Part one of a rather whimsical and bizarre vision of the end of the world and the unlikely hero summoned to try and prevent it. In this part, the protagonist is warned about the end of the world.
lyrics
High on a mountain
Far from the sea
There lived an old man and he
He spoke to me
He said “Doom is coming... it's not good news
If we'd survive it there is one course to choose.
We need a man, a DIY hero
We need him quick before our chances are zero”
He said “Son, you better run quickly
I've seen the future and it's getting quite sickly
Stand up, no time! End of the world is nigh!”
Hey old man, why is doom so near?
Tell me just what it is you fear?
“His friends all call him 'Tim' but to his foes he is Baklawa Doom!”
Far from the mountain
When I got home
The old man left a voice-mail
Upon my phone
It said “Time is passing and the end is near
You'll find our hero down in South Gloucestershire”
He gave a name, he gave a street number
How he got mine I've no time to wonder

"There is lambswool under my naked feet..." - those words always come to my mind while listening to the first bars of "Wide Of The Mark". There's undoubtedly quite some "Genesis" heritage to be found in the music on this album. However, the band that is most closely related to "The ID" is certainly "IQ", which is among the favorite bands and artists named by both Peter Albrektsen (gtr, kbd) and Tim Pepper (v, kbd). So the similarity of the names "ID" vs. "IQ" is obviously not purely coincidental. Being a long-time admirer of the creative output of "IQ", this album inevitably reaches my heart. Sven B.
