  I'm coming down, coming down like a monkey  (Genesis) Monkey, monkey, monkey /  Don't you know you're gonna /  Shock the monkey (Peter Gabriel) We've got to get in to get out  (Genesis) So, take a look at me now  (Phil Collins) Pass the word, it's a call to arms  (Phil Collins) Teach the children quietly /  For some day sons and daughters /  Will rise up and fight while we stood still (Mike and the Mechanics)

I can feel it coming in the air tonight, oh lord (Phil Collins) Son, " he said /  "Grab your things, I've come to take you home"  (Peter Gabriel) You know I want to, but I'm in too deep  (Genesis) I will follow you will you follow me (Genesis) Why are you shaking like a leaf? /  Come on, come talk to me (Peter Gabriel) In our secret world we were colliding /  All the places we were hiding love /  What was it we were thinking of?  (Peter Gabriel) Don't give up /  You're not beaten yet /  Don't give up /  I know you can make it good  (Peter Gabriel) I thought you'd always be there /  I almost believed you  (Genesis) I think I caught his spirit /  Later that same year /  I'm sure I heard his echo /  In my baby's new born tears /  I just wish I could have told him /  In the living years  (Mike and the Mechanics)

Go instead where there is no path and leave a trail" (Ralph Waldo Emerson) "Everything that irritates us about others can lead us to an understanding of ourselves."
