Peter Gabriel’s “i/o”
i/o by Peter Gabriel
Panopticom
In the air, the smoke cloud takes its form
All the phones take pictures while it's warm
Panopticom let's find out what's going on
Panopticom let's see where clues are leading
Panopticom won't you show us what's going on?
Panopticom so how much is real?
And we pour the medicine down
While we watch the world around us
We got witness on the ground taking in the evidence
And we reach across the globe
We got all the information flowing
You face the mother lode tentacles around you
Around you
From above and deep below the ground
It was in Berlin that all the evidence was found
Look from the street and we look down from the skies
See through the barriers we can see through all those lies
Panopticom let's find out what's going on
Panopticom let's see where clues are leading
Panopticom won't you show us what's going on?
Panopticom so how much is real?
And we pour the medicine down
While we watch the world around us
We got witness on the ground taking in the evidence
And we reach across the globe
We got all the information flowing
You face the mother lode tentacles around you
Around you
Around
Playing For Time
Far, far away
Out amongst the stars
There’s a planet spinning slowly
We call it ours
Any time, any day
Any moment that we bring to life
Will never fade away
Oh, oh the moments come and go
While the memories ebb and flow
Play again, play again
Oh, there’s a hill that we must climb
Climb toward the mist of time
It’s all in here what we’ve been through
Down, I’m getting it down
Sorting it out
So everything I care about
Is held in here
All of those I love inside
Everybody’s playing for time
You and I still playing for time
Thеre goes the sun
Back from whеre it came
The young move to the center
The mom and dad, the frame
Any space, any time
Any moment that we bring to life
Ridiculous, sublime
Oh, oh the moments come and go
While the memories ebb and flow
Play again, play again
Oh, there’s a hill that we must climb
Climb toward these mists of time
It’s all in here what we’ve been through
Down, getting it down
Sorting it out
So everything I care about
Is held in here
All of those I love inside
Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-ooh
Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-ooh
The future shines a sunny day
Unpacked memories stored away
All the while, the clock keeps ticking
You and I still playing for time
One by one the voices silenced
For they know that time will tell
It’s time that wears the crown
And time that rings the bell
All cards on the table
All hands are down
Everybody’s playing for time
Everyone’s still playing for time
Looking for a flicker in the face of the clock
Hidden in the mountain, in the body of the rock
No one seems to notice or to feel the aftershock
They’re all too busy playing for time
Everybody’s playing for time
You and I still playing for time
The Court
You put your hand up, you make your bid
You got your pictures all laid out on the grid
Look in the garden, in the surface ground
Buried everything that you never want found
And the court will rise
While the pillars all fall
We got the healer and the birthday cake
We got the real thing and we got the fake
You got the ladder but where is the snake?
How my body begins to wake
And the court will rise
While the pillars all fall
You got the money goin' up your nose
You got the data, don't control where it goes
But you have left it getting down to the bone
Your only memories on your mobile phone
And the court will rise
While the pillars all fall
Out of this sentence
The ball and the claw
And all these pronouncements
I can make up the voice of the law
Out in the market, all our lives are on sale
And the balls are drifting further apart
Recovery cannot fail
Got the things you need and they're all in place
Got the big shot barrister to plead my case
Got my baby throwin' up on a chocolate milk
The black cat judge reaches for his silk
And the court will rise
While the pillars all fall
We lost the line between the good and bad
We lost the line between the sane and the mad
Used to draw the line across the writing pad
The line of conscience that we never have had
And the court will rise
While the pillars all fall
So many reaching for it
So many reaching out for it (you know that justice is blind)
So many are reaching for it
So many reaching out for it (you know that justice is blind)
So many looking out for it
So many looking out for it (you know that justice is blind)
Four Kinds of Horses
It all seemed so simple
Remarkably clear
Like the darkest superhero
You were burst into our fear
They must have seen you looking
Watched everything you said
Knowing you could be a part of it
They fill your head
Fill your head
Come all the nights
Oh, come all the days
So inaccessible in this land
This land beyond the brilliant haze
Here is all your money
There is the load
This is how you travel
If you live to see the world explode
Four kinds of horses, four kinds of mеn
Ah, you say you’re something differеnt
But you do it all again
Four kinds of horses, four kinds of men
Ah, you think you’re something different
But you do it all again
Again and again, again and again
i/o
I'm just a part of everything
I stand on two legs and I learn to sing
It's not what was said
It's not what I heard
I walk with my dog and I whistle with the bird
