothing, nothing, nothing There's nothing you can do, there's nothing you can do Do you see, do you see what you have done? |

Part 1: In the Glow of the Night
The grey of evening fills the room, There's no need to look outside, To see or feel the rain. Then I reach across to touch her, But I know that she's not there. Rain keeps running down the window pane. Time is running out for me. Can't you see what you are doing to me? Can't you see what you have done? As I try to pass another long and sleepless night, A hundred crazy voices call my name, As I try to pass them by, I almost can believe that she is here, Here in the glow of the night. Do you know what you have done? Do you know what you've begun? Do you see we shall never be together again? All of my life. Lonely people, empty rooms, Pointless violence, silent tombs. Could it be that we shall be together again? Sheets of double glazing help to keep outside the night, Only foreign city sirens can cut through, Nylon sheets and blankets help to minimize the cold. But they can't keep out the chilling sounds. Will the nightmare soon give way to dreaming That she is here with me? Here in the glow of the night. Do you know what you have done? Do you know what you've begun? Do you see we shall never be together again? All of my life. Lonely people, empty rooms, Pointless violence, silent tombs. Could it be that we shall be together again? Could it be that we shall be together again? In silence and darkness We held each other near that night We prayed it would last forever.
