01-AFTERGLOW – Sol M
Genesis
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.
than 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.

02-AM I VERY WRONG – C1 Si m
Genesis
Am I very wrong
To hide behind the glare
from 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,
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
They say,
we hope your life will never end
They say never end, never end,
never end, never end, never end
They say never end - no
They say never end, never end...
03-ENTANGLED – Si m
Genesis
When you're asleep they may show you
aerial views of the ground,
freudian slumber empty of sound.
Over the rooftops and houses,
lost as it tries to be seen,
fields of incentive covered with green.
Mesmerised children are playing,
meant to be seen but not heard,
"stop me from dreaming!"
"don't be absurd!"
"well
if we can help you we will,
you're looking tired and ill.
as i count backwards
your eyes become heavier still.
sleep,
won't you allow yourself fall?
nothing can hurt you at all.
with your consent
i can experiment further still."
Madrigal music is playing,
voices can faintly be heard,
"please leave this patient undisturbed."
Sentenced to drift far away now,
nothing is quite what it seems,
sometimes entangled in your own dreams.
"well, if we can help you we will,
soon as you're tired and ill.
with your consent
we can experiment further still.
04-FOLLOW YOU FOLLOW ME – Sol M
Genesis
Stay with me,
My love i hope you'll always be
Right here by my side
if ever i needed you
Oh my love
In your arms,
I feel so safe and so secure
Everyday is such
a perfect day to spend
Alone with you
I will follow you will you
follow me All the
days and nights that we
know will be I will
stay with you will you
stay with me Just one
single tear in each
passing year
With the dark,
I see so very clearly now
All my fears are drifting
by me so slowly now
Fading away
I can say
The night is long but you are there
Close at hand
i'm better for the smile you give
And while i live
I will follow you will you
follow me All the
days and nights that we
know will be I will
stay with you will you
stay with me Just one
single tear in each
passing year there will be
I will follow you ...
05-FOR ABSENT FRIENDS – Re M
Genesis
Sunday at six
when they close both the gates
a widowed pair,
still sitting there,
wonder if they're late for church
and it's 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 two pence on the plate,
they hurry down the path
and through the gate and wait
to board the bus
that ambles down the street
06-IN HIDING – Mi m
Genesis
Pick me up, Put me down
Push me in, Turn me round
Switch me on, Let me go
I have a mind of my own
In hiding
Far from the city of night
And the factories of truth
I stand upon the mountain
A million miles from my home
And the faces of fear
I have freedom to think
Pick me up ,Put me down
Push me in, Turn me round
Switch me on ,Let me go
I have a mind of my own
In hiding
I lie silent at last
I am free from my past
I walk among the tall trees
This is beauty I know
I am in love with it all
I have the freedom to love
In hiding
Pick me up ,Put me down
Push me in ,Turn me round
Switch me on, Let me go
I have a mind of my own
In hiding
I may take off my clothes
That I wear on my face
I float upon a river
A million miles from the plains
That are piercing the clouds
I am lost in the beauty …
07-MAD MAN MOON – Mi m
Genesis
Was it summer when the river ran dry,
or was it just another dam.
when the evil of a snowflake in june
could still be a source of relief.
o how i love you,
i once cried long ago,
but i was the one
who decided to go.
to search beyond the final crest,
though i'd heard it said just birds
could dwell
so high.
So i pretended to have wings for my arms
and took off in the air.
i flew to places which the clouds never see,
too close to the deserts of sand,
where a thousand mirages,
the shepherds of lies
forced me to land
and take a disguise.
i would welcome a horse's kick to send me back
if i could find a horse
not made
of sand.
If this desert's all there'll ever be
then tell me what becomes of me.
a fall of rain?
that must have been another
of your dreams,
a dream of mad
man moon.
INTERLUDE
Hey man,
i'm the sand man.
and boy have i news for you;
they're gonna throw you in gaol
and you know they can't fail
'cos sand is thicker than blood.
but a prison in sand
is a haven in hell,
for a gaol can give you a goal
[and a] goal can find you a role
on a muddy pitch in Newcastle,
where it rains so much
you can't wait for a touch
of sun and sand, sun and sand...
Within the valley of shadowless death
they pray for thunderclouds and rain,
but to the multitude who stand in the rain
heaven is where the sun shines.
the grass will be greener
till the stems turn to brown
and thoughts will fly higher
till the earth brings them down.
forever caught in desert lands
one has to learn to dis
believe
the sea.
If this desert's all there'll ever be
then tell me what becomes of me.
a fall of rain?
that must have been another
of your dreams,
a dream of mad
man moon.
08-MISUNDERSTANDING – Re m
Genesis
Must be some misunderstanding
there must be some kind of mistake
i waited in the rain for hours
and you were late.
now it's not like me to say the right thing
but you could've called to let me know
i checked your number twice, don't understand it
so i went home
well i'd been waiting
for this weekend
i thought that maybe
we could see a show
never dreamed i'd have this feeling
oh but seeing you is believing
that's why i don't know why
you didn't show up that night
there must be some misunderstanding
there must be some kind of mistake
i was waiting in the rain for hours
and you were late
since then i've been running around
trying to find
you went to the places that we
always go
i rang your home but got no answer
jumped in my car, i went round there
still don't believe I the was just leaving
there must be some misunderstanding
there must be some kind of mistake...09-NO REPLY AT ALL – Re M

