The Musical Box
"The Musical Box" es una de las canciones más famosas de la banda inglesa de rock progresivo Genesis. Fue lanzada en el tercer álbum del grupo, "Nursery Cryme" del año 1971.
En las representaciones en vivo de la canción, en la sección final Peter Gabriel solía volver al escenario con la máscara de un hombre anciano, actuaba libidinosamente y hacía movimientos obscenos junto al micrófono, mientras se bajaba el cierre del pecho del traje negro que llevaba. Luces parpadeantes se usarían cada vez que gritaba Touch me, NOW, NOW, NOW, NOW!, y al final de la canción, el viejo Henry muere.
Play me old king cole
that i may join with you,
all your hearts now seem so far from me
it hardly seems to matter now.
And the nurse will tell you lies
of a kingdom beyond the skies.
but i am lost within this half-world,
it hardly seems to matter now.
Play me my song.
here it comes again.
play me my song.
here it comes again.
Just a little bit,
just a little bit more time,
time left to live out my life.
Play me my song.
here it comes again.
play me my song.
here it comes again.
Old king cole was a merry old soul,
and a merry old soul was he.
so he called for his pipe,
and he called for his bowl,
and he called for his fiddlers three.
But the clock, tick-tock,
on the mantlepiece -
and i want, and i feel, and i know, and i touch,
the wall!
She's a lady, she's got time,
brush back your hair, and let me get to know your face.
she's a lady, she is mine.
brush back your hair, and let me get to know your flesh.
I've been waiting here for so long
and all this time has passed me by
it doesn't seem to matter now
you stand there with your fixed expression
casting doubt on all i have to say.
why don't you touch me, touch me,
why don't you touch me, touch me,
touch me now, now, now, now, now...
that i may join with you,
all your hearts now seem so far from me
it hardly seems to matter now.
And the nurse will tell you lies
of a kingdom beyond the skies.
but i am lost within this half-world,
it hardly seems to matter now.

More Fool Me
Y ahí estas tu
completamente segura, de que tenias razon
sabiendo perfectamente
que yo seria el primero en hundirme.

Here am I
Who while away the mornings
Since you've gone
Too long have I lain alone
Not knowing which way to turn.
And there you are
Quite sure that you were right
Knowing full well
That I'd be the first one
To go down.
And you'd be the one who was laughing
Except when things weren't going your way
And then the lady would say that she'd had enough
Wandering around on her own.
The day you left
Well I think you knew you'd not be back
Well at least it would seem that way
Because you never said goodbye.
But when it comes round to you and me
I'm sure it will work out alright.
And you'd be the one who was laughing
And giving me something I don't need
And you know, I'd always hold you and keep you warm
Oh! more fool me.
But when it comes
Round to you and me
I ask myself
Do I really believe
In your love.
And yes, I'm sure it will work out alright.

La canción fue escrita por Phil Collins y Mike Rutherford mientras se encontraban en los estudios Island, convirtiéndose en la única canción cantada por Phil Collins durante la gira de Selling England by the Pound, dándole a Gabriel un momento de descanso en los conciertos y a Collins sus primeras experiencias con el público.
