She’s never lonely a bottle of maybe
Will take her to bed every night

But oh when she reads the letter I’ve written will she care
To never again see my face at her door?

Queen of the high school they said she was no fool
Now drunk in the staff room at quarter past nine
Cocktails at South Ken, did you even know then
I harboured a daydream that you could be mine?

But oh, can you cope with being a woman of our time

Having a baby’s a definite maybe that Jeremy stripe-shirt will make you his wife
Parties at Putney, supper with chutney
A man who may love you the rest of his life

But oh, I’m a thousand miles away from you now
But if I should see you again, would it work somehow?
Julia, wake-up, Julia, wake-up

An amazing reinterpretations of old Genesis classics. Even "Invisible touch", in my opinion one of the worst songs by Genesis, in this album is a little gem. You can almost imagine Steve Hackett on classical guitar. mario1984