10-RIPPLES – Mi M
Genesis
Blue girls come in every size
some are wise and some otherwise
they got pretty blue eyes
for an hour a man may change
for an hour her face looks strange
looks strange, looks strange
Marching to the promised land
where the honey flows and takes you by the hand
pulls you down on your knees
while you're down a pool appears
the face in the water looks up
and she shakes her head as if to say
that it's the last time you'll look like today
Sail away, away
ripples never come back
gone to the other side
sail away, sail away
The face that launched a thousand ships
is sinking fast, that happens you know
the water gets below
seems not very long ago
lovelier she was
than any that i know
Angels never know it's time
to close the book and gracefully decline
the song has found a tale
my, what a jealous pool she is
the face in the water looks up
she shakes her head as if to say
that the blue girls have all gone away
Sail away, away
ripples never come back
they've gone to the other side
look into the pool
ripples never come back
dive to the bottom and go to the top
to see where they have gone
11-THAT’S ALL – Mi m
Genesis
Just as i thought it was going alright
I find out i'm wrong, when i thought i was right
S'always the same, it's just a shame, that's all
I could say day, you'd say night
Tell it's black when i know that it's white
S'always the same, it's just a shame, that's all
I could leave but i won't go
Though my heart might tell me so
I can't feel a thing from my head
Down to my toes
So why does it always seem to be
Me looking at you, you looking at me
S'always the same, it's just a shame, that's all
Turning me on, turning me off
Making me feel like i want too much
Living with you's
Just putting me through it all of the time
Running around, staying out all night
Taking it all instead of taking one bite
Living with you's
Just putting me through it all of the time
CHORUS
But i love you
More than i wanted to
There's no point in trying to pretend
There's been no-one who
Makes me feel like you do
Say we'll be together til the end
(break)

12-THE CINEMA SHOW – Re M
Genesis
Home from work our Juliet
Clears her morning meal.
She dabs her skin with pretty smells
Concealing to appeal.
I will make my bed,
She said,
but turned to go.
Can she be late for her cinema show?
Cinema show
Romeo locks his basement flat,
And scurries up the stair.
With head held high and floral tie,
A weekend millionaire.
I will make my bed
With her tonight, he cries.
Can he fail
armed with his chocolate surprise?
*Take a little trip
back with father Tiresias,
Listen to the old one speak
of qall he has lived through.
I have crossed between the poles,
for me there's no mystery.
Once a man, like the sea I raged,
Once a woman, like the earth I gave.
There is in fact
more earth than sea
13-UNDERTOW – La M
Genesis
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 embrace,
All fears go out 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
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,
Telling me the danger's past,
I need not fear the icy blast again.
14-TIME TABLE – C1 Sol M
Genesis
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
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,

16-YOUR OWN SPECIAL WAY – Do M
Genesis
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.
Oh, won't you come here,
wherever you are,
I've been all 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.
Whose 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 me17-ME AND SARAH JANE – Do M

falling through those same old crowded rooms.

