| Genesis – Watcher Of The Skies Lyrics | 18 years ago |
|
Based on the story Rescue Party by Arthur C. Clarke. In the story, aliens come to earth, a planet they didn't know had intelligent life, a few hours before the sun is about to explode to try to save as many humans as possible. They find no humans but the empty cities they created. (Creatures shaped this planet's soil, Now their reign has come to an end,) They eventually find that humanity escaped on rockets, amazed that a race they didn't know about dared to attempt space travel. (For though your ship be sturdy, no Mercy has the sea) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rescue_Party_%28short_story%29 |

I've heard the hitman idea too, but I think the line "Keep running keep running, city to city, even if you're innocent" disproves this. It suggests that most people would think he wouldn't run if he was innocent. If a hitman were after someone, they wouldn't care about innocence, they're gonna kill you regardless. Because this "can cause to much embarrassment" it makes me think he's running away from a trial. That would make the narrator something like Dick Tracy, a cop (the fugitive) or a bail bondsman. |

| ^Not until the very end. Most of it's just a good ol' fashioned cops and robbers story. | |
| Supertramp – Bloody Well Right Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| I get the feeling this is about Catcher in the Rye. Holden thinks everything's phoney, especially the rich alumni that always donates and comes to his school. The entire book actually is him writing down his problems in detail. | |
| Genesis – Riding The Scree Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| Right after Rael's choice to save his drowning brother or return home, he makes his decision and dives right in, leading to the climax of the story. | |
| Genesis – The Lady Lies Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| A knight saves the "maiden fair", however in this case its just a demon disguised as a beautiful woman. When he takes her home she begs him to come inside with her, saying she's lonely and whatnot. He knows something isn't quite right, but eventually, to be blunt, his dick overpowers his brain and he goes inside and never comes back out. | |

| Having a very shitty day, getting drunk, and walking home? | |
| Defiance, Ohio – Oh, Susquehanna! Lyrics | 18 years ago |

This song seems pretty self explanatory from the lyrics. I don't know the singers names, but the male and female singer both lived out in the country where there was just a big cemetary. When the male was younger he wanted to go to the store, and said that the strip malls and harbor cities seemed exiting. The female always liked the woods or whatever the area around her house was like where she could hike. When they both return when they're older they find the area has become suburbs. The female of course hates this neighborhood. The houses are all exactly the same and the fields and streams are gone. Even though its always what the male wanted, when he was younger, he realizes now that its not as exiting as he thought, refering to it as a "blight" As for what happened to the bodies, once the land was bought and turned into suburbs, the cemetary, just like the "fields and streams and woods" was paved over. The bodies all had to be dug up and moved so that houses could be built where they used to be. Wondering what they did with the bodies is exactly what anyone would think if they return to their hometown and find a cemetary gone. |

| Genesis – Los Endos Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| The best part of this song isn't the lyrics but the music, which are segments from each song from A Trick of the Tail. It's a great way to wrap up the album. | |
