I'd Rather Be You - Genesis

You know I never wanted to be closer

And I’ll still be here until it’s over

I never wanted to be closer

But you’ll be back I could’ve told you

Well I always knew

Yes I could see it coming

Your ambitious streak

You always want things beyond your reach

Well now you’ve got what you wanted

And you’re free to be the things

You always said you’d be

You’re up there looking down

Tell me what do you see?

Cos you know I never wanted to be closer

And I’ll still be here until it’s over

I never wanted to be closer

But you’ll be back I could’ve told you

Well it seems to me

That you’ve got to fight for yourself

In this world we live in

It’s dog eat dog and never give in

While … are holding the aces

Don’t throw it away cos you know

I’d rather be you than me

Up there looking down

Tell me what do you see?

(keyboard solo)

Hey hey yeah

You know I never wanted to be closer

And I’ll still be here until it’s over

I never wanted to be closer

But you’ll be back I could’ve told you

It’s been a long time coming

But at last we seem to be moving on

Straight ahead

We’re finally getting something done

Time flies and before you know it

You’ll be getting closer to where

You always knew you’d be

You’re up there looking down

Tell me what do you see?

You know I never wanted to be closer

And I’ll still be here until it’s over

I never wanted to be closer

But you’ll be back I could’ve told you
