How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

Genius Annotation

“I Know What I Like (In Your Wardrobe)” is a psychedelic and melodic track about a man employed as a landscaper insistent in his content with his current position in life, not wanting to pursue anything further.

The track was originally released with Selling England by the Pound and later re-released as a single. The track is largely considered Genesis' breakthrough track, charting #21 on the UK Top 40 in the charting week of June 4, 1974, despite the band’s refusal to appear on television for promotion.

The track maintains a Beatles-inspired psychedelic rock sound, using hand percussion rhythms and a riff from Steve Hackett that originated from a jam between Hackett and Phil Collins. After being chosen for the album cover, Betty Swanwick’s The Dream received the addition of a red lawnmower in allusion with the track.
