Solsbury Hill by Peter Gabriel
Climbing up on Solsbury Hill
I could see the city light
Wind was blowing, time stood still
Eagle flew out of the night
He was something to observe
Came in close, I heard a voice
Standing, stretching (1)__________ nerve
I had to listen, had no choice
I did not (2)______________ the information
Just had to trust imagination
My (3)__________ going boom, boom, boom
"Son," he said, "grab your things
I've (4)________ to (5)________ you home"
To keep in silence, I resigned
My (6)______________ (7)__________ (8)__________ I was a nut
Turning water into wine
Open doors (9)__________ (10)________ be shut
So I went from day to day
Though my (11)________ was in a rut
Till I thought of what I'd say
Which (12)____________________ I (13)____________ cut
I was feeling (14)________ of the scenery
I walked (15)__________ out of the machinery
My heart going boom, boom, boom
"Hey," he said, "Grab your things
I've come to take you home"
Yeah, (16)________ home
When illusion (17)________ her net
I'm (18)__________ where I want to be
And liberty, she pirouette
When I think (19)________ I am free
Watched by empty silhouette
Who (20)__________ (21)__________ (22)________ but (23)__________ can see
No one taught them etiquette
I (24)________ show another me
Today I don't need a replacement
I'll tell (25)________ (26)________ the smile on my face meant
My heart going boom, boom, boom
"Hey," I said, "You can keep my things
They've come to take me home"
I could see the city light
Wind was blowing, time stood still
Eagle flew out of the night
He was something to observe
