Peter Gabriel 1979 Here Comes The Flood

Peter Gabriel performs Here Comes The Flood on the 1979 Kate Bush Christmas special. The song is featured on his first solo album Peter Gabriel, also known as Car. Lyrics: When the night shows the signals grow on radios All the strange things they come and go, as early warnings Stranded starfish have no place to hide still waiting for the swollen Easter tide There s no point in direction we cannot even choose a side. I took the old track the hollow shoulder, across the waters On the tall cliffs they were getting older, sons and daughters The jaded underworld was riding high Waves of steel hurled metal at the sky and as the nail sunk in the cloud, the rain was warm and soaked the crowd. Lord, here comes the flood We ll say goodbye to flesh and blood If again the seas are silent in any still alive It ll be those who gave their island to survive Drink up, dreamers, you re running dry. When the flood calls You have no home, you have no walls In the thunder crash You re a thousand minds, within a flash
