Where The Sour Turns To Sweet (Banks, Gabriel) lyrics

Thin hung the web like a trap in a cage,
The fox lay asleep in his lair.
Fang's frantic paws told the tale of his sin,
Far off the chase shrieked revenge.
Outcast he trespassed where no wolf may tread,
The last sacred haunt of the dead.
He learnt of a truth which only one wolk may know,
The sceptre and crown of a king.
Howling for blood, One-eye leads on the pack,

In The Beginning (Gabriel, Phillips) lyrics

I got sunshine in my stomach
Like I just rocked my baby to sleep
I got sunshine in my stomach
But I can't keep me from creeping sleep
Sleep, deep in the deep

Rockface moves to press my skin
White liquids turn sour within
Turn fast - turn sour
Turn sweat - turn sour
Must tell myself that I'm not here
I'm drowning in a liquid fear
Bottled in a strong compression
My distortion shows obsession

Fireside Song (Banks, Phillips, Rutherford) lyrics

As daybreak breaks the mist upon the earth
It came to pass that beauty settled there forever more
And as the steam clings close to things to come
It came to pass that solid rock did part for humble life

Once upon a time there was confusion
Disappointment, fear and disillusion
Now there's hope reborn with every morning
See the future clearly at its dawning

Am I Very Wrong (Banks, Gabriel) lyrics

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, everything all right

In The Wilderness (Banks, Gabriel, Phillips, Rutherford) lyrics

All that time I was searching with nowhere to run to

It started me thinking
wondering what I could make of my life

And who'd be waiting.
Asking all kinds of questions to myself

but never finding the answers.
Crying at the top of my voice
and no one listening.
All this time I still remember everything you said

There's so much you promised
how could I ever forget?

The Conqueror (Banks, Gabriel) lyrics

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

In Hiding (Gabriel, Phillips) lyrics

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

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

One Day (Banks, Gabriel) lyrics

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

Window (Phillips, Rutherford) lyrics

Go far enough and you will reach
A place where the sea runs underneath
We'll see our shadow, high in the sky
Dying away in the night

I've sailed the world for seven years
And left all I love behind in tears
Won't you come here, wherever you are
I've been alone long enough

You, you have your own special way
Of holding my hand keep it way 'bove the water
Don't ever let go - Oh no, no, no

In Limbo (Banks, Gabriel, Phillips, Rutherford, Silver) lyrics

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 a 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

Silent Sun (Banks, Gabriel) lyrics

Rivers flow uphill
Blue turns into grey
Winter follows springtime
Morning ends the day
Beyond the silver rainbow

If you're walking home beside her
And you know what time it is
And if you avoid the puddles in your way
You haven't been there either
To the land that lies
Beyond the silver rainbow

But if you're walking home beside her
And the sun should turn to blue

A Place To Call My Own (Banks, Gabriel) lyrics

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

The Silent Sun (Banks, Gabriel) lyrics

Rivers flow uphill
Blue turns into grey
Winter follows springtime
Morning ends the day
Beyond the silver rainbow

If you're walking home beside her
And you know what time it is
And if you avoid the puddles in your way
You haven't been there either
To the land that lies
Beyond the silver rainbow

But if you're walking home beside her
And the sun should turn to blue

That's Me (Phillips, Rutherford) lyrics

Genesis
That's All
Just as I thought it was going all right
I find out I'm wrong, when I thought I was right
It's always the same, it's just a shame, that's all
I could say day, and you'd say night
Tell me it's black when I know that it's white
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

A Winter's Tale (Banks, Gabriel) lyrics

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

One-Eyed Hound (Banks, Gabriel) lyrics

Mister you've been caught at last
Chasing dogs in the moonlight
This man committed a sin
This man he never can win
Mister you've got one more chance
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 the one-eyed hound
And it's all been tried before
Night is the time for chasing the one-eyed hound

In Hiding lyrics

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

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

In The Beginning lyrics

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 a 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

In The Wilderness lyrics

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

That'S Me lyrics

Every morning when the people are out
And I'm free 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
