Here my answers 1- You are right, was just an unconscious mental lapse. I changed the title. 2- The answer is in the poll before (Trespass). To avoid something tedious I decided to make polls of only those albums which 4 stars or more. (Except The Lamb because it is an only one lyric on its own)

I actually usually dislike Genesis lyrics. I don't really like very much the inteded humor or whatever Gabriel tries to use, nor the images I imagine with his words. I dislike them just about as much as his singing and his theatrics.

"...And as his heated breath brushed through the cool mist, a liquid voice called, "Son of gods, drink from my spring"..." Fountain of Salmacis one of the best lyrics I ever heard. Musical box, Seven stones and For absent friends stunning lyrics too. Here is the lyrics writers Musical box (Gabriel) For absent friends (unknown some said Phillips) Giant Hogweed (Gabriel) Seven Stones (Banks) Harlequin (Probably Rutherford or Banks) Harold the barrel (Gabriel) Fountain of Salmacis (Rutherford)

How many times do you read 'Crime' or even 'Crimes' ?? Just like Jethro Tull - "oh yeah, I have a few of his albums...."

I voted for the gentle opener, so currently leading song ("Giant Hogweed") has too much words for my taste and generally seems too theatrical to me.
Notice:
1. Correct name of the album is "Nursery Cryme", that's actually pun with "nursery rhyme".
2. Did you miss the Genesis debut?

Musical Box...then Salmacis, what great lyrics all around. Mind you that was one of Genesis's strength always.

I'm the first to vote for Seven Stones. At some other time I would pick one of the others. I'm just really into that song right now, as it happens. The whole album is filled with great lyrics.

The nurse will tell you lies, of kingdom beyond the skies, but I am lost within this half world, it doesn't seem to matter now..

From a dense forest of tall dark pinewood, Mount Ida rises like an island. Within a hidden cave, nymphs had kept a child; Hermaphroditus, son of gods, so afraid of their love.

When he rides, my fears subside.
For darkness turns once more to light. Through the skies, his white horse flies. To find a land beyond the night. |

Musical Box - love the first verse's lyrics ("the nurse will tell you lies, of a kingdom beyond the skies"). Sounds brilliant with that melody as well

Harold the Barrel isn't a great song, but the lyrics definitely make it.
