Lyrics for Song: Willow Farm
Lyrics for Album: Other Songs - Genesis
If you go down to Willow Farm,
to look for butterflies, flutterbyes, gutterflies
Open your eyes, it's full of surprise, everyone lies,
like the focks on the rocks,
and the musical box.
Oh, there's Mum & Dad, and good and bad,
and everyone's happy to be here.
There's Winston Churchill dressed in drag,
he used to be a British flag, plastic bag, what a drag.
The frog was a prince, the prince was a brick, the brick was an
egg,
the egg was a bird.
(Fly away you sweet little thing, they're hard on your tail)
Hadn't you heard?
(They're going to change you into a human being!)
Yes, we're happy as fish and gorgeous as geese,
and wonderfully clean in the morning.
We've got everything, we're growing everything,
We've got some in
We've got some out
We've got some wild things floating about
Everyone, we're changing everyone,
you name them all,
We've had them here,
And the real stars are still to appear.
ALL CHANGE!
Feel your body melt;
Mum to mud to mad to dad
Dad diddley office, Dad diddley office,
You're all full of ball.
Dad to dam to dum to mum
Mum diddley washing, Mum diddley washing,
You're all full of ball.
Let me hear you lies, we're living this up to the eyes.
Ooee-ooee-ooee-oowaa
Momma I want you now.
And as you listen to my voice
To look for hidden doors, tidy floors, more applause.
You've been here all the time,
Like it or not, like what you got,
You're under the soil (the soil, the soil),
Yes, deep in the soil (the soil, the soil, the soil!).
So we'll end with a whistle and end with a bang
and all of us fit in our places.

Willow Farm
Willow Farm is a haunting track by Genesis, originally recorded in 1972 and released on the band's second studio album, Nearing the Light. The song features the distinctive vocal style of Peter Gabriel, who would later become a solo superstar, showcasing his ethereal and atmospheric approach to rock music. With its minimalist composition and haunting melody, the track exemplifies the progressive rock genre that defined Genesis during this era. It remains a significant piece in the band's discography, often cited as a precursor to their later experimental sound. The song's enduring appeal lies in its ability to evoke a sense of mystery and introspection, making it a staple for fans of classic rock and progressive music. |
