Many Too Many Lyrics

Lyric discussion by Philnic 

Cover art for Many Too Many lyrics by Genesis

To me, this is a complete heartbreak song. Written from the point of view of being totally committed to a relationship only to have the ground removed and feeling totally lost. You said good-bye on a corner That I thought led to the straight You set me on a firmly laid and simple course Then removed the road. We had everything and I was totally committed to the world we had created together, then you threw it away. In the empty and lost state of mind, I return to a childlike state of wanting mother to make it better. Please help me find the key. And a cry of pain for the betrayal... how could I be so blind?
