Steve Hackett - I Know What I Like Lyrics






It's one o'clock and time for lunch - dum dee dum dee dum
When the sun beats down and I lie on the bench
I can always hear them talk

There's always been Ethel:
"Jacob, wake up, you've got to tidy your room now"
And then Mr. Lewis:
"Isn't it time that he was out on his own"
Over the garden wall, two little love birds cuckoo to you
Keep them mowing blades sharp...

I know what I like
And I like what I know
Getting better in your wardrobe
Stepping one beyond your show

Sunday night, Mr. Farmer called, said:
"Listen son, you're wasting time
There's a future for you in the fire-escape trade
Come up to town"
But I remembered a voice from the past:
"Gambling only pays when you're winning"
I had to thank old Miss Mort for schooling a failure
Keep them mowing blades sharp...

I know what I like
And I like what I know
Getting better in your wardrobe
Stepping one beyond your show
I know what I like
And I like what I know
Getting better in your wardrobe
Stepping one beyond your show

When the sun beats down and I lie on the bench
I can always hear them talk
Me, I'm just a lawnmower
You can tell me by the way I walk

    Great performance, playing and singing is spectacular. Maybe not as warm as Collins version on Seconds Out, but amazing nonetheless. The jazz-fusion improvisation is a nice touch. Way to go Steve and The Band!!!

  9. S.... N....

    Don't forget that all those songs are very hard to sing and play for sure ! So I think that Nad Sylvan does his best to share Genesis 's music with us !

    Thank You Mr. Hackett! Nicely Done!

  19. M.... W....

    Talk about sucking all the life out of such a classic song, where the hell is the showmanship that both Peter Gabrial and Phil Collins put into the stage shows.

    M.... W....

    He's Fn Old Dude!

    M.... W....

    Hackett is 40 years older and you want his younger band showing him up. Its about the music...Dumbfuck

  20. M.... B....

    S.Hackett is no front man. Give him back his stool and put him left of centre.

  21. W.... ....

    W.... ....

    sack the vocalist ... rest is ok

    W.... ....

    hardtolivealittleand be No.

    People just like being negative and getting a reaction out of people.
