Squonk Lyrics - A Trick Of The Tail - Genesis

Like father like son 

Not flesh nor fish nor bone 

A red rag hangs from an open mouth. 

Alive at both ends but a little dead in the middle 

A-tumbling and a-bumbling he will go. 

All the King's horses and all the King's men 

Could never put a smile on that face. 

He's a shy one, he's a sly one 

Wouldn't you be too. 

Scared to be left all on his own. 

Hasn't a, hasn't a friend to play with, the Ugly Duckling 

The pressure on, the bubble will burst before our eyes. 

All the while in perfect time 

His tears are falling on the ground 

BUT IF YOU DON'T STAND UP YOU DON'T STAND A CHANCE.

NEW SONG: Blink-182 - 'Happy Days' Lyrics 

Go a little faster now, you might get there in time. 

Mirror mirror on the wall 

His heart was broken long before he ever came to you. 

Stop your tears from falling 

The trail they leave is very clear for all to see at night 

all to see at night. 

In season, out of season 

What's the difference when you don't know the reason. 

In one hand bread, the other a stone. 

The Hunter enters the forest. 

All are not huntsmen who can blow the huntsman's horn 

By the look of this one you've not got much to fear. 

Here I am, I'm very fierce and frightening 

Come to match my skill to yours. 

Now listen here, listen to me, don't you run away now 

I am a friend, I'd really like to play with you. 

Making noises my little furry friend would make 

I'll trick him, then I'll kick him into my sack. 

You better watch out... You better watch out. 

I've got you, I've got you, you'll never get away. 

Walking home that night 

The sack across my back, the sound of sobbing on my shoulder. 

When suddenly it stopped 

I opened up the sack, all that I had 

A pool of bubbles and tears - Just a pool of tears. 

All in all you are a very dying race 

Placing trust upon a cruel world. 

You never had the things you thought you should have had 

And you'll not get them now 

And all the while in perfect time 

Your tears are falling on the ground.
