Programme note
'A Trick of the Tail' is the title track on the 1976 album by English progressive rock group Genesis. The group’s keyboard player Tony Banks wrote the song. The lyrics of the song were inspired by the 1955 novel 'The Inheritors' by William Golding and focuses on a character named the "Beast" who leaves his own kingdom and enters the realm of humans by whom he is captured. His captors release him in return for leading them to his world. However, just as they see what appears to be a "spire of gold", they find that the Beast has disappeared, though they do hear his voice.
