'In Your Eyes' written by Peter Gabriel
Lyrics
Love I get so lost sometimes
Days pass and this emptiness fills my heart
When I want to run away I drive off in my car
But whichever way I go
I come back to the place you are
All my instincts, they return
The grand facade, so soon will burn
Without a noise, without my pride
I reach out from the inside
In your eyes
The light, the heat (in your eyes)
I am complete (in your eyes)
I see the doorway (in your eyes)
To a thousand churches (in your eyes)
The resolution (in your eyes)
Of all the fruitless searches (in your eyes)
Oh, I see the light and the heat (in your eyes)
Oh, I wanna be that complete
I wanna touch the light, the heat I see in your eyes
Love, I don't like to see so much pain
So much wasted and this moment keeps slipping away
I get so tired working so hard for our survival
I look to the time with you to keep me awake and alive
And all my instincts they return
And the grand facade, so soon will burn
Without a noise, without my pride
I reach out from the inside
In your eyes (your eyes, your eyes)
In your eyes
In your eyes
The light, the heat (in your eyes)
I am complete (in your eyes)
I see the doorway
To a thousand churches (in your eyes)
The resolution (in your eyes)
Of all the fruitless searches
Oh, I see the light and the heat (in your eyes)
Oh, I wanna be that complete (in your eyes)
I wanna touch the light, the heat I see in your eyes
In your eyes
In your eyes
In your eyes
In your eyes (in your eyes)
(In your eyes)
In your eyes (in your eyes)
In your eyes (in your eyes)

'Solsbury Hill' written by Peter Gabriel
lyrics
Climbing up on Solsbury Hill
I could see the city light
Wind was blowing, time stood still
Eagle flew out of the night
He was something to observe
Came in close, I heard a voice
Standing stretching every nerve
Had to listen had no choice
I did not believe the information
(I) just had to trust imagination
My heart going boom boom boom
"Son, " he said "Grab your things,
I've come to take you home."
To keep in silence I resigned
My friends would think I was a nut
Turning water into wine
Open doors would soon be shut
So I went from day to day
Tho' my life was in a rut
"Till I thought of what I'd say
Which connection I should cut
I was feeling part of the scenery
I walked right out of the machinery
My heart going boom boom boom
"Hey" he said "Grab your things
I've come to take you home."
Back home
When illusion spin her net
I'm never where I want to be
And liberty she pirouette
When I think that I am free
Watched by empty silhouettes
Who close their eyes but still can see
No one taught them etiquette
I will show another me
Today I don't need a replacement
I'll tell them what the smile on my face meant
My heart going boom boom boom
"Hey" I said "You can keep my things,
They've come to take me home."

Song background from {[songfacts.com/facts/peter-gabriel/shock-the-monkey]}
"Shock The Monkey" is sometimes mistaken as a song about shock therapy, but Gabriel has said it is a song about jealousy.
Gabriel used a number of cutting-edge electronic devices to create the backing track on this song and the rest of the Security album, including Fairlight CMI and Prophet 5 synthesizers and a LM-1 drum machine. He and his co-producer David Lord collected samples and generated sounds with the equipment, which they processed to make the rhythms. In the studio, drummer Jerry Marotta played in a manner dictated by how his drums could be processed, which meant avoiding cymbals and using a surdo drum instead of a kick. This song-making process - building from the rhythm up and using any means necessary to generate beats - was an innovative approach that resulted in a sound that could never be replicated."
Peter Gabriel - Shock The Monkey (Live in Athens 1987)
In October 1987 after many months on the road, it was in the elevated surroundings of the hillside open-air theatre at Lycabettus overlooking Athens, that the "So" tour came to a climactic close. The three nights were filmed in what was the first-ever Peter Gabriel concert to be committed to film. As a concert film, it was brilliantly shot and has now been equally brilliantly remastered, a crystal-clear record of Gabriel and band in their mid-80s pomp.

Shock The Monkey written by Peter Gabriel
Lyrics
Cover me, when I run
Cover me, through the fire
Something knocked me out the trees
Now I'm on my knees
Cover me, darling please
Hey-ey-ey-ey-ey
Monkey, monkey, monkey
Don't you know you're going to shock the monkey?
Hey, hey
Fox the fox
Rat on the rat
You can ape the ape
I know about that
There is one thing you must be sure of
I can't take any more
Darling, don't you monkey with the monkey!
Hey-ey-ey-ey-ey
Monkey, monkey, monkey
Don't you know you're going to shock the monkey?
Hey, hey
Shock the monkey
Hey-ey-ey-ey-ey
Monkey
Wheels keep turning
Monkey
Something's burning
Monkey
Don't like it but I guess I'm learning
Shock!
Shock!
Shock!
Watch the monkey get hurt
Monkey
Shock!
Shock!
Shock!
Watch the monkey get hurt
Monkey
Cover me, when I sleep
Cover me, when I breathe
You throw your pearls before the swine
Make the monkey blind
Cover me, darling please
Hey-ey-ey-ey-ey
Monkey, monkey, monkey
Don't you know you're going to shock the monkey?
Hey, hey
Shock the monkey
Hey-ey-ey-ey-ey
Monkey
Too much at stake
Oh monkey
Ground beneath me shake
Monkey
And the news is breaking...
Shock!
Shock!
Shock!
Watch the monkey get hurt, monkey
Shock!
Shock!
Shock!
Watch the monkey get hurt, monkey
Shock the monkey!
Shock the monkey!
Shock the monkey!
Hey, hey
Shock the monkey!
(Shock the monkey to life)
(Shock the monkey to life)
(Shock the monkey to life)
(Shock the monkey to life)
(Shock the monkey to life)
Huh, huh, huh