walking down the streets,
and finding nothing is the same,
and now the city lights are dimming one by one,
it costs too much money to keep them all on.
18-I KNOW WHAT I LIKE (IN YOUR WARDROBE) – La M
Genesis
It's one o'clock and time for lunch,
When the sun beats down and I lie on the bench,
I can always hear them talk.
There's always been Ethel:
"Jacob, wake up! You've got to tidy your room now."
And then Mister Lewis:
"Isn't it time that he was out on his own?"
Over the garden wall,
two little lovebirds - cuckoo to you!
Keep them mowing blades sharp ....
I know what I like,
and I like what I know;
getting better in your wardrobe,
Sunday night, Mr Farmer called, said:
"Listen son, you're wasting time;
there's a future for you
in the fire escape trade. Come up to town!"
But I remembered a voice from the past;
"Gambling only pays when you're winning"
- I had to thank old Miss Mort
for schooling a failure.
Keep them mowing blades sharp ....
I know what I like,
and I like what I know;
getting better in your wardrobe,
stepping one beyond your show.
I know what I like,
and I like what I know;
getting better in your wardrobe,
stepping one beyond your show.
When the sun beats down and I lie on the bench,
I can always hear them talk.
Me, I'm just a lawnmower - you can tell me by the way I walk.

Genesis
"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
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 she plays Fortune.
The deck is uneven right from the start;
all of their hands are playing apart.
The 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
20-MORE FOOL ME – C1 La m
Genesis
Here am I
Who while away the mornings
Since you've gone
Too long have I lay alone
Not knowing which way to turn.
And there you are
Quite sure that you were right
Knowing full well
That I'd be the first one
To go down.
And you'd be the one who was laughing
Except when things were'nt going you're way
Then the lady would say that she'd had enough
Wandering around on her own.
The day you left
I think you knew you'd not be back
Well at least it would seem that way
Because you never said goodbye.
But when it comes round to you and me
I'm sure it will work out alright.
And you'd be the one who was laughing
Giving me something I don't need
You know, I'd always hold you and keep you warm
Oh! more fool me.
But when it comes
Round to you and me
I ask myself
Do I really believe
In your love.
Yes, I'm sure it will work out alright

Genesis
Wrapped up in some powdered
wool-I guess I'm losing touch.
Don't tell me I'm 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 up
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've saved me?
Cuckoo cocoon have I come to, too soon for you?

Genesis
I heard the old man tell his tale:
Tinker, alone within a storm,
And losing hope he clears
the leaves beneath a tree,
Seven stones
Lay on the ground.
Within the seventh house a friend was found.
And the changes of no consequence
will pick up the reins from nowhere.
Sailors, in peril on the sea,
Amongst the waves a rock looms
nearer, and not yet seen.
They see a gull
Flying by.
The Captain turns the boat and he asks not why.
And the changes of no consequence
will pick up the reins from nowhere.
Nowhere.
Ahhhh, ahhhh
*Despair that tires the world
brings the old man laughter.
The laughter of the world
only grieves him,
believe him,
The old man's guide is chance.
I heard the old man tell his tale:
Organ break
Farmer, who knows not when to sow,
Consults the old man
clutching money in his hand.
And with a shrug,
The old man smiled,
Took the money, left the farmer wild.
And the changes of no consequence
will pick up the reins from nowhere.
Nowhere.
Ahhhh, ahhhh
Despair that tires the world
brings the old man laughter.
The laughter of the world
only grieves him, believe him,
The old man's guide is chance.23-DANCE O A VOLCANO – Sib M

Holy mother of god You’ve got

Dirty old mountain
All covered in smoke,

So you better start doing it right
Better start doing it right.
Better start doing it right.
You’re halfway up

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.
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 lavas the lover
who licks your boots away. hey! hey! hey!
If you don’t want to boil as well.

