It just occurred to me that Peter's spoken intro/outro in I Know What I Like is one of the rare spoken lyrics in a Genesis song:
"It's one o'clock and time for lunch" etc.
What other spoken lyrics did they have? From the top of my head these come to mind:
"Ok boys, fire over their heads" - John Anthony in The Knife
"They're gonna change you into a human being!" - Phil chattering in Willow Farm
"The soil! The soil!" - the whole band also in Willow Farm
"Understand Rael, this is the end of your tail!" - Phil in Colony of Slippermen
some of Peter's lyrics in Broadway Melody of 1974 are spoken too
and of course: "A flower?"
I can't seem to find any spoken lyric lines in later songs unless Phil's laughing in Mama qualifies. What did I miss?
Some other bands use spoken lyrics a lot more often. I'm not sure though why Spinal Tap's 'Stonehenge' is the first that comes to my mind...
