[QUOTE="wkmac, post: 633210, member: 2189"] pkgrunner, Did you know Tull played American Bandstand? Yep, after recording Stand Up (Before Aqualung) they played for Dick! When I saw Tull in 71' a roadie had this T-shirt on that said Genesis and it finally got the better of me so I asked if it was some religious statement. He told me no but it was a new band out of England that he had worked with who were really good. We talked a bit more and just by chance the Genesis song The Knife from their album Trespass was on the tape they were playing through the house sound before the concert. I was immediately hooked and probably of that period, Genesis was my favorite band and in many respects always has been at least from that period through Wind and Wurthering. As lyrics go, Peter Gabriel was influenced at how violent revolutions intended for good always just go bad and the lyrics are to that message. With that, I give you, The Knife! Tell me my life is about to begin Tell me that I am a hero, Promise me all of your violent dreams Light up your body with anger. Now, in this ugly world it is time to destroy all this evil. Now, when I give the word get ready to fight for your freedom Now - Stand up and fight, for you know we are right We must strike at the lies That have spread like disease through our minds. Soon we'll have power, every soldier will rest And we'll spread out our kindness To all who our love now deserve. Some of you are going to die - Martyrs of course to the freedom that I shall provide. I'll give you the names of those you must kill, All must die with their children. Carry their heads to the palace of old, Hang them high, let the blood flow. Now, in this ugly world break all the chains around us, Now, the crusade has begun give us a land fit for heroes, Now - Stand up and fight, for you know we are right We must strike at the lies That have spread like disease through our minds. Soon we'll have power, every soldier will rest And we'll spread out our kindness To all who our love now deserve. Some of you are going to die - Martyrs of course to the freedom that I shall provide. We are only wanting freedom We are only wanting freedom We are only wanting freedom We are only wanting freedom ("Freedom, freedom, freedom, freedom...") We are only wanting freedom ("Things are getting out of control here today") We are only wanting freedom ("OK men - fire over their heads!") We are only wanting freedom --- WE HAVE WON --- Some of you are going to die, Martyrs of course to the freedom that I shall provide. Perfect headbanging tempo! :happy-very::happy-very::happy-very: :punk: [/QUOTE]
