Genesis', "Tonight Tonight Tonight"
The Song Lyrics:
I'm going down, going down, like a monkey, ooh but it's alright
Try to pick yourself up, carry that weight that you cant see
Don't you know it's alright
It's like a helter skelter, going down and down, round and round
But just get it away from me - oh.
Try to pick yourself up, carry that weight that you cant see
Don't you know it's alright
It's like a helter skelter, going down and down, round and round
But just get it away from me - oh.
Song They Mention:
"Carry that Weight" and "Helter Skelter", both by the Beatles. An indirect reference to "Everyone's got Something to Hide ('cept for Me and my Monkey)" also seems to be there.
