I Know What I Like (In Your Wardrobe) Lyrics

Artist: Genesis
Album: Selling England By The Pound

It's one o'clock and time for lunch,
When the sun beats down and I lie on the bench,
I can always hear them talk.

There's always been Ethel:
"Jacob, wake up! You've got to tidy your room now."
And then Mister Lewis:
"Isn't it time that he was out on his own?"
Over the garden wall, two little lovebirds - cuckoo to you!
Keep them moving blades sharp...

I know what I like, and I like what I know;
getting better in your wardrobe, stepping one beyond your show.

Sunday night, Mr Farmer called, said:
"Listen son, you're wasting your time; there's a future for you
in the fire escape trade. Come up to town!"
But I remebered a voice from the past;
"Gambling only plays when you're winning"
- I had to thank old Miss Mort for schooling a failure.
Keep them moving blades sharp...

I know what I like, and I like what I know;
getting better in your wardrobe, stepping one beyond your show.

When the sun beats down and I lie on the bench,
I can always hear them talk.
Me, I'm just a lawnmower - you can tell me by the way I walk.

Comment in Spanish: �Aguante esta canci�n tanto en su versi�n original como la de Seconds Out! En la de Seconds Out me encanta c�mo mezclan partes de varias canciones (por ejemplo con Stagnation).

this song speaks to me on so many levels. the symbolism is just so deep and it shows the contrast and chaos in society. wow. just outstanding.
