Humdrum Lyrics


I saw the man at J.F.K.
He took your ticket yesterday
In the Humdrum

I ride tandem with a random
Things don't run the way I planned them
In the humdrum

Hey Valentina, do you want me to beg?
You got me cooking I'm a hard boiled egg
In the humdrum

Empty my mind, I find it hard to cope
Listen to my heart, don't need no stethoscope

Seem to me that television
She come to cut me a deep incision
In the humdrum

Empty my mind, I find it hard to cope
Listen to my heart - don't need no stethoscope

Out of woman come the man
Spend the rest of his life gettin' back where he can
As a bow, so a dove
As below, so above
From the black hole
Come the tadpole
With the dark soul
In coal she burn, she burn

As I drove into the sun
Didn't dare look where I had begun
Lost among echoes of things not there
Watching the sound forming shapes in the air
From the white star
Came the bright scar
Our amoeba
My little liebe schoen

    Modern Love Lyrics


    Hey, I'm feeling so dirty, you're looking so clean
    All you can give is a spin in your washing machine
    I fly off to Rome to my prima bella
    She leaves me in the rain with telescopic umbrella
    Ooh the pain -- Modern Love can be a strain

    I trusted my Venus was untouched in her shell
    But the pearls in her oyster were as tacky as hell
    For Lady Godiva I came incognito
    But her driver had stolen her red hot magneto
    Ooh the pain, modern love can be a strain

    I don't know why they leave me in the lurch
    To carry on the search
    It's driving me up the wall
    Pity when I have so much passion
    Romance is out of fashion
    Can't handle modern love at all

    So I worship Diana by the light of the moon
    When I pull out my pipe she screams out of tune
    In Paris my heart sinks when I see the Mona Lisa
    She gives me the wink, then she shows me the freezer
    Ooh the pain
    Modern love can be a strain

    Modern Love Song Chart
  • This was Gabriel's second single as a solo artist, after "Solsbury Hill." It tanked on the charts.
  • Like some other Gabriel songs ("Sledgehammer," "Steam"), this contains lots of phallic references, including a telescopic umbrella, his Venus, and the pipe.

    Moribund The Burgermeister Lyrics


    Caught in the chaos in the market square
    I don't know what, I don't know why, but something's wrong down there
    Their bodies twistin' and turnin' in a thousand ways
    The eyes all rollin' round and round into a distant gaze
    Ah, look at that crowd!

    Some are jumping up in the air say "We're drowning in a torrent of blood!"
    Others going down on their knees, seen a saviour coming out of the mud
    Oh Mother! It's eating out my soul
    Destroying law and order, I'm gonna lose control

    What can I do to stop this plague, spread by sight alone
    Just a glimpse and then a quiver, then they shiver to the bone
    Ah, look at them go!

    Bunderschaft, you are going daft? Better seal off the castle grounds
    "This is Moribund, the Burgermeister, I'm gonna keep this monster down,
    Somebody sent the subversive element; going to chase it out of town."
    No-one will tell what all this is about
    But I will find out.

    This thing's really outrageous, I tell you on the level
    It's really so contagious must be the work of the devil
    You better go now, pick up the pipers, tell them to play
    Seems the music keeps them quiet, there is no other way.
    Ah, close the doors!

    "We've tried potions and waxen dolls, but none of us could find any cures,"
    Mother please, is it just a disease, that has them breaking all my laws,
    Check if you can disconnect the effect and I'll go after the cause
    No-one will tell what this is all about
    But I will find out
    I will.

  • Gabriel got the idea from a book about Middle Ages epidemics.
  • This was the first track on Gabriel's first solo release.
  • The London Symphony Orchestra plays on this.
  • Gabriel recorded this in the grandiose style similar to the work he was doing with Genesis before he left on The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway.
