Genesis - That's All

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, and you'd say night
tell 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
I can't feel a thing from my head down to my toes
but why does it always seem to be
me looking at you, you looking at me
it'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

I could leave but I won't go
well it'd be easier I know
I can't feel a thing from my head down to my toes
why does it always seem to be
me looking at you, you looking at me
it's always the same, it's just a shame, that's all

Truth is 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 till the end

I could leave but I won't go
it'd be easier I know
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
it's always the same, it's just a shame, that's all

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 till the end

But just as I thought it was going alright
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
Well I could say day, and you'd say night
tell me it's black when I know that it's white
it's always the same, it's just a shame, that's all

Genesis - No Son Of Mine

The key to my survival
Wwas never in much doubt
The question was how I could keep sane
Trying to find a way out
Things were never easy for me
Peace of mind was hard to find
And I needed a place where I could hide
Somewhere I could call mine

I didn't think much about it
Til it started happening all the time
Soon I was living with the fear everyday
Of what might happen at night
I couldn't stand to hear the
Crying of my mother
And I remember when
I swore that, that would be the
Last they'd see of me
And I never went home again

They say time is a healer
And new my wounds are not the same
I rang the bell with my heart in my mouth
I had to hear what he'd say
He sat me down to talk to me
He looked me straght in the eyes
He said:

You're no son, you're no son of mine
You're no son, you're no son of mine
You walked out, you left us behind
And you're no son, you're no son of mine
Oh, his words how they hurt me, I'll never forget it
And as the time, it went by, I lived to regret it
You're no son, you're no son of mine
But where should I go and what should I do
You're no son, you're no son of mine
But I came here for help, I came here for you

Well the years they passed slowly
I thought about him everyday
What would I do, if we passed on the street
Would I keep running away
In and out of hiding places
Soon I'd have to face the facts
We'd have to sit down and talk it over
And that would mean going back

They say time is a healer
And now my wounds are not the same
I rang the bell with my heart in my mouth
I had to hear what he'd say
He sat me down to talk to me
He looked me straght in the eyes
He said:

You're no son, you're no son of mine
You're no son, you're no son of mine
You walked out, you left us behind
And you're no son, you're no son of mine
Oh, his words how they hurt me, I'll never forget it
And as the time, it went by, I lived to regret it
You're no son, you're no son of mine
But where should I go and what should I do
You're no son, you're no son of mine
But I came here for help, I came here for you

Genesis - Invisible touch

Well I’ve been waiting, waiting here so long
But thinking nothing, no no nothing could go wrong
But now I know
She’s got a built in ability
To take everything she sees
And now it seems I’m falling, falling for her

She seems to have an invisible touch yeah
She reaches in, she grabs right hold of your heart
She seems to have an invisible touch yeah
She takes control and slowly tears you apart

I don’t really know her, I only know her name
But she crawls under your skin, you’re never quite the same
And now I know
She’s got something you just can’t trust
It’s something mysterious
And now it seems I’m falling, falling for her

She seems to have an invisible touch yeah
She reaches in, she grabs right hold of your heart
She seems to have an invisible touch yeah
It takes control and slowly tears you apart

She don’t like losing, to her it’s still a game
Though she’ll mess up your life, you’ll want her just the same
Now I know
She’s got a built in ability
To touch everything she sees
And now it seems I’m falling, falling for her

She seems to have an invisible touch yeah
She reaches in, she grabs right hold of your heart
She seems to have an invisible touch yeah
It takes control and slowly tears you apart

Genesis - Land of confusion

I must have dreamed a thousand dreams,
been hunted by a million screams.
I can hear the marching feet,
they're moving into the street.

Now did you read the news today ?
They say the danger's gone away.
But I can see the fire's still alight
burning into the night.

There's too many men, too many people
making too many problems,
and not much love to go around.
Can't you see, this is a land
of confusion ?

This is the world we live in,
and these are the hands we're given.
Use them and let's start trying
to make it a place worth living in.

Superman, where are you now,
when everything's gone wrong somehow ?
The man of steel, men of power
are losing control by the hour.

This is the time, this is the place.
So we look for the future.
But there's not much love to go around.
Tell me why this is a land
of confusion ?

This is the world we live in,
and these are the hands we're given.
Use them and let's start trying
to make it a place worth living in.

I remember long ago when the sun was shining,
the stars were bright all through the night,
and the sound of your laughter
as I held you tight, so long ago.

I won't be coming home tonight.
My generation will put it right.
We're not just making promises
that we know we'll never keep.

Too many men, too many people
making too many problems,
and not much love to go around.
Can't you see, this is a land
of confusion ?

This is the world we live in,
and these are the hands we're given.
Use them and let's start trying
to make it a place worth fighting for.

This is a world we live in,
and these are the names we're given.
Stand up and let's start showing
just where our lives are going to.-
