• so albümünden bir peter gabriel parçası. uzun adı 'this is the picture (excellent birds)'.
  laurie anderson ile beraber yazıp söylemişlerdir, klipte de beraberler. peter gabriel'in tuhaf şarkılarından biri. deneysel diyelim.
  sözleri şöyle:
  
  "flying birds
  excellent birds
  watch them fly, there they go
  
  falling snow
  excellent snow
  here it comes. watch it fall
  
  long words
  excellent words
  i can hear them now
  
  this is the picture, this is the picture
  
  i'm sitting by the window
  watching the snow fall
  i'm looking out
  and i'm moving, turning in time
  catching up, moving in
  jump up! i can land on my feet. look out!
  
  this is the picture, this is the picture
  
  looking out, watching out
  when i see the future i close my eyes
  i can see it now
  
  i see pictures of people, rising up
  pictures of people, falling down
  i see pictures of people
  they're standing on their heads, they're ready
  they're looking out, look out!
  they're watching out, watch out!
  they're looking out, look out!
  they're watching out, watch out!
  i see pictures of people.. "