Stuff coming out, stuff going in
I'm just a part of everything
Stuff coming out, stuff going in
I'm just a part of everything
So we think we really live apart
Because we’ve got two legs, a brain, and a heart
We all belong to everything
To the octopus' suckers and the buzzard’s wing
To the elephant’s trunk and buzzing bee’s sting
Stuff coming out, stuff going in
I'm just a part of everything
I'm just a part of everything
i/o, i/o
Coming out, I'm going in
i/o, i/o
I'm just a part of everything
I learn like a baby, I learn like a seed
Spread out my tubers wherever I need
I find any way to attach and connect
And I run like water, no cause or effect
Stuff coming out, stuff going in
I'm just a part of everything
Stuff coming out, stuff going in
I'm just a part of everything
When the panting is over and the warmth has run out
Love will be flowing, I have no doubt
With the vehicle in neutral and the ground to be faced
I’ll be all laid to rest in my proper place
Into the roots of an old oak tree
Where life can move freely in and out of me
Stuff coming out, stuff going in
I'm just a part of everything
i/o, i/o
Coming out, I'm going in
i/o, i/o
I'm just a part of everything
i/o, i/o
Coming out, I'm going in
i/o, i/o
I'm just a part of everything
Love Can Heal
Whatever mess, you find yourself within
Regardless how you got there
When the edifice has slipped away and died
And left you standing there defenseless
Love can heal love can heal
Love can heal love can heal
There's something coming out of you
Your body and your skin
Like mist comes from the water
You can sense it
When the cold has clenched it's cords
And, alone, you face what's coming
For a moment, I raise my head
I can breathe the air
Out in the sunlight, in all the colours
Set against, a bed of green a bed of green
Love can heal love can heal
Love can heal love can heal
Give into love (Love can heal)
Give into love (Love can heal)
Give into love (Love can heal)
Give into love (Love can heal)
(Love can heal, Love can heal)
Love can heal love can heal
Love can heal love can heal us
Road to Joy
Waking up, waking up, waking up…
Waking up the road to joy
Sore eyes, swollen skies
Look for anchors, look for ties
Sharp sounds swim around
Soak into the brittle ground
Been so many days, been held inside this body
Been so many days, and there’s nothing to do
Been so many days, in the throbbing of the darkness
Been so many days, I've been waiting for you
Back in the world
Waking up the road to joy
Love calls through the walls
Warms the earth wherever it falls
Lights form and cool you down
Going in for another round
This is how it goes, I've been listening to the voices
This is how it goes, you were sure I was gone
This is how it goes, in this state of meditation
This is how it goes, I've been waiting for you
Back in thе world
Waking up the road to joy
Back in the world
Walking down the road to joy
Thе engine stops and silence pause
Fills the holes and cracks, don't fuse
Young and old, girl and boy
Dance along the road to joy
Picture sharpens in your head
Opens up when it's been read
All the things you strain to see
Come, move on in, come to be
Show your eyes, show your teeth
That’s the way to build belief
Touch my hair, touch my knee
You can wake up every part of me
Get the blood to flow, in every nook and cranny
Get the blood to flow, from my head to my toes
Get the blood to flow, flowing all around me
Get the blood to flow, with the life in my soul
Back in the world
Walking down the road to joy
Just when you think it can’t get worse
The mind reveals the universe
Opens up a distant star
It gives you straight just who you are
I'm more a dog, you're more a cat
Then we're getting bored of that
Alive again, aboard a snake
Then we jump into the lake
So Much
So much unfinished business
All sticky with desire
Raking through the empty shells
Of all the rockets we fired
Set the navigation
For the Earth all warm and wet
And as the longing drops away
The compass is reset
Oh, there's so much to aim for
You can shoot at the sun
But all of it just comes and goes
There's only so much can be done
Time slips in the mirror
As an old man, I was born
But I've grown to be a baby
With a halo and a horn
Burn up like a lightning bolt
All gone within a flash
You look around to find a home
Where the asteroid will crash
Oh, there's so much to live for
So much left to give
This edition is limited
There's only so much can be done
The body stiffens, tires and aches
In its wrinkled, blotchy skin
With each decade, more camouflage
For the wild eyed child within
Now close your eyes for a moment
Look down and look above
All the warmth inside of you
Comes from those you love
Oh, there's so much to live for
So much left to give
This edition is limited
There's only so much can be done
So much to aim for
Shooting up at the sun
When it all comes and goes
There's only so much can be done
So much can be done
Only so much can be done
Olive Tree
In the misty silver night
My eyes fall to the ground
I can feel it come alive
In the seeds pushing out through the soil
Your light weaves its way out through the coils
Nothing’s gonna hold this movement down
I was apart from it
My head in the sky
With no ears to listen
No light reached my eye
There rolls the fungi
Still tied to its past
With the melting of the solid world
The change is coming fast
And it’s, oh-oh!
