Big Time
In Your Eyes
Sledgehammer
Shock The Monkey
Shaking The Tree
Suc cess
I'm on my way, I'm making it
I've giot to make it show,
yeah
So much larger than life
I'm going to watch it growing
The place where I
come from is a small town
They think so small
They use small words
-but not
me
I'm smarter than that
I worked it out
I've been stretching my mouth
To let
those big words come right out
I've had enough, I'm getting out
To the city, the
big big city
I'll be a big noise with all the big boys
There's so much stuff I will
own
And I will pray to a big god
As I kneel in the big church
Big time
I'm
on my way-I'm making it
Big time big time
I've got to make it show yeah
Big time
big time
So much larger than life
Big time
I'm going to watch it growing
Big
time
My parties all have big names
And I greet them with the widest smile
Tell
them how my life is one big adventure^
And always they're amazed
When I show them
round my house, to my bed
I had it made like a mountain range
With a snow-white
pillow for my big fat head
And my heaven will be a big heaven
And I will walk through
the front door
Big time
I'm on my way-I'm making it
Big time big time
I've
got to make it show-yeah
Big time big time
So much larger than life
I'm going to
watch it growing
Big time big time
My car is getting bigger
Big time
My house
is getting bigger
Big time
My eyes are getting bigger
Big time
And my
mouth
Big time
My belly is getting bigger
Big time
And my bank account
Big
time
Look at my circumstance
Big time
And the bulge in my big big big big big big
big
Peter Gabriel Lyrics
Accepting all I've done and said
I want to stand and stare again
Til
there's nothing left out, oh
It remains there in your eyes
Whatever comes and
goes
I will hear your silent call
I will touch this tender wall
Til I know I'm
home again
Ooh
In your eyes (in your eyes)
In your eyes (in your eyes)
In
your eyes (in your eyes)
In your eyes
Love I get so lost, sometimes
Days pass
and this emptiness fills my heart
When I want to run away
I drive off in my
car
But whichever way I go
I come back to the place you are
And all my
instincts, they return
And the grand facade, so soon will burn
Without a noise,
without my pride
I reach out from the inside
In your eyes
The light the
heat
In your eyes
I am complete
In your eyes
I see the doorway (in your eyes)
to a thousand churches
In your eyes
The resolution (in your eyes) of all the
fruitless searches
In your eyes
I see the light and the heat
In your eyes
Oh, I
want to be that complete
I want to touch the light
The heat I see in your
eyes
In your eyes
In your eyes
Love, I don't like to see so much
pain
So much wasted and this moment keeps slipping away
I get so tired of working so
hard for our survival
I look to the time with you to keep me awake and alive
And
all my instincts, they return
And the grand facade, so soon will burn
Without a
noise, without my pride
I reach out from the inside
In your eyes
The light the
heat
In your eyes
I am complete
In your eyes
I see the doorway (in your eyes)
to a thousand churches
In your eyes
The resolution (in your eyes) of all the
fruitless searches
In your eyes
I see the light and the heat
In your eyes
Oh, I
want to be that complete
I want to touch the light
The heat I see in your
eyes
In your eyes
In your eyes
In your eyes
Accepting all I've done and
said
I want to stand and stare again
Til there's nothing left out, oh
It remains
there in your eyes
Whatever comes and goes
Oh it's in your eyes
In your
eyes
In your eyes
In your eyes
In your eyes
In your eyes
In your eyes
In
your eyes
In your eyes
I want to stand and stare again
Oh, it's in your
eyes.
Peter Gabriel Lyrics
You could have a steam train
If you'd just lay down your tracks
You
could have an aeroplane flying
If you bring your blue sky back
All you do is call
me
I'll be anything you need
You could have a big dipper
Going up and down,
all around the bends
You could have a bumper car, bumping
This amusement never
ends
I want to be your sledgehammer
Why don't you call my name
Oh let me be
your sledgehammer
This will be my testimony
Show me round your fruitcage
'cos I
will be your honey bee
Open up your fruitcage
Where the fruit is as sweet as can
be
I want to be your sledgehammer
Why don't you call my name
You'd better call
the sledgehammer
Put your mind at rest
I'm going to be-the sledgehammer
This can
be my testimony
I'm your sledgehammer
Let there be no doubt about it
Sledge
sledge sledgehammer
I've kicked the habit
Shed my skin
This is the new
stuff
I go dancing in, we go dancing in
Oh won't you show for me
And I will show
for you
Show for me, I will show for you
Yea, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I do mean
you
Only you
You've been coming through
Going to build that power
Build, build
up that power, hey
I've been feeding the rhythm
I've been feeding the rhythm
Going
to feel that power, build in you
Come on, come on, help me do
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, you
I've been feeding the rhythm
I've been feeding the
rhythm
It's what we're doing, doing
All day and night
Peter Gabriel Lyrics
Shock the monkey to life
Shock the monkey to life
Cover me when I
run
Cover me through the fire
Something knocked me out' the trees
Now I'm on my
knees
Cover me, darling please
Monkey, monkey, monkey
Don't you know when you're
going to shock the monkey
Fox the fox
Rat the rat
You can ape the ape
I
know about that
There is one thing you must be sure of
I can't take any
more
Darling, don't you monkey with the monkey
Monkey, monkey, monkey
Don't you
know you're going to shock the monkey
Wheels keep turning
Something's
burning
Don't like it but I guess I'm learning
Shock! - watch the monkey get
hurt, monkey
Cover me, when I sleep
Cover me, when I breathe
You throw your
pearls before the swine
Make the monkey blind
Cover me, darling please
Monkey,
monkey, monkey
Don't you know you're going to shock the monkey
Too much at
stake
Ground beneath me shake
And the news is breaking
Shock! - watch the
monkey get hurt, monkey
Shock the monkey
Shock the monkey
Shock the monkey to
life
Peter Gabriel Lyrics
Souma yergon, sou nou yergon, we are shakin' the tree
Souma yergon, sou
nou yergon, we are shakin' the tree
Waiting your time, dreaming of a better
life
Waiting your time, you're more than just a wife
You don't want to do what your
mother has done
She has done
This is your life, this new life has begun
It's your
day - a woman's day
It's your day - a woman's day
Turning the tide, you are on
the incoming wave
Turning the tide, you know you are nobody's slave
[ 1989 version -
find your brothers and sisters ]
[ 1990 version - find your sisters and brothers ]
Who can hear all the truth in what you say
They can support you when you're on your
way
It's your day - a woman's day
It's your day - a woman's day
Souma yergon,
sou nou yergon, we are shakin' the tree
Souma yergon, sou nou yergon, we are shakin' the
tree
Souma yergon, sou nou yergon, we are shakin' the tree
[ extra lyrics from
1989 12 remix ]
There's nothing to gain when there's nothing to be lost
There's
nothing to gain if you stay behind and count the cost
Make the decision that you can be
who you can be
You can be
Tasting the fruit come to the liberty tree
It's your day
- a woman's day
It's your day - a woman's day
[ end of extra lyrics from 12 remix
]
Changing your ways, changing those surrounding you
Changing your ways, more
than any man can do
Open your heart, show him the anger and pain, so you heal
Maybe
he's looking for his womanly side, let him feel
You had to be so strong
And you
do nothing wrong
Nothing wrong at all
We're gonna to break it down
We have to
shake it down
Shake it all around
Souma yergon, sou nou yergon, we are shakin'
the tree
Souma yergon, sou nou yergon, we are shakin' the tree
Souma yergon, sou nou
yergon, we are shakin' the tree
