This track has such a strong message, and lyrics, in such an iconic album. With so much emotion, and sorta story this has to be one of their best tracks, and a track that will literally get stuck in your head for years and years to come. Literally one of Genesis' most underrated, and legendary hits. They'll be nothing like Genesis' or Phil Collins for sure. A Legendary masterpiece that is so extremely underrated, and filled with emotion. Despite mixed reviews in my opinion, Every track has a meaning to tell, and that's what makes this album so great. One of my favorite all-time Genesis songs, and one that brings many memories. Truly one of a kind. "Driving the last spike". Masterpiece! 💙👑

Lyrics to this Masterpiece: 💙👑 Leaving my family behind me Not knowing what lay ahead Waving goodbye, as I left them in tears Remembering all we'd said I looked to the sky, I offered my prayers I asked Him for guidance and strength But the simple beliefs of a simple man Lay in His hands, and on my head My head I gave everything that they wanted But still they wanted more We sweat and we toiled Good men lost their lives I don't think they knew what for I sold them my heart I sold them my soul I gave everything I had But they couldn't break my spirit My dignity fought back Fightback Just fightback Can you hear me Can you see Don't you hear me Don't you see We worked in gangs for all we were worth The young boys pulling the wagons We were digging the tunnels, shifting the earth It was then that it happened No-one knew how the cracks appeared But as it fell they all disappeared Stone fell like rain Can you hear me Can you see Don't you hear me Can you breathe The smoke cleared, the dust it settled No one knew how many had died All around there were broken men They'd said it was safe, and they'd lied You could hear the cries, you could smell the fear But good fortune that day was mine And it occurred to me that the heart of a good man It seems is hard to find Can you hear me Can you see Don't you hear me Don't you see How we worked, how we worked like The devil for our pay Through the wind, through the snow And through the rain Blasting and cutting through Gods country like a knife Sweat stinging my eyes, there has to be a better life But I can hear my children's cry I can see the tears in their eyes Memories of those I've left behind Oh just still ringing in my ears Will I ever go back again Will I ever see her face again 'cause I'll always remember that night As they waved goodbye to their fathers We came from the North And we came from the South With picks and with spades And a new kind of order Showing no fear of what lies up ahead They'll never see the likes of us again Driving the last spike Lifting and laying the track With blistering hands And the sun burning your back But I can hear my children's cry I can see the tears in their eyes Oh memories of those I've left behind Still ringing in my ears 'cause I'll always remember that night As they waved goodbye to their fathers We followed the rail, we slept under the stars Digging in darkness and living with danger Showing no fear of what lies up ahead They'll never see the likes of us again Can you hear me Can you see Don't you hear me Don't you see

Phil Collins: I remember this book _["The Railway Navvies" by Terry Coleman]_ which I was sent by Dennis Waterman actually, because he was going to make a film of it and he sent me the book 'cos he wanted me to be in it, but er... the work that these guys did on the railway - to make the English railways - it's a very touching story because they left their families, and some of them never went home again. Some of them died very young because of the amazing conditions they were living and working in, and the accidents they had would've been horrific. And even if they did survive, they'd have a strain on their backs, you know, the physical strain of doing their job. It was just quite incredible, so I've written the words based on that - based on one person's view - you know, leaves his family not knowing if he's gonna go back, he goes to work on the railways and witnesses this horrendous accident, and the deceit - it was the people who were in charge of building the railways didn't really care - I mean they were all hush-hush on the deaths on the railways; if you weren't in that community you didn't know about it. So there's that shock of finding out that no-one really cared about it, and the fact that the guys were really a breed unto themselves, and he eventually becomes hardened to the whole thing. So, it's a ten-minute song so there's four pages of words. -From the documentary _Genesis: No Admittance_ (1991)

What a masterpiece! There is a relentless, pounding energy in this epic song after that starts after the third chorus which leaves me in awe every time I listen to it. When Phil continues to sings "Oh we worked, we worked like the devil for our pay..." the faster, regular beat of the song resembles the rhythmic sound of a steam locomotive, as if the first train is already approaching behind the workers, driving them ahead to finish the track. It's somewhat sad this song made it into a radio edit, never gained the popularity it deserves, it was just too long to be cut down for mass consumption. What a story it told!
