I don't believe it! Most of you probably haven't heard of them but Genesis is one of my all-time favorite bands! They disbanned nearly 10 years ago and there was really no hope of them ever coming back but I kept on wishing that they would and someone obviously granted my wishes. The will announce next month when their new album will come out and the start of their 2007 major world tour. I hope they come to my town!

Here are some of my favorite Genesis songs:
Entangled (by Genesis)
When youre asleep they may show you
Aerial views of the ground,
Freudian slumber empty of sound.
Over the rooftops and houses,
Lost as it tries to be seen,
Fields of incentive covered with green.
Mesmerised children are playing,
Meant to be seen but not heard,
Stop me from dreaming!
Dont be absurd!
[Chorus:]
Well if we can help you we will,
Youre looking tired and ill.
As I count backwards
Your eyes become heavier still.
Sleep, wont you allow yourself fall?
Nothing can hurt you at all.
With your consent
I can experiment further still.
Madrigal music is playing,
Voices can faintly be heard,
Please leave this patient undisturbed.
Sentenced to drift far away now,
Nothing is quite what it seems,
Sometimes entangled in your own dreams.
[Chorus:]
Well, if we can help you we will,
Soon as youre tired and ill.
With your consent
We can experiment further still.
Well, thanks to our kindness and skill
Youll have no trouble until
You catch your breath
And the nurse will present you the bill!
Harlequin (by Genesis)
Came the night a mist dissolved the trees
And in the broken light colours fly, fading by.
Pale and cold as figures fill the glade
Grey is the web they spin, on and on, and on and on.
Through the flame still summer lingers on
Though her pictures soon shatter.
[Chorus:]
All, always the same.
But there appears in the shades of dawning,
Though your eyes are dim,
All of the pieces in the sky.
There was once a harvest in this land.
Reap from the turquoise sky, harlequin, harlequin,
Dancing round, three children fill the glade,
Theirs was the laughter in the winding stream, and in between.
Close your door, the picture fades again
From the flames in the firelight.
[Chorus:]
All, always the same,
But there appears in the shades of dawning,
Though your eyes are dim,
All of the pieces in the sky.
[Chorus 2:]
All, all is not lost,
And light appears in the shades of dawning
When your eyes can see
Order the pieces, put them back, put them back.
Snowbound (by Genesis)
Lay your body down upon the midnight snow,
Feel the cold of winter in your hair
Here in a world of your own,
In a casing thats grown
To a childrens delight
That arrived overnight.
And here they come to play their magic games
Carving names upon your frozen hand.
Here in a world of your own,
Like a sleeper whose eyes
Sees the pain with surprise
As it smothers your cries
Theyll never never know.
[Chorus:]
Hey theres a snowman
Hey, hey what a snowman
Pray for the snowman
Ooh, ooh what a snowman
They say a snow years a good year
Filled with the love of all who lie so deep.
Smiling faces tear your body to the ground
Covered red that only we can see.
Here in a ball that they made
From the snow on the ground,
See it rolling away
Wild eyes to the sky
Theyll never, never know.
[Chorus:]
Hey theres a snowman
Hey what a snowman
Pray for the snowman
Ooh, ooh what a snowman
They say a snow years a good year
Filled with the love of all who lie so deep.
Hey there goes the snowman
Hey there what a snowman
Hey there lies the snowman
Hey he was a snowman
They say a snow years a good year
Filled with the love of all who lie so deep.
Your Own Special Way (by Genesis)
Go far enough and you will reach,
A place where the sea runs underneath.
We'll see our shadow, high in the sky,
Dying away in the night.
I've sailed the world for seven years,
And left all i love behind in tears.
Oh, won't you come here, wherever you are,
I've been all alone long enough.
[Chorus:]
You, you have your own special way,
Of holding my hand keep it way 'bove the water,
Don't ever let go - oh no, no, no.
You, you have your own special way,
Of turning the world so it's facing
The way that i'm going. don't ever
Don't ever stop.
Whose seen the wind not you or i,
But when the ship moves she's passing by.
Between you and me i really don't think,
She knows where she's going at all.
[Chorus:]
You, you have your own special way,
Of carrying me twice round the world
Never closer to home than the day,
The day i started.
You, you have your own special way,
Hold onto my hand keep it way 'bove the water,
Don't ever let go no, no, no.
What mean the dreams night after night.
The man in the moon's a blinding light.
Won't you come out whoever you are,
You've followed me quiet long enough.
[Chorus:]
You, you have your own special way,
Of holding my hand, don't ever let go.
You, you have your own special way,
Of turning the world so it's facing
The way that i'm going, don't ever,
Don't ever leave me.
Vision Of Angels (by Genesis)
Standing in a forest gazing at the sun
Looking at the trees but theres not even one
See a rippling stream that smiles and then goes by
Run to feel its comfort but the waters dry.
I see her face and run to take her hand
Whey shes never there I dont understand
The trumpets sound my whole world crumbles down
[Chorus:]
Visions of angels all around
Dance in the sky
Leaving me here
Forever goodbye.
As the leaves will crumble so will fall my love
For the fragile beauty of our lives must fade
Though I once remember echoes of my youth
Now I sense no past, no love that ends in love
Take this dream the stars have filled with light
As the blossom glides like snowflakes from the trees
In vengeance to a God no-one can reach.
[Chorus:]
Visions of angels all around
Dance in the sky
Leaving me here
Forever goodbye.
Ice is moving and worlds begun to freeze
See the sunlight stopped and deadened by the breeze
Minds are empty bodies move insensitive
Some believe that when they die they really live
I believe there never is an end
God gave up this world its people long ago
Why shes never there I still dont understand
[Chorus:]
Visions of angels all around
Dance in the sky
Leaving me here
Forever goodbye.
Visions of angels all around
Dance in the sky
Leaving me here
Forever goodbye.
See ya!
