Ok, so I'm listening to Genesis, and some of these lyrics are pretty twisted!! These are from a song called The Return of the Giant Hogweed! Turn and Run, Nothing can stop them, Around every river and canal their power is growing. Stamp them out, We must destroy them. They infiltrate each city with their thick dark warning odour. They are invincible, They seem immune to all our herbicidal battering. Long ago in the Russian hills, A Victorian explorer found the regal Hogweed by a marsh, He captured it and brought it home. Botanical creature stirs, seeking revenge. Royal beast did not forget. He came home to London, And made a present to the Hogweed to the Royal Gardens at Kew. Waste no time, They are approaching. Hurry now, we must protect ourselves and find some shelter. Strike by night, They are defenseless. They all need the sun to photosensitize their venom. Still they're invincible, Still they're immune to all our herbicidal battering. Fashionable country gentlement had some cultivated wild gardens, In which they innocently planted the Giant Hogweed throughout the land. Botanical creature stirs, seeking revenge. Royal beast did not forget. Soon they escaped, spreading their seed, preparing for an onslaught, threatening the human race. Mighty Hogweed is avenged. Human bodies soon will know anger. Kill them with your Hogweed hairs HERACLEUM MANTEGAZZIANI Giant Hogweed Lives! |

Us and Them (Waters, Wright) 7:40 Us, and them And after all we're only ordinary men. Me, and you. God only knows it's noz what we would choose to do. Forward he cried from the rear and the front rank died. And the general sat and the lines on the map moved from side to side. Black and blue And who knows which is which and who is who. Up and down. But in the end it's only round and round. Haven't you heard it's a battle of words The poster bearer cried. Listen son, said the man with the gun There's room for you inside. "I mean, they're not gunna kill ya, so if you give 'em a quick short, sharp, shock, they won't do it again. Dig it? I mean he get off lightly, 'cos I would've given him a thrashing - I only hit him once! It was only a difference of opinion, but really...I mean good manners don't cost nothing do they, eh?" Down and out It can't be helped but there's a lot of it about. With, without. And who'll deny it's what the fighting's all about? Out of the way, it's a busy day I've got things on my mind. For the want of the price of tea and a slice The old man died. (Seems apporpos for the times...) :) |

I'm not a big prog rock fan, but my friend who is, loves these lyrics by Rush. "Witch Hunt" The night is black Without a moon The air is thick and still The vigilantes gather on The lonely torch lit hill Features distorted in the flickering light The faces are twisted and grotesque Silent and stern in the sweltering night The mob moves like demons possessed Quiet in conscience, calm in their right Confident their ways are best The righteous rise With burning eyes Of hatred and ill-will Madmen fed on fear and lies To beat and burn and kill They say there are strangers who threaten us In our immigrants and infidels They say there is strangeness too dangerous In our theaters and bookstore shelves That those who know what's best for us Must rise and save us from ourselves Quick to judge Quick to anger Slow to understand Ignorance and prejudice And fear walk hand in hand... |

Funkmaster, you're Patrick Bateman aren't you? |

Any dreamtheatre or queensryche or rush track. They are all overly pretentious. You take too much trouble transcribing Genesis lyrics, Funkmaster. |

genesis is now progressive rock? *makes puzzled expression on face* last time I checked it was just good solid pop music |

Genesis only went pop when Phil Collins took over... listen to some Peter Gabriel Genesis from the 70's, and even the first two albums of theirs with Phil Collins at the lead and it's prog rock... |
