Family Snapshot
(专辑: Peter Gabriel 3: Melt - 1980)
The
streets are lined with camera crews Everywhere he goes is news Today is different, today is not the
same Today I
make the
action, take snapshot into the
light Snapshot into the
light, I'm shooting into the
light Four miles down the
cavalcade moves on Driving into the
sun If I
worked it out right, they won't see me or the
gun Two miles to go, they're clearing the
road And the
cheering has really begun I've got my radio, I
can hear what's going on I've been waiting for this I've been waiting for this All you people in TV land I
will wake up your empty shells Peak-time viewing blown in a
flash As I
burn into your memory cells 'Cause I'm alive They're coming around the
corner with the
bikers at the
front I'm wiping the
sweat from my eyes It's a
matter of time, a
matter of will And the
governor's car is not far behind, he's not the
one I've got in mind 'Cause there he is, the
man of the
hour, standing in the
limousine I
don't really hate you, I
don't care what you do We were made for each other, me and you I
want to be somebody, you were like that too If you don't get given you learn to take And I
will take you Holding my breath Release the
catch And I
let the
bullet fly All turned quiet, I
have been here before A
lonely boy hiding behind the
front door Friends have all gone home There's my toy gun on the
floor Come back, Mum and Dad You're growing apart, you know that I'm growing up sad I
need some attention I
shoot into the
light
