I always liked the lyrics to The Lamia. A bit dark, but also very poetic and beautifully descriptive.
Honourable mentions to Fountain of Salmacis, Ripples & One for the Vine. |

Mad Man Moon is a nice simple poem---not too abstract but very nice.

i know whats carpet crawlers is about. It about how people try to follow the dreams/ goals given to them. They are like babys that don't know what they want to do with their lives. if you don't find this explanation good you can go here https://songmeanings.com/songs/view/1641/

Two have already been mentioned (Carpet Crawlers and Blood On The Rooftops) but The Knife always appealed to me lyrically as well.

Home By The Sea is an awesome, novel story.
Supper's Ready is like an acid trip dosed incorrectly. The Battle of Epping Forest, for me, is the most visual description of "WTF is happening" that Peter Gabriel ever penned IMHO. I think this is why so many hate it, besides how long a track it is LOL. Imagery overload! Short fat tuxedo wearing men climbing up trees with sling shots full of acorns, local businesses settling vendettas, a clean up crew and the rich judges showing up by limo too late to find only "goo" remaining, lmao.

Mad Man Moon..
'Within the valley of shadowless death They pray for thunderclouds and rain,But to the multitude who stand in the rain Heaven is where the sun shines. The grass will be greener till the stems turn to brown And thoughts will fly higher till the earth brings them down. Forever caught in desert lands one has to learn To disbelieve the sea.'
