Hello World!, I say WELCOME. I'm a 57 years old classic rock fan and musician. For the most part I only do covers of classic rock and folk songs but am known from slipping in an occasional ballad or instrumental here and there too.

Story behind the song
One of those lengthy songs by Genesis that strays from the palatable commercial radio air play. Since the first time I heard this, the 'cricket' sound from Banks's synth caught my attention in a sort of a haunting way...
Lyrics
I'm coming down, coming down like a monkey, but it's alright Like a load on your back that you can't see, ooh but it's alright Try to shake it loose, cut it free, just let it go, get it away from me. 'Cos tonight, tonight, tonight - oh, I'm gonna make it right Tonight, tonight, tonight - oh. I'm going down, going down, like a monkey, ooh but it's alright Try to pick yourself up, carry that weight that you can't see, Don't you know it's alright It's like a helter skelter, going down and down, round and round But just get it away from me - oh. Because tonight, tonight, tonight - oh We're gonna make it right Tonight, tonight, tonight - oh. I got some money in my pocket, about ready to burn I don't remember where I got it, I gotta get it to you So please answer the phone, 'cos I keep calling, but you're never home What am I gonna do Tonight, tonight, tonight - oh I'm gonna make it right Tonight, tonight, tonight - oh. You keep telling me I've got everything, you say I've got everything I Want You keep telling me you're gonna help me, you're gonna help me, but you Don't But now I'm in too deep You see it's got me so that I just can't sleep Oh get me out of here, please get me out of here Just help me I'll do anything, anything If you'll just help me get out of here. I'm coming down, coming down like a monkey, ooh but its alright It's like a load on your back that you can't see, Ooh don't you know that it's alright Just try to shake it loose, cut it free, let it go But just get it away from me 'Cos tonight, tonight, tonight - oh Maybe we'll make it right Tonight, tonight, tonight - oh. Please get me out of here Someone get me out of here Just help me I'll do anything, anything If you'll just help get me out of here Tonight - oh, I'm gonna make it right Tonight, tonight, tonight - oh. Yes tonight, tonight, tonight - oh, Yes I'm gonna make it right, tonight, tonight, tonight - oh...
