Dancing With The Moonlit Knight - Genesis, Phil Collins, Peter Gabriel

Can you tell me where my country lies

Said the unifaun to his true love’s eyes

It lies with me!

cried the queen of maybe

— for her merchandise, he traded in his prize

Paper late!

cried a voice in the crowd

Old man dies!

the note he left was signed old father thames

— it seems he’s drowned;

Selling England by the pound

Citizens of hope & glory

Time goes by — it’s the time of your life

Easy now, sit you down

Chewing through your wimpey dreams

They eat without a sound;

Digesting england by the pound

Young man says you are what you eat — eat well

Old man says you are what you wear — wear well

You know what you are, you don’t give a damn;

Bursting your belt that is your homemade sham

The captain leads his dance right on through the night

— join the dance…

Follow on!

till the grail sun sets in the mould

Follow on!

till the gold is cold

Dancing out with the moonlit knight

Knights of the green shield stamp and shout

There’s a fat old lady outside the saloon;

Laying out the credit cards she plays fortune

The deck is uneven right from the start;

And all of their hands are playing apart

The captain leads his dance right on through the night

— join the dance…

Follow on!

a round table-talking down we go

You’re the show!

Off we go with — you play the hobbyhorse

I’ll play the fool

We’ll tease the bull

Ringing round & loud, loud & round

Follow on!

with a twist of the world we go

Follow on!

till the gold is cold

Dancing out with the moonlit knight

Knights of the green shield stamp and shout
