I Know What I Like (1973-10-09: Apollo Theatre, Glasgow, Scotland, UK) Songtext
von Genesis

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 Mister 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 your time; there′s a future for you
in the fire escape trade. Come up to town!"
But I remebered 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

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
