In the Cage - Genesis - Live at the Lyceum - London - 1980

Genesis Playing In the cage nedley: In the Cage/Slippermen. In The Lyceum Theatre on Duke's Tour.

Lyrics:

got sunshine in my stomach
Like I just rocked my baby to sleep.
I got sunshine in my stomach
But I cant keep me from creeping sleep,
Sleep, deep in the deep.

He wakes in a cold sweat with a strong urge to vomit. theres no sign of the cocoon and he can see more of the cave about him. there is much more of the glowing water dripping from the roof and
Ctites and stalagmites are forming and decomposing at an alarming rate all around him.

Rockface moves to press my skin
White liquid turn sour within
Turn fast - turn sour
Turn sweat - turn sour.
Must tell myself that Im not here.
Im drowning in a liquid fear.
Bottled in a strong compression,
My distortion shows obsession
In the cave.
Get me out of this cave!

If I keep my self-control,
Ill be safe in my soul.
And the childhood belief
Brings a moments relief,
But my cynic soon returns
And the lifeboat burns.
My spirit just never learns.

Stalactites, stalagmites
Shut me in, lock me tight.
Lips are dry, throat is dry.
Feel like burning, stomach churning,
Im dressed up in a white costume
Padding out leftover room.
Body stretching, feel the wretching
In the cage
Get me out of the cage!

In the glare of a light,
I see a strange kind of sight;
Of cages joined to form a star
Each person cant go very far;
All tied to their things
Theyre netted by their strings,
Free to flutter in memories of their wasted wings.

As the rocky bars press in on raels body, he sees his brother john outside, looking in. johns face is motionless despite screams for help, but in his vacant expression a tear of blood forms an
Ckles down his cheek. then he calmly walks away leaving rael to face the pains which are beginning to sweep through his body.

Outside the cage I see my brother john,
He turns his head so slowly round.
I cry out help! before he can be gone,
And he looks at me without a sound.
And I shout out john please help me!
But he does not even want to try to speak.
Im helpless in my violent rage
And a silent tear of blood dribbles down his cheek,
And I watch him turn away and leave the cage.
My little runaway.

(raindrops keep failing on my head, they keep falling on my...)

In a trap, feel a strap
Holding still. pinned for kill.
Chances narrow that Ill make it,
In the cushioned straight-jacket.
Just like 22nd street,
They got me by my neck and feet.
Pressures building, cant take more.
My headaches charge, earaches roar.
In this pain
Get me out of this pain.

If I could change to liquid,
I could fill the cracks up in the rocks.
I know that I am solid
And I am my own bad luck.

However, just as john walks out of sight, the cage dissolves and rael is left spinning like a top.

Outside john disappears, my cage dissolves,
Without any reason my body revolves.

Keep on turning,
Keep on turning,
Turning around,
Spinning around.

Has anyone posted this concert start to end?

[ITO198]

wow



[FUKIMAKAI]

esta versión esta buena porque todavía tenían el hammond t102 que les daba ese toque tanto progresivo como más modernoso. cuando lo dejaron de usar en 1981 perdieron parte del sonido. y cuando dejaron de usar el prophet 10 que sonaba parecido pero no igual despues de 1984, perdieron el sonido del todo, aunque seguían interpretando bien los temas, pero ya no sonaban tan bien como hasta ahí. los teclados decían mucho de la banda. tony banks es un capo, pero hasta ahí.

chateauflood, the speeding up is intented and was there since they played it on the lamb album

[mcannmcann291]

there was a lot of coke i those days I think -- saw them at forest hills and he was coated in sweat and crazed from the first 5 minutes to the end of the supper's ready encore...

[PeterMayer]

I remember the 78 tour.

[rocknrollhell]

In The Cage = a highlight in a Genesis show. Whether it's this show, Three Sides Live or Live Over Europe, I still get chills when hearing it. Purely epic.

Thanks a bunch for uploading this vid, seems like this concert is a cool one to have. :)

[StalkerinfromDavid]

phil is great, but peter....hach...but peter is a god.

[mikelmart]

who remembers this song on their "mirrors tour"?

[chateauflood]

Collins speeds this up at the "rain drops keep falling on my head" section. Manic. Wrong. But as ever with Collins: it works.
