Forums » Peter Gabriel » Question about The Lamb lyrics

Hi there I need clarification on those elaborate sections which detail the plot that the actual lyrics are either preceded by, or interspersed with. At least that's how things are on most lyrics websites. I assume they were originally included in the booklet and should be credited to Peter, but since I don't own the "tangible" album, I can't verify this. I'm about to lecture on The Lamb and I need to refer to those passages to illustrate my point, so in order to live up to academic standards I should probably know what it is that I actually base on Thanks a lot

I have the original LP and at the end of the (slightly Joycean & Lewis-Carrollian) story it reads: Copyright Peter Gabriel, 1974. Hope it helps.

Thanks Caste, thanks Ezri What a treat this link of yours is. As of now, I just browsed through the text, but since my presentation is in a month's time, I'll surely make time to take a look at it more thoroughly.
