Genesis - Many Too Many

Many too many have stood where I stand
Many more will stand here too,
I think what I find strange is the way you built me up
Then knocked me down again.

The part was fun but now it's over,
Why can't I just leave the stage?
Maybe that's because you securely locked me up
Then threw away the key.

Oh mama,
Please would you find the key.
Oh pretty mama,
Please won't you let me go free.
I thought I was lucky
I thought that I'd got it made.
How could I be so blind?

You said good-bye on a corner
That I thought led to the straight.
You set me on a firmly laid and simple course
Then removed the road.

Oh mama,
Please help me find my way.
Oh pretty mama,
Please lead me through the next day.
I thought I was lucky
Oh I thought that I'd got it made.
How could I be so blind? Oh no...

If it wasn't for my dad I would have never gotten in to Genesis. He was more into the Peter Gabriel days but he did like Phil up until this album. My dad passed on on June 7th only 48 years old. I would just like to thank him for introducing this brilliant band to me.

@xshellylynnx88 I wouldn't know what good music was if it hadn't been for my mom and dad. Prog rock like Genesis and Rush was more my own musical adventure but I owe years of good music like this to my parents who played it often. My dad also died very young, just 47 years old. Lou Gehrig's disease.

@axman777 Don't know about that. They heard Genesis in the car a lot growing up. One even noticed the difference between the live and recorded version of Fading Lights. But I think they have gotten on a really slippery slope of no return when they start listening to J-Pop and K-Pop.
