Twilight Alehouse (1972-09-25: Sounds Of The Seventies, BBC, London, UK) Songtext
von Genesis

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 help, ooh, I 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...