Genesis
Many too many have stood where I stand
Many more will stand here too,
I think what I find strange is the way you built me up
Then knocked me down again.
The part was fun but now its over,
Why cant I just leave the stage?
Maybe thats because you securely locked me up
Then threw away the key.
Oh mama,
Please would you find the key.
Oh pretty mama,
Please wont you let me go free.
I thought I was lucky
I thought that Id got it made.
How could I be so blind?
You said good-bye on a corner
That I thought led to the straight.
You set me on a firmly laid and simple course
Then removed the road.
Oh mama,
Please help me find my way.
Oh pretty mama,
Please lead me through the next day.
I thought I was lucky
Oh I thought that Id got it made.
How could I be so blind? oh no...25-SNOWBOUND – La m
Genesis
Lay your body down upon the midnight snow,
Feel the cold of winter in your hair
Here in a world of your own, In a casing that's grown
To a children's delight
That arrived overnight.
And here they come to play their magic games
Carving names upon your frozen hand.
Here in a world of your own, Like a sleeper whose eyes
Sees the pain with surprise
As it smothers your cries
They'll never never know…
Hey there's a Snowman
Hey, Hey what a Snowman
Pray for the Snowman
Ooh, Ooh what a Snowman
They say a snow year's a good year
Filled with the love of all who lie so deep.
Smiling faces tear your body to the ground
Covered red that only we can see.
Here in a ball that they made
From the snow on the ground,
See it rolling away
Wild eyes to the sky
They'll never, never know.
Hey there's a Snowman
Hey what a Snowman
Pray for the Snowman
Ooh, Ooh what a Snowman
They say a snow year's a good year
Filled with the love of all who lie so deep.
Hey there goes the Snowman
Hey there what a Snowman
Hey there lies the Snowman
Hey he was a Snowman
They say a snow year's a good year
Filled with the love of all who lie so deep.
26-LOOKING FOR SOMEONE – Sol m
Genesis
Looking for someone,
I guess I'm doing that,
Trying to find a mem'ry in a dark room.
Dirty man, you're looking like a Buddha,
I know you well -
yeah.
Keep on a straight line,
I don't believe I can,
Trying to find a needle in a haystack.
Chilly wind you're piercing like a dagger,
It hurts me so -
yeah.
Nobody needs to discover me,
I'm back again.
You see the sunlight
through the Trees to keep you warm,
In peaceful shades of green.
*Yet in the darkness of my mind
Damascus wasn't far behind.
Lost in a subway,
I guess I'm losing time,
There's a man looking at a magazine.
You're such a fool, your mumbo-jumbo
Never tells me anything -
yeah.
Nobody needs to discover me,
I'm back again.
You feel the ashes from the Fire
that kept you warm.
Its comfort disappears,
But still the only friend I know
Would never tell me where I go.
Looking for someone,
And now I've found myself a name.
Come away, leave me,
All that I have I will give.
Leave me, leave me,
All that I am I will give.27-ANYWAY – Sol m
Genesis
All the pumping's nearly over for my sweet heart,
This is the one for me,
Time to meet the chef, Oh 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 everybody'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 the earth
'how wonderful to be so profound,
when everything you are
is dying underground.'
--INSTRUMENTAL BREAK—
I feel the pull on the rope, let me off at the rainbow.
I could have been exploding 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."28-IN THE WILDERNESS – Fa M
Genesis
Leaving all the world to play they disappear
And the leaves have gathered dust to run like deer
Tearing pieces from our lives to feed the dawn
Mist surrounds the seagulls christened by the storm
Music, all I hear is music
guaranteed to please
And I look for something else
Rain drops
pouring down the rooftops
Flowing in the drains
As the people run their lives
As their lives are run by time
Fighting enemies with weapons made to kill
Death is easy as a substitute for pride
Victors join together, happy in their bed
Leaving cold outside the children of the dead
Music, all I hear is music
guaranteed to please
And I look for something else
Rain drops
pouring down the rooftops
Flowing in the drains
As the people run their lives
As their lives are run by (bis) |
29-HARLEQUIN – Sol M
Genesis
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 door,
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
When your eyes can see
Order the pieces, put them back,
put them back.30-ROBBERY, ASSAUT AND BATTERY – C1 Re M
Genesis
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, forever.
Robbery, assault and battery,
The felon and his felony.
Robbery, assault and battery,
The felon and his felony.
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, forever.
Robbery, assault and battery,
The felon and his felony.
Robbery, assault and battery,
The felon and his felony.
31-SUPPER'S READY – Fa# m
Genesis
Walking across the sitting-room,
I turn the television off.
Sitting beside you,
I look into your eyes.
As the sound of motor cars
fades in the night time,
I swear I saw your face change,
it didn't seem quite right.
...And it's hello babe
with your guardian eyes so blue
