Gabriel on Genesis

“Me I am just a lawnmower….Hmmmmm…I’d have to look at the lyrics again to remember what the hell that was all about! …and Carpet Crawlers?….”Let me see I think that one was about religion-it was probably a reference to Islamic prayer the fact that there was this supplication, this sense you had to crawl and bring yourself to make an approach to some unwritten law. That was part of the secret-there’s a spiritual sojourn thread throughout” Peter Gabriel
