Rick N. Backer Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 The correct answer is Cats in the Cradle. Period. /thread.Disagree. Think Taxi by him is better. JMO of course. It’s a great song. The storyline isn’t terribly unique stripped of its specifics. Two former young lovers meeting later in life. CitC on the other hand is a story that resonates with every father and son I’d bet. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rutlefan Posted April 23, 2019 Author Share Posted April 23, 2019 (edited) Genesis -- Keep it Dark. My favorite Genesis tune. Found that man reported missing,He wandered in his home.It don't seem to bad if you considerJust what he's been through. Seems he met up with a gang of thieves,Who mistook him for a man of means,They locked him up then found he had no money,So they let him go again.Now he's back at home and happyJust to see the kids. I wish that I could really tell youAll the things that happened to meAnd all that I have seen.A world full of people their hearts full of joy,Cities of light with no fear of war,And thousands of creatures with happier lives,And dreams of a future with meaning and no need to hide.Oh, keep it dark. It seems strange to have to lie,About a world so bright.And tell instead a made-up story,From the world of night. I wish… Edited April 23, 2019 by Rutlefan 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rutlefan Posted April 23, 2019 Author Share Posted April 23, 2019 (edited) Big Country - Come Back to Me. My favorite "anti-war" song. Stuart Adamson's best songs are his darker songs, touched with sadness (protest, anger, tragedy,...). RIP. The day they had a partyRight out in the streetFlags and flowers and singingFor the homecome hero's treatI sat in the kitchenWithout a fire on the rangeI knew this house had lost the causeTo ever make me warm again Come back to meDays are all too longCome back to meYou never should have goneI was so young and full of prideAnd you were wild and strongI never knew how weak I was I watched them gather round himWhen he stepped down from the carWhile tears fell on my cigaretteHe handed out cigarsI have your child inside meBut you will never knowI never will forget youWhile I watch that child grow Come back to me... I was so young and full of pride(I never, I never, I never…)I will always be hereFading by the dayI will wash the bloody handsAnd cast the bowl awayAs the years hang on meYou will always be youngAnd one day I will lie downWhere the rose was thrown Come back to me...