I’ve got the water falling on me
So waking me up
I’ve got the sunlight bright on my back
Warming up all my bones
I’ve got the cool breeze right on my skin
Bringing еvery cell to life
Making all connеctions [?]
From one point to another
And we’re all here, just the same
Try to make some sense of it
Where I’m going now
How it fits together
In the bigger shape of things
And I slide into the waves
Leaving land behind
It's another world I’m entering now
There’s the [?] pushing through the swaying reeds
[?] about their needs
Nothing’s going to hold this pattern down
I was apart from it
In a world of our own
The loss of connection
To the place of which we’d grown
But here with this helmet
I can read other minds
Scan all the thinking
All the cues I can find
And it’s, oh-oh!
I’ve got the water falling on me
So waking me up
I’ve got the sunlight bright on my back
Warming up all my bones
I’ve got the cool breeze right on my skin
Bringing every cell to life
Making all connections [?]
From one point to another
And we’re all here, just the same
Try to make some sense of it
Where I’m going now
How it fits together
In the bigger shape of things
Water falls on me
Breaking up the world
Water falls on us
Pouring from my head
Pouring from her head
Pouring from my head
Oh-oh!
Oh-oh!
Oh-oh!
I’ve got the water falling on me
I’ve got the sunlight bright on my back
I’ve got the cool breeze right on my skin
I’ve got the water falling on me
Water falling on me
This Is Home
Enter to the deepest sky
To find what you’d shown me
Here beside the shining sea
Calm came over me
I know this is home
Home is where I need to be
I know you are my home
Running down these roads of grass
No way to see through them
Struggle through the buzz in the ground
One thing I’m certain
I know this is home
Home is where I need to be
I know you are my home
More or less
When you strip the whole thing down
Let all the feelings flow
And wе’re standing there in thе garden
Watching the world roll out below
And we flow
Like a river through the night
All the colors bleed to light
I looked as far as I could see
To see what you’d shown me
Scattered like a bag of seeds
Wherever the wind was blowing
But everybody [?]
In the day or night
Everyone go
Then it’s you and I
We just keep moving on
Walking down the road
When we make it hard
And I let you score
It looks like love has grown
Then the love creeps through
[?]
Walking down the road
Go back home
Looking for answers
But they’re hidden from view
There's no way [?]
Here I am holding you
There’s nowhere else I’m going
I know this is home
Home is where I have to be
I know this is my home
Home, ho-ome
This is my home
Home, ho-ome
You are my home
A-ha, a-ha, a-ha, ah
A-ha, a-ha, a-yeah
A-ha, a-ha, a-ha, ah
A-ha, a-ha, a-yeah
A-ha, a-ha, a-ha, ah
And Still
All gone away
All gone away
I place my hand against your skin
As I did as a boy
And still your hands feel cold
Those hands that brushed my hair
I feel you everywhere
And I'll carry you inside of me
In every place that I will be
And still warm winds will blow
And still all the rivers will flow
And still green grass will grow
Every place I choose to go
I wander around the house
In which we lived
[?] is full of [?]
Your presence everywhere
And in every corner, memories [?]
You warmed us, like the sun
And [?] every morning, you'll be there
Now you were gone
You warmed me, like the sun
In your belly
With your food
With your love, family and friends
[?]
In the light of the conversation
[?]
And your spirit will find
Its place, its home, its face and the music
Your eyes, so young, so old
And still your hands are cold
I feel you everywhere
And I'll carry you inside of me
In every place that I can be
And still warm winds will blow
And still all the rivers will flow
And still green grass will grow
Every place I choose to go
I'll carry you inside of me
Live and Let Live
Just how much does it have to hurt
Before you let go of the pain?
Just how deep does it have to be
Before you yearn to be free again?
Everyone can lock you away
Or, you can choose to remain
Everyday can pass you by
While you were holding the key
Everyone can lock you away
Or, you can choose to remain
Everyday can pass you by
While you were holding the key
This is how it turns
This is what we do
This is who we are
When we forgive
We can move on
Release all the shackles
One by one
We belong to the burden
Until it's gonе
Just how long do you want to hate
With all that angry temperamеnt?
