Yeah this is mad, but I love this classic Genesis song. Very inventive music and those weird lyrics...
Apparently they are based on the picture Genesis used as the cover for their Selling England By The Pound album:

THE LYRICS
Its one o'clock and time for lunch ----------------------------
When the sun beats down and I lie on the bench, I can always hear them talk
There's always been Ethel: "Jacob, wake up! You've got to tidy your room now."
And then Mr Lewis: "Isn't it time that he was out on his own?"
Over the garden wall, two little lovebirds - cuckoo to you! Keep them mowing blades sharp
I know what I like, and I like what I know
Getting better in your wardrobe, stepping one beyond your show
Sunday night, Mr Farmer called, said: "Listen son, you're wasting time
There's a future for you in the fire escape trade. Come up to town!"
But I remembered a voice from the past; "Gambling only pays when you're winning."
I had to thank old Miss Mort for schooling a failure, keep them mowing blades sharp
I know what I like, and I like what I know
Getting better in your wardrobe, stepping one beyond your show
I know what I like, and I like what I know
Getting better in your wardrobe, stepping one beyond your show
When the sun beats down and I lie on the bench, I can always hear them talk
Me, I'm just a lawnmower - you can tell me by the way I walk

So, what do you think??
I know what I like (in your wardrobe) thread
