Buenas. A proposito de lo comentado por Daniel Rosales sobre este tema
de Genesis, queria que todos supieran que circula por la www un
documento llamado "The Genesis Discography". Este documento tiene casi
500 paginas! Ademas de listar todo tipo de disco editado por
Genesis, sus solistas o bandas paralelas, tiene una seccion en la
cual hay algunos comentarios respecto a algunas canciones en particular.
Pues bien, Daniel, parece que la letra de Ripples la escribio
Rutherford y dice el documento lo siguiente:

"Mike Rutherford said blue girls are "another term for school girls in
blue uniforms". He continues

about the lyrics, "I ended up writing this really obscene set of lyrics
for 'Ripples', and I sang those

until I wrote the final version. I'd never show them to anyone; they
were too kinky."

The line about the face that launched a thousand ships is another
literary reference. This is a line

from Christopher Marlowe's "The Tragical History Of Dr. Faustus"

The original line is:

"Was this the face that launched a thousand ships,

And burnt the topless towers of Ilium?"

Y respecto a la trivia de The lamb, dice...

"They say the lights are always bright on Broadway.

They say there's always magic in the air."

[These last two lines are a direct quote from "On Broadway", a classic
Drifters song.]

El documento en cuestion se puede bajar de
