Answers:
The song is "Lurker" by Genesis!.

According to Tony Banks who wrote the song!.!.!. "there is no real soltuion!. You can search for your own one if you like!. It was a bit of a joke!. When I was writing it I honestly didn't really have a specific idea in mind!. If you can find out what the answer is, perhaps you can tell me!"

But, the most common solution that has come up is a submarine!.

Cloths of brass, hair of brown!.!.!. Brass is a common nautical metal and submarines will drag brown seaweed resembing hair

Seldom need to breathe!.!.!. obvious

Don't need no wings to fly!.!.!.!.!. through the water

A heart of store !.!.!.!.!. Nuclear fuel

A fear of fire and water!.!.!. again obvious!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

Clothes of brass: Brass is a staple of the nautical world, for its resistence to corrosion!. The use of the word conjures up more 2000 Leagues Under The Sea images than those of a nuclear powered submarine, but nevertheless the association of brass with the sea is inescapable!.

Hair of brown: When submarines surface, they have all sorts of seaweeds and camouflage on the deck that is exposed to the sky!.

Seldom need to breathe: Submarines carry their own air supply, and do not often need to resurface!.

Don't need no wings to fly: Of course not, it "flies" through the ocean!.

And a heart of stone: Uranium, the stone that powers the nuclear reactor!.

And a fear of fire and water: The two most deadliest things that can happen to a submarine!. Water means a hull breach, and pressure loss, and everyone dies!. Fire means all the oxygen aboard burns and everyone dies!.

The final proof that the answer to the riddle is, truly, a submarine lies in the music!. The working titles for Dodo and Lurker were German I and II!. As in German U-boats, because the music itself doesn't sound Germanic!. If you listen to Dodo, Lurker, and Submarine back to back, you will find that Lurker has some of the exact same drum lines, and Lurker ends on the same music that Submarine begins!. Like the suites of thematically related music in A Trick Of The Tail and Wind and Wuthering, this is yet another case of Genesis splicing and dicing a long track of related music into separate parts scattered all over the place!."
