Happy 55th Birthday Peter,

I hope your not part working towards Freedom 55, because that would be it then, eh?

May you have many, more in health and happiness.

vi. APOCALYPSE IN 9/8 (CO-STARRING THE DELICIOUS TALENTS OF GABBLE RATCHET)

With the guards of Magog, swarming around,

The Pied Piper takes his children underground.

Dragon's coming out of the sea,

Shimmering silver head of wisdom looking at me.

He brings down the fire from the skies,

You can tell he's doing well by the look in human eyes.

Better not compromise.

It won't be easy.

666 is no longer alone,

He's getting out the marrow in your backbone,

And the seven trumpets blowing sweet rock and roll,

Gonna blow right down inside your soul.

Pythagoras with the looking-glass, reflect the full moon,

In blood, he's writing the lyrics of a brand new tune.

And its hey babe, with your guardian eyes so blue,

Hey my baby, don't you know our love is true,

I've been so far from here,

Far from your loving arms,

Now I'm back again, and baby it's going to work out fine.

Excerpt from song "Supper's Ready", from Genesis' 1972 album "Foxtrot".
