Standard bearers match to the tick of the clock
It's a war against time when you're fronting the flock
Determined resolute defiant and strong
Noble and Savage know they belong
In the heart of the city
The battlefield of love a ruffled feathered bed
From fluid moist lips the benediction's said
You love them and leave them with yesterday's guilt
Everything's on schedule in the empire that you built
In the heart of the city
You close a deal Thursday at 7.45
The train home is empty you're the only man alive
You throw away your clothes in a house of clouds
The window is sealed the furniture in shrouds
In the heart of the city
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".
