Take a trip take a ride
Through Darktown don't be shy
Gather by the clocktower take your seats
Glad you're here it's for keeps
Festering wounds from years gone by
Toxic waste you buried inside
In Darktown
Take a turn step on down
Through an alleyway you'll find
By the backstreet trash resides
The underworld you tried to hide
And from a dark corner where walls loom high
You'll hear the sound of a small child's cry
In Darktown
Legions of hate schools of fear
Proudly accomplished their mission here
A hidden agenda behind the eyes
For the gifted ones they most despised
They couldn't do it in the X-rated world
But presided over the boys and girls
In Darktown
It's all on camera it's all on film
On the couch in the shower
The stains are there still
Drink to the ones who dished out the marks
Rabid animals right from the start
It's happy hour shut the beasts away
Come along children it's time to play
In Darktown
The lyrics DARKTOWN of STEVE HACKETT is also present in the album Darktown (1999)
Steve Hackett (nato Stephen Richard Hackett il 12 ottobre 1951) è un chitarrista, cantante e compositore britannico, considerato uno dei pilastri del rock progressivo. Dopo aver iniziato a suonare la chitarra all'età di sette anni, si è fatto notare per le sue abilità tecniche e melodiche. Nel 1971 ha sostituito Anthony Phillips nei Genesis, contribuendo alla band con un sound più strumentale e virtuosistico. Con i Genesis ha inciso otto album di grande successo, tra cui "Selling England by the Pound", "The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway" e "A Trick of the Tail". Nel 1977, dopo una serie di divergenze creative, Hackett ha lasciato i Genesis per intraprendere la carriera solista. La sua musica solista è caratterizzata da un approccio fusion che fonde elementi di rock progressivo, jazz, world music e classica. Tra i suoi album più noti figurano "Spectral Mornings", "Voyage of the Acolyte" e "Defector". Hackett continua a registrare e esibirsi in tutto il mondo, mantenendo una fedele base di fan grazie alla sua tecnica chitarristica impeccabile e alla sua capacità di creare atmosfere evocative. Alcuni dei suoi brani più rappresentativi sono: "Every Day", "Narnia", "Clocks - The Angel of Mons".