Hey my baby
don't you know our love is true.
Coming closer with our eyes,
a distance falls around our bodies.
Out in the garden,
the moon seems very bright,
Six saintly shrouded men
move across the lawn slowly.
The seventh walks in front
with a cross held high in hand.
...And it's hey babe
your supper's waiting for you.
Hey my baby,
don't you know our love is true.
*I've been so far from here,
Far from your warm arms.
It's good to feel you again,
It's been a long long time. Hasn't it?
SINTH SOLO
I know a farmer who looks after the farm.
With water clear, he cares for all his harvest.
I know a fireman who looks after the fire…
You, can't you see he's fooled you all.
Yes, he's here again,
can't you see he's fooled you all.
Share his peace, Sign the lease.
He's a supersonic scientist,
He's the guaranteed eternal sanctuary man.
Look, look into my mouth he cries,
And all the children lost down many paths,
I bet my life you'll walk inside
Hand in hand, gland in gland
With a spoonful of miracle,
He's the guaranteed eternal sanctuary.
We will rock you, rock you little snake,
We will keep you snug and warm.
Wearing feelings on our faces
while our faces took a rest,
We walked across the fields
to see the children of the West,
But we saw a host of dark skinned warriors
standing still below the ground,
Waiting for battle.The fight's begun, they've been released.
Killing foe for peace...
bang, bang, bang. Bang, bang, bang...
And they're giving me a wonderful potion,
'Cos I cannot contain my emotion.
And even though I'm feeling good,
Something tells me I'd better
activate my prayer capsule.
Today's a day to celebrate,
the foe have met their fate.
The order for rejoicing and dancing
has come from our warlord.
Wandering through the chaos the battle has left,
We climb up a mountain of human flesh,
To a plateau of green grass, and green trees full of life.
A young figure sits still by a pool,
He's been stamped "Human Bacon" by some butchery tool.
(He is you)
Social Security took care of this lad.
We watch in reverence, as Narcissus is turned to a flower.32-BEHIND THE LINES – Do M
Genesis
I held the book so tightly in my hands,
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 no warning
You gave me no reason
But I was with you
Right by your side
Just give me the strength,
And I will help you
And they can try their hardest,
Cos they don't frighten me
It is written in the book
It is 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
Ooh 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 then I've read those words
Just waiting to see you, can you see me?33-BURNING ROPE – Re M
Genesis
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 trail of your own, unknown, alone,
But keep in mind
Don't live today for tomorrow like you were immortal.
The only survivors on this world of ours are
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're old and disillusioned now as you realise 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 on this world of ours are
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...34-THE LAMIA – Si M7
Genesis
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 chocolate fingers.
Looking behind me,
the water turns icy blue,
The lights are dimmed and once again
the stage is set for you.
35-ALL IN A MOUSE'S NIGHT – C1 Do M
Genesis
[Loving Couple:]
I can't see you but I know you're there.
Got to get beside you 'cause 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.
Aaah, aaah, aaah, aaah.
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.
36-COUNTING OUT TIME – C1 Sol M
Genesis
I'm counting out time,
Got the whole thing down by numbers.
All those numbers!
Give me guidance!
O Lord I need that now.
The 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 it's too late.
Don't leave nothing to fate.
I studied every line, every page in the book,
Now, I've got the real thing here,
I'm gonna take a look, take a look.
This is Real!
I'm counting out time,
hoping it goes like I planned it,
'cos I understand it.
Look! I've found the hotspots, Figs 1-9.
- still counting out time,
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, dilation of the pupils.
"Honey get hip! It's time to unzip,
to unzip, zip, zip-a-zip-a-zip.
Whipee!"
(Take it away Mr. Guitar)
- Move over Casanova -
I'm counting out time,
reaction none to 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.
37-CARPET CRAWLERS – La M
Genesis
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 void
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 in 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 chambers said to be
Like the forest fight for sunlight,
that takes root in every tree
They are pulled up by the magnet,
believing that 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 a 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 mannekin
with shattered skin fears attack
And the eager pack lift up their pitchers,
they carry all they lack
The liquid has congealed,
which has seeped out through the crack
And the tickler takes his stickleback…
The carpet crawlers
heed their callers:
"We've got to get in to get out
We've got to get in to get out