You dream of revenge
You dream of pride
You hope that someday we learn
Every time you think about her
It spins around in your mind
With an eye for an eye
Again and again
Until the whole world is blind
This is how it turns
This is what we do
This is who we are
When we forgive
We can move on
Release all the shackles
One by one
We belong to the burden
Until it's gone
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Lay the burden down
[?] lay the weapons down
Lay the burden down
And it’s when you play [?]
Drawing out Martin Luther King
[?] deeper
Saying [?] to exist
The voice of the elders
Coming through the mess
Lay the burden down
(Lay the weapons down)
Lay the burden down
(Lay the weapons down)
It takes courage
Learn to forgive
To be brave enough to listen
To live and let live
It takes courage
Learn to forgive
To be brave enough to listen
To live and let live
Let live
Live and let live
It takes courage
Learn to forgive
To be brave enough to listen
To live and let live
It takes courage
Learn to forgive
To be brave enough to listen
To live and let live
Let live

Playing For Time
Far, far away
Out amongst the stars
There’s a planet spinning slowly
We call it ours
Any time, any day
Any moment that we bring to life
Will never fade away
Oh, oh the moments come and go
While the memories ebb and flow
Play again, play again
Oh, there’s a hill that we must climb
Climb toward the mist of time
It’s all in here what we’ve been through
Down, I’m getting it down
Sorting it out
So everything I care about
Is held in here
All of those I love inside
Everybody’s playing for time
You and I still playing for time

The Court
You put your hand up, you make your bid
You got your pictures all laid out on the grid
Look in the garden, in the surface ground
Buried everything that you never want found
And the court will rise
While the pillars all fall
We got the healer and the birthday cake
We got the real thing and we got the fake
You got the ladder but where is the snake?
How my body begins to wake
And the court will rise
While the pillars all fall
You got the money goin' up your nose
You got the data, don't control where it goes
But you have left it getting down to the bone
Your only memories on your mobile phone
And the court will rise
While the pillars all fall

The ball and the claw
And all these pronouncements
I can make up the voice of the law
Out in the market, all our lives are on sale
And the balls are drifting further apart
Recovery cannot fail
Got the things you need and they're all in place
Got the big shot barrister to plead my case
Got my baby throwin' up on a chocolate milk
The black cat judge reaches for his silk
And the court will rise
While the pillars all fall
We lost the line between the good and bad
We lost the line between the sane and the mad
Used to draw the line across the writing pad
The line of conscience that we never have had
And the court will rise
While the pillars all fall
So many reaching for it
So many reaching out for it (you know that justice is blind)
So many are reaching for it
So many reaching out for it (you know that justice is blind)
So many looking out for it
So many looking out for it (you know that justice is blind)

Road to Joy
Waking up, waking up, waking up…
Waking up the road to joy
Sore eyes, swollen skies
Look for anchors, look for ties
Sharp sounds swim around
Soak into the brittle ground
Been so many days, been held inside this body
Been so many days, and there’s nothing to do
Been so many days, in the throbbing of the darkness
Been so many days, I've been waiting for you
Back in the world
Waking up the road to joy

Warms the earth wherever it falls
Lights form and cool you down

Look down and look above
All the warmth inside of you
Comes from those you love
Oh, there's so much to live for
So much left to give
This edition is limited
There's only so much can be done
So much to aim for
Shooting up at the sun
When it all comes and goes
There's only so much can be done
So much can be done
Only so much can be done
Olive Tree
In the misty silver night
My eyes fall to the ground
I can feel it come alive
In the seeds pushing out through the soil
Your light weaves its way out through the coils
Nothing’s gonna hold this movement down
I was apart from it
My head in the sky
With no ears to listen
No light reached my eye
There rolls the fungi
Still tied to its past
With the melting of the solid world
The change is coming fast
And it’s, oh-oh!
I’ve got the water falling on me
So waking me up
I’ve got the sunlight bright on my back
Warming up all my bones
I’ve got the cool breeze right on my skin
Bringing еvery cell to life
Making all connеctions [?]
From one point to another
And we’re all here, just the same
Try to make some sense of it
Where I’m going now
How it fits together
In the bigger shape of things
And I slide into the waves
Leaving land behind
It's another world I’m entering now
There’s the [?] pushing through the swaying reeds
[?] about their needs
Nothing’s going to hold this pattern down
I was apart from it
In a world of our own
The loss of connection
To the place of which we’d grown
But here with this helmet
I can read other minds
Scan all the thinking
All the cues I can find
And it’s, oh-oh!
