PETER GABRIEL - Family Snapshot lyrics

rate me

The streets are lined with camera crews<br>Everywhere he goes is news<br>Today is different<br>Today is not the same<br>Today I make the action<br>Take snapshot into the light, snapshot into the light<br>I'm shooting into the light<br><br>Four miles down the cavalcade moves on<br>Driving into the sun<br>If I worked it out right<br>They won't see me or the gun<br><br>Two miles to go, they're clearing the road<br>The cheering has really begun<br>I've got my radio<br>I can hear what's going on<br><br>I've been waiting for this<br>I have been waiting for this<br>All you people in tv land<br>I will wake up your empty shells<br>Peak-time viewing blown in a flash<br>As I burn into your memory cells<br>'cos I'm alive<br><br>They're coming 'round the corner with the bikers at the front<br>I'm wiping the sweat from my eyes<br>-it's a matter of time<br>-it's a matter of will<br>And the governor's car is not far behind<br>He's not the one I've got in mind<br>'cos there he is-the man of the hour, standing in the limousine<br>I don't really hate you<br>-i don't care what you do<br>We were made for each other<br>-me and you<br>I want to be somebody<br>-you were like that too<br>If you don't get given you learn to take<br>And I will take you.<br><br>Holding my breath<br>Release the catch<br>And I let the bullet fly<br><br>All turned quiet-i have been here before<br>Lonely boy hiding behind the front door<br>Friends have all gone home<br>There's my toy gun on the floor<br>Come back mum and dad<br>You're growing apart<br>You know that I'm growing up sad<br>I need some attention<br>I shoot into the light
