Family Snapshot — текст песни (Peter Gabriel)

The streets are lined with camera crews
Everywhere he goes is news
Today is different
Today is not the same
Today I make the action
Take snapshot into the light, snapshot into the light
I`m shooting into the light

Four miles down the cavalcade moves on
Driving into the sun
If I worked it out right
They won`t see me or the gun

Two miles to go, they`re clearing the road
The cheering has really begun
I`ve got my radio
I can hear what`s going on

I`ve been waiting for this
I have been waiting for this
All you people in TV land
I will wake up your empty shells
Peak-time viewing blown in a flash
As I burn into your memory cells
`Cos I`m alive

They`re coming `round the corner with the bikers at the front
I`m wiping the sweat from my eyes
-It`s a matter of time
-It`s a matter of will
And the governor`s car is not far behind
He`s not the one I`ve got in mind
`Cos there he is-the man of the hour, standing in the limousine
I don`t really hate you
-I don`t care what you do
We were made for each other
-Me and you
I want to be somebody
-You were like that too
If you don`t get given you learn to take
And I will take you.

Holding my breath
Release the catch
And I let the bullet fly

All turned quiet-I have been here before
Lonely boy hiding behind the front door
Friends have all gone home
There`s my toy gun on the floor
Come back Mum and Dad
You`re growing apart
You know that I`m growing up sad
I need some attention
I shoot into the light
