Thanks to the help of from Paul, Alex, Alan and others at the Facebook group; Genesis 50+ Years, here we can finally answer the question: How many ‘pools’ are there in Genesis lyrics anyway?
The word ‘pool’ is mentioned 13 times; from 8 songs.
1. Stagnation 1970
Wait, there is still time for washing in the pool
2. Happy the Man
Like a fool in the pool – I’m incredibly cool
3. Supper’s Ready 1972
A young figure sits still by a pool
4. The Lamia 1975
Inside, a long rose-water pool is shrouded by fine mist.
Rael welcome, we are the Lamia of the pool.
5. Squonk 1976
A pool of bubbles and tears, just a pool of tears Just a pool of tears
6. Ripples 1976
While you’re down a pool appears. Look into the pool Look into the pool
7. Paperlate 1982
Just sitting dripping in pools below
8. I Can’t Dance 1991
I never thought so much could happen just shooting pool
