Cover art for A Trick Of The Tail lyrics by Genesis

It's a wonderful rendition of the oft-told story of alienation ... the misfit ... the outsider. Does the beast truly have a "home", or is it just the desparate fantasy of a place of belonging? A true poet, Banks tells this trajic tale in characteristic Genesis fashion. Beautiful. As a whole, the album could be seen a series of views of Peter leaving, but that would be pure speculation.
