Genesis : I Know What I Like
Lyrics
1. I KNOW WHAT I LIKE
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 Mr. 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, stepping one beyond your show
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
2. TWILIGHT ALEHOUSE
Is it really true what they’re saying
Are you really sure there’s nobody come for me
When I’m walking home there is no-one
Once there was a house, full of laughter - so warm
Trying to pretend there is someone
Someone who will care when I need it
I will now receive my comfort, conjured by the magic power of wine
Just a drink, I’ll get that drink, and I’m feeling good
Just a drink, I’ll get that drink, and I’m feeling fine
Just a drink to take my sorrow
Just a drink and you can blast tomorrow
Just a drink to make me feel like a man again
Now I’m down
When I walk outside, there is nowhere
Children follow me, with their laughter - so cold...
Casting just a glance at the churchyard
Casting just a glance, at my painted female friend.
Now I’m on my way, I am falling
Got to find some ’elp, ooh I will need that now
So I will receive my comfort, conjured by the magic power of wine
Just a drink, I’ll get that drink, and I’m feeling good
Just a drink, I’ll get that drink, and I’m feeling fine
Just a drink to take my sorrow
Just a drink and you can blast tomorrow
Just a drink to make me feel like a man again
Now I’m down...
I will now receive my comfort, conjured by the magic power of wine
Just a drink, I’ll get that drink, and I’m feeling good
Just a drink, I’ll get that drink, and I’m feeling fine
Just a drink to take my sorrow
Just a drink and you can blast tomorrow, now...