Lay your body down upon the midnight snow
Feel the cold of winter in your hair
Here in a world of your own
In a casing that's grown
To the children's delight
That arrived on the night
Here they come to play their magic games
Carving names upon your frozen hand
Here in a world of your own
Like a sleeper whose eyes
Sees the pain with surprise
As it smothers your cries
They'll never, never know
Hey there's a Snowman
Hey, hey what a Snowman
Pray for the Snowman
Ooh, ooh what a Snowman
They say a snow year's a good year
Filled with the love of all who lie so deep
Smiling faces tear your body to the ground
Covered red that only we can see
Here in a ball that they made
From the snow on the ground
See it rolling away
With wild eyes to the sky
They'll never, never know
Hey there's a Snowman
Hey what a Snowman
Pray for the Snowman
Ooh, ooh what a Snowman
They say a snow year's a good year
Filled with the love of all who lie so deep
Hey there goes the Snowman
Hey there what a Snowman
Hey there lies a Snowman
Hey there was a Snowman
They say a snow year's a good year
Filled with the love of all who lie so deep
Hey there goes the Snowman ...
39-ELEVENTH EARL OF MAR – Re M
Genesis
The sun had been up for a couple of hours,
Covered the ground with a layer of gold.
Spirits were high and the raining had stopped,
The larder was low, but--boy!--that wasn't all.
Eleventh Earl of Mar
Couldn't get them very far.
Daddy!!! Oh, Daddy!!! You promised.
Out on the road in the direction of Perth,
Backwards and forwards in a circle they went.
Found a city half open and ready to greet
Those conquering heroes with blisters on their feet.
Eleventh Earl of Mar
Somehow got them all this far.
Daddy!!! You promised, you promised.
See the steward all dressed up,
He's got eyes in the back of his head ...
Who came in a cockleshell boat
That could only just float,
Couldn't even lift a sword,
Dressed too fine and smelling of wine.Daddy, you've got to go!!!
Here comes the bishop all dressed up,
He's gonna bless you if you're ready to pay.
One wave of his funny old stick,
There's a band of light across your eyes.
Waited a week, still they hadn't appeared,
That glorious timing that everyone feared.
So they're riding along on the crest of a wave,
They're headed for London, and that will be their grave.
Eleventh Earl of Mar,
Well!!! he couldn't get them down that far.
Daddy!!! I'm waiting, I'm waiting.
Time to go to bed now,
Never seems too keen
To be a guest now
In a house of dreams.
Flying from a hillside
Beckoning the trees
A sailboat's awning
Mimicking the breeze.
I'm fighting gravity falling
My Daddy won't let them get me
A voice screams seems to be calling
The face turns features are burning.
Daddy, you've got to go!!!
See the fifteen going by,
Tell the Lairds and the Lords
They're running backwards today,
And once again you stand alone.
Bury your memories bury your friends,
Leave it alone for a year or two.
Till the stories go hazy
And the legends come true,
Then do it again.
Some things never end.
Eleventh Earl of Mar
Won't be going very far.
You promised, You promised, you promised.
Daddy!!!
40-THE LADY LIES – C1 Si m
Genesis
The man steps out in the moonlight
At the sound of a scream from below.
He thinks he is a warrior
So he picks up his sword and goes.
From the mouth of the monster
He rescues the maiden fair.
But we know she's a demon
Come to lure him to demon's lair.
Through restless foliage
and tall trees he leads
To a house in a clearing,
a place in her fear she calls home.
"Come with me, I need you,
I fear the dark and I live all alone.
I'll give you wine and food too
And something special after if you like."
And though his body bids him
To enter in with her,
There was something in her manner
That his mind could not ignore.
Also it is whispered
In the kingdom far and wide,
To beware a little cottage
In the forest in a glade.
For who knows what magic
takes place in his world?
So he just thanks her kindly
preparing to go on his way.
"Come with me, I need you,
I fear the dark and I live all alone.
I'll give you wine and food too
And something special after if you like.
Come to my garden,
Taste the fruits and the spices of love.
You can't resist me,
I'm the kind that your dreams tell you of."
"So glad you could make it
We had everything arranged.
So glad you saw fit to pay a call."
Some men never listen,
And others never learn,
But why this man did as he did
Only he will ever know.
He knew he was walking
Into a waiting trap,
Neatly set up for him
With a bait so richly wrapped.
So he went inside there
to take on what he found
But he never escaped them,
for who can escape what he desires?
"Come with me, I need you,
I fear the dark and I live all alone.
I'll give you wine and food too
And something special after if you like."
41-LILYWHITE LILITH – C1 La M
Genesis
The chamber was in confusion
All the voices shouting loud
I could only just hear
A voice quite near say
"Please help me through the crowd"
Said if I helped her through
She could help me too
But I could see that she was wholly blind
But from her pale face
And her pale skin
A moonlight shined
Lilywhite Lilith
She gonna take you through the tunnel of night
Lilywhite Lilith
She gonna lead you right
When I'd led her through the people
The angry noise began to grow
She said "Let me feel
The way the breezes blow
And I'll show you where to go"
So I followed her into a big round cave
She said "They're coming for you
Now don't be afraid"
Then she sat me down
On a cold stone throne
Carved in jade
Lilywhite Lilith
She gonna take you through the tunnel of night
Lilywhite Lilith
She gonna lead you right
She leaves me in my darkness
I have to face
Face my fear
And the darkness
Closes in on me
I can hear a whirring sound
Growing near
I can see the corner of the tunnel
Lit up
By whatever's coming here
Two golden globes
Float into the room
And a blaze of white light
Fills the air42-ONE DAY – Do M
Genesis
Don't get me wrong
I think I'm in love
But the feeling in the word is more
Than your crystal eyes will ever see in me
Don't get me wrong
Open your eyes
Although I cannot show my heart
I'll watch and hope while you are near to me.
One day I'll capture you
And call you to my side
One day I'll take you from
The boredom of our lives
One day we'll fly away
To the kingdom of my dreams
One day I'll find myself
And wrap it in my love for you.
Birds of the sky, may I borrow your wings?
Very soon I'll ask my love
To travel with me to the world outside
Cherry trees, may I borrow your bloom?
Very soon I'll ask my love
To come inside the nest I'll build alone.
One day I'll capture you
And call you to my side
One day I'll take you from
The boredom of our lives
One day we'll fly away
To the kingdom of my dreams
One day I'll find myself
And wrap it in my love for you.
Animal friends
Help me decide
When should I ask my love to leave?
I'll beg of you that she'll say yes to me
Breathe in deep
Now!!! is the time
She looks at me and gently smiles
As if she knew I'd ask her all the time.
One day I'll capture you
And call you to my side
One day I'll take you from
The boredom of our lives
One day we'll fly away
To the kingdom of my dreams
One day I'll find myself
And wrap it in my love for you.43-ONE-EYED HOUND – C1 Mi M

