Paroles: Genesis. Dancing With The Moonlight Knight.

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 and Glory, time goes by
It's 'the time of your life', easy now, sit you down
Chewing through your Wimpy 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
Layin' out the credit cards, she plays fortune
The deck is uneven right from the start
And all of their hands are playin' apart

The captain leads his dance right on through the night
Join the dance

Follow on, a round table-talkin' down we go
You're the show, off we go with
You play the hobby horse, I'll play the fool
We'll tease the bull
Ringin' 'round and loud, loud and '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
