Genesis - I Know What I Like lyrics

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