I’ve got the water falling on me
So waking me up
I’ve got the sunlight bright on my back
Warming up all my bones
I’ve got the cool breeze right on my skin
Bringing every cell to life
Making all connections [?]
From one point to another
And we’re all here, just the same
Try to make some sense of it
Where I’m going now
How it fits together
In the bigger shape of things
Water falls on me
Breaking up the world
Water falls on us
Pouring from my head
Pouring from her head
Pouring from my head
Oh-oh!
Oh-oh!
Oh-oh!
I’ve got the water falling on me
I’ve got the sunlight bright on my back
I’ve got the cool breeze right on my skin
I’ve got the water falling on me
Water falling on me
This Is Home
Enter to the deepest sky
To find what you’d shown me
Here beside the shining sea
Calm came over me
I know this is home
Home is where I need to be
I know you are my home
Running down these roads of grass
No way to see through them
Struggle through the buzz in the ground
One thing I’m certain
I know this is home
Home is where I need to be
I know you are my home
More or less
When you strip the whole thing down
Let all the feelings flow
And wе’re standing there in thе garden
Watching the world roll out below
And we flow
Like a river through the night
All the colors bleed to light
I looked as far as I could see
To see what you’d shown me
Scattered like a bag of seeds
Wherever the wind was blowing
But everybody [?]
In the day or night
Everyone go
Then it’s you and I
We just keep moving on
Walking down the road
When we make it hard
And I let you score
It looks like love has grown
Then the love creeps through
[?]
Walking down the road
Go back home
Looking for answers
But they’re hidden from view
There's no way [?]
Here I am holding you
There’s nowhere else I’m going
I know this is home
Home is where I have to be
I know this is my home
Home, ho-ome
This is my home
Home, ho-ome
You are my home
A-ha, a-ha, a-ha, ah
A-ha, a-ha, a-yeah
A-ha, a-ha, a-ha, ah
A-ha, a-ha, a-yeah
A-ha, a-ha, a-ha, ah
And Still
All gone away
All gone away
I place my hand against your skin
As I did as a boy
And still your hands feel cold
Those hands that brushed my hair
I feel you everywhere
And I'll carry you inside of me
In every place that I will be
And still warm winds will blow
And still all the rivers will flow
And still green grass will grow
Every place I choose to go
I wander around the house
In which we lived
[?] is full of [?]
Your presence everywhere
And in every corner, memories [?]
You warmed us, like the sun
And [?] every morning, you'll be there
Now you were gone
You warmed me, like the sun
In your belly
With your food
With your love, family and friends
[?]
In the light of the conversation
[?]
And your spirit will find
Its place, its home, its face and the music
Your eyes, so young, so old
And still your hands are cold
I feel you everywhere
And I'll carry you inside of me
In every place that I can be
And still warm winds will blow
And still all the rivers will flow
And still green grass will grow
Every place I choose to go
I'll carry you inside of me
Live and Let Live
Just how much does it have to hurt
Before you let go of the pain?
Just how deep does it have to be
Before you yearn to be free again?
Everyone can lock you away
Or, you can choose to remain
Everyday can pass you by
While you were holding the key
Everyone can lock you away
Or, you can choose to remain
Everyday can pass you by
While you were holding the key
This is how it turns
This is what we do
This is who we are
When we forgive
We can move on
Release all the shackles
One by one
We belong to the burden
Until it's gonе
Just how long do you want to hate
With all that angry temperamеnt?
You dream of revenge
You dream of pride
You hope that someday we learn
Every time you think about her
It spins around in your mind
With an eye for an eye
Again and again
Until the whole world is blind
This is how it turns
This is what we do
This is who we are
When we forgive
We can move on
Release all the shackles
One by one
We belong to the burden
Until it's gone
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Lay the burden down
[?] lay the weapons down
Lay the burden down
And it’s when you play [?]
Drawing out Martin Luther King
[?] deeper
Saying [?] to exist
The voice of the elders
Coming through the mess
Lay the burden down
(Lay the weapons down)
Lay the burden down
(Lay the weapons down)
It takes courage
Learn to forgive
To be brave enough to listen
To live and let live
It takes courage
Learn to forgive
To be brave enough to listen
To live and let live
Let live
Live and let live
It takes courage
Learn to forgive
To be brave enough to listen
To live and let live
It takes courage
Learn to forgive
To be brave enough to listen
To live and let live
Let live
(Live and let live)
Let live
(Live and let live)
(Let live)
Live and let live
Let live
(Be brave enough to listen)
(To live and let live)
Live and let live
(Be brave enough to listen)
(To live and let live)
Live and let live
