I Know What I Like — текст песни (Genesis)

It`s one o`clock and time for lunch
When the sun beats down and I lie on the bench
I can always hear them talk

There`s always been Ethel:
Jacob, wake up! You`ve got to tidy your room now.
And then Mr. Lewis:
Isn`t it time that he was out on his own ?
Over the garden wall, two little lovebirds - cuckoo to you!
Keep them mowing blades sharp ...

I know what I like, and I like what I know
Getting better in your wardrobe, stepping one beyond your show

Sunday night, Mr. Farmer called, said:

Listen son, you`re wasting time
There`s a future for you in the fire escape trade
Come up to town!
But I remembered a voice from the past:
Gambling only pays when you`re winning
- I had to thank old Miss Mort for schooling a failure
Keep them mowing blades sharp ...

I know what I like, and I like what I know
Getting better in your wardrobe, stepping one beyond your show
I know what I like, and I like what I know
Getting better in your wardrobe, stepping one beyond your show

When the sun beats down and I lie on the bench
I can always hear them talk
Me, I`m just a lawnmower - you can tell me by the way I walk