Mister you've been caught at last
Chasing dogs in the moonlight

If you catch the hound when the sun shines
This man committed a sin
This man he never can win
And it's all gone wrong
Night is the time for chasing

And it's all been tried before
Night is the time for chasing

Have you seen the one-eyed hound?
Tell me where he's going

This man he never can win
Every place that I have been
No-one else has seen him
This man committed a sin
This man he never can win

And it's all been tried before
Night is the time for chasing

Everybody's telling me
exactly where to go
This man committed a sin
This man he never can win
People call and people talk
But they don't reach agreement
This man committed a sin
This man he never can win

He climbs inside the looking glass
And points at anything he hates
He calls to you, Hey look out son
There's a gun they're pointing
At your pretty face.
And the heads they are a rolling
Cos the conqueror is on his way
And the justice day is coming
For the conqueror is on his way.
Five hundred little women
Are calling at their hero's door
Yes!!! their hero is working overtime
He's squirming on an empty floor.
And the heads they are a rolling
Cos the conqueror is on his way
And the justice day is coming
For the conqueror is on his way.
He's bought the castle on the hill
He's bought it just to knock it down
The local power shout him down
They say he's just an empty headed clown.
And the heads they are a rolling
Cos the conqueror is on his way
And the justice day is coming
For the conqueror is on his way.
He's busy building monuments
To hide inside his empty grave
You there, can you find some souls
He's looking for some people to save.
And the heads they are a rolling
Cos the conqueror is on his way
And the justice day is coming
For the conqueror is on his way
And the words of love are killing him
The conqueror is on his way.
And the words of love
Were lying on an empty floor
Just in the place
Where the conqueror lay...

