lyrics

WHEN GENESIS DID TRESPASS THEIR NURSES LOVED THIS CRYME
FOXES SELLING ENGLAND; LAMBS COUNTING OUT TIME
THIS IS EVERYTHING PETER DID; AFTER THAT CAME CRAP
A DRINKIN SINGING DRUMMER JUST CANT PHIL THIS GAP

NO MORE CRAZY COSTUMES; NO MORE STORIES TOLD
NO MORE WEIRDO HAIRDOO; THE OLD MAN NOW IS BOLD
ALL WE WANT IS SOME MELLOTRON; CHOIR STRINGS WITH BRASS
TWELVE STRING PICKING MIKEY; BASS PEDALS AT LAST

IT´S ALL OVER SINCE THE DAY
THE DAY PETER WENT AWAY
AND NO MATTER WHAT WE SAY
HE WILL NOT COME BACK NO WAY

WE WATCHED THE WATCH PERFORM IN TOWN
FROM TRESPASS UP TO LAMB LIES DOWN

NOW WHO WILL LIGHT UP THIS DARKNESS; WHO WILL HOLD OUR HAND
WHO WILL WRITE US THE LYRICS WE DON'T UNDERSTAND
WHY MUST I HAVE TO BE THE ONE WHO HAS TO CONVINCE YOU
THAT YOU KNOW I KNOW BABY WE HAVE TO LET IT GO

SOMEDAY WE`LL BE SORRY; SOMEDAY WE WILL SEE
THAT PHIL COLLINS IS COOLER THAN PETER WILL EVER BE
TAKING TEN YEARS FOR A BORING SONG, THAT JUST AIN`T PHILS THING
IT`S BETTER TO DO NOTHING THAN DOING SHOWS WITH STING
