It / Watcher of the Skies (Live at Apollo Theater, Glasgow, 9th July 1976) Lyrics

[Part I: It]

[Intro]
When it's cold, it come slow
When it's warm, just watch it grow, oh
All around me

[Chorus]
It is here
It is now

[Verse]
Just a little bit of it
Can bring you up or down
Like the supper
It is cooking in your hometown, come along to Glasglow
It's supper, it is eggs
It is in between your legs
It is walking on the moon
Leaving your cocoon

[Pre-Chorus]
When you eat right through it
You see everything alive
It is inside spirit
With enough grit to survive
Now if you think this is pretentious
Then you've been taken for a ride
Look across the mirror, sonny
Before you choose, decide
[Chorus]
It is here
It is now

[Outro]
It is here, it is now
It is real, it is Rael, yeah, 'cause you know that we know
That it's only knock and know all
But we like it
It's only knock and know all
But we like it
It's only knock and know all
But we like it, oh yes, we like it
It's only knock and know all
But we like it
Yeah, it's only knock and know all
It's only knock and know all
It's only knock and know all
It's only knock and know all
It's only knock and know all
But we like it
Thank you, see ya!

[Part II: Watcher of the Skies]

[Instrumental]
(Ohh)

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 [?]

Being recorded during the A Trick of the Tail Tour, (and being the only song on here recorded during that time) this marks the last apperance of Steve Hackett in official Genesis material since his 1977 departure during the mixing of Seconds Out. This also features former Yes drummer Bill Bruford on drums, as he was the backup drummer for this tour and this tour only.