And I'm free to move around on my own
I look into the sun and I see a reflection
Of a sad and lonely shrivelled man
That's me, that's me
And I know it's how I'm always gonna be
Nothing to do, nothing to say
Nothing to hope, and nothing to pray
I can see, I can feel
I've forgotten what I'm meant to be
Won't come back, not if I try
They told me things about me that I didn't know
But I could tell they've told me lies
And it really goes to show
That everyone was wrong
And they don't understand my ways
But it's not me that's going wrong, it's them
I can see, I can feel
I've forgotten what I'm meant to be
Won't come back, not if I try
They told me things about me that I didn't know
But I could tell they've told me lies
And it really goes to show
That everyone was wrong
And they don't understand my ways
But it's not me that's going wrong, it's them
Every morning when the people are out
And I'm free move around my own
I look into the sun and I see a reflection
Of a sad and lonely shrivelled man
That's me, that's me
And I know it's how I'm always gonna be
That's me, that's me
And I know it's how I'm always gonna be
Shrivelled old man Who hides from a world
He's never seen the light That can set him free
His vicious life Is such a shame
I wanna find out who's to blame
And that's me, oh that's me, aaoh
Set me free46-A WINTER'S TALE – La M
Genesis
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.
CHORUS
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.47-IN THE BEGINNING – Mi M
Genesis
Ocean of motion
Squirming around and up and down
Pushing together
Scattering mountains all around you
That is the sound of a new born world
And the light from a curious sky
It has begun
You're in the hands of destiny
Thrashing with violence
Hurling its lava up and down
Furnace of frenzy
Burning with power uncontrolled
That is the sound of a new born world
And the light from a curious sky
It has begun
You're in the hands of destiny
Is that the chariot with stallions gold?
Is that a prince of heaven on the ground?
Is that the roar of a thundercrash?
This is my world and it's waiting to be crowned
Father, son, looks down with happiness
Life is on its way
Ocean of motion
Squirming around and up and down
Pushing together
Scattering mountains all around you
That is the sound of a new born world
And the light from a curious sky
It has begun
You're in the hands of destiny
Is that the chariot with stallions gold?
Is that a prince of heaven on the ground?
Is that the roar of a thundercrash?
This is my world and it's waiting to be crowned
Father, son, looks down with happiness
Life is on its way
48-WHERE THE SOUR TURNS TO SWEET
C1 Mi M Genesis
We're waiting for you
Come and join us now
We need you with us
Come and join us now
Look inside your mind
See the darkness is creeping out
I can see in the softness there
Where the sunshine is gliding in
Fill your mind with love
Find the world of future glory
You can meet yourself
Where the sour turns to sweet
Leave your ugly selfish shell
To melt in the glowing flames
Can you sense the change?
See your eyes, now listen
We're waiting for you
Come and join us now
We want you with us
Come and join us now
Paint your face all white
To show the peace inside
Drift away while the saffron burns
To the land where the rainbow ends
Can you sense the change?
See your eyes in focus
We're waiting for you
Come and join us now
We need you with us
Come and join us now
We're waiting for you
Come and join us now
We need you with us
Come and join us now
We want you with us
Come and join us now
We need you with us
Come and join us now
49-THE MUSICAL BOX – Si m
Genesis
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.
La, la , la …
interlude
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 soul was he.
So he called for his pipe,
And he called for his bowl,
And he called for his fiddlers three.
But the clock, tick-tock,
On the mantle piece -
And I want, and I feel, and I know, and I touch,
Her warmth...
Shes a lady, shes got time,
Brush back your hair,
and let me get to know your face.
Shes a lady, she is mine.
Brush back your hair, and let me get to know your flesh.
Ive been waiting here for so long
And all this time has passed 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 dont you touch me, touch me,
Why dont you touch me, touch me,
Touch me now, now, now, now, now...50-ALONE AGAIN – Re M
Genesis
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, 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, and 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 tonight, alone again tonight
Oh I'm alone again, alone again tonight
Oh I'm alone again, and 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...51-MOMMA – Mi m
