Genesis - Supper Is Ready

i. LOVER'S LEAP

Walking across the sitting-room, I turn the television off
Sitting beside you, I look into your eyes
As the sound of motor cars fades in the night time
I swear I saw your face change, it didn't seem quite right
...And it's hello babe with your guardian eyes so blue
Hey, my baby don't you know our love is true?

Coming closer with our eyes, a distance falls around our bodies
Out in the garden, the moon seems very bright
Six saintly shrouded men move across the lawn slowly
The seventh walks in front with a cross held hight in hand
...And it's hello babe your supper's waiting for you
Hey my baby, don't you know our love is true?

I've been so far from here
Far from your warm arms
It's good to feel you again
It's been a long, long time. Hasn't it?

ii. THE GUARANTEED ETERNAL SANCTUARY MAN

I know a farmer who looks after the farm
With water clear, he cares for all his harvest
I know a fireman who looks after the fire

You, can't you see he's foold you all
Yes, he's here again, can't you see he's fooled you all.
Share his peace,
sign the lease
He's a supersonic scientist
He's the guaranteed eternal sanctuary man
Look, look into my mouth he cries
And all the children lost down many paths
I be my life you'll walk inside
Hand in hand
Gland in gland
With a spoonful of miracle
He's the guaranteed eternal sanctuary man
We will rock you, rock you little snake
We will keep you snug and warm

iii. IKHNATON AND ITSACON AND THEIR BAND OF MERRY MEN

Wearing feeling on our faces when faces took a rest
We walked acrossed the field to see the children of the West
But we saw a host of dark skinned warriors
standing still below the ground
Waiting for battle

The fight' begun, they've been released
Killinf foe for peace...bang, bang, bang. Bang, bang, bang.
And they're giving me a wonderful potion
'Cos I cannot contain my emotion
And even though I'm feeling good
Something tells me I'd better activate my prayer capsule
Today's a day to celebrate, the foe have met their fate
The order for rejoicing and dancing has come from our warlord

iv. HOW DARE I BE SO BEAUTIFUL?

Wandering through the chaos the battle has left
We climb upon the mountain of human flesh
To a plateau of green grass, and green trees full of life
A young figure sits still by the pool
He's been stamped human bacon by some butchery tool.
(he is you)
Social security took care of this lad
We watch in reverence, s Narcissus is turned to a flower
A flower?

v. WILLOW FARM

If you go down to Willow Farm
to look for butterflies, flutterbyes, gutterflies
Open your eyes, it's full of surprise, everyone lies
like the focks on the rocks
and the musical box.

Oh, there's mum & dad, and good and bad
and everyone's happy to be here.

There's Winston Churchill dressed in drag
he used to be a British flag, plastic bag, what a drag
The frog was a prince, the prince was a brick, the brick was an
egg, and the egg was a bird
Fly away you sweet little thing
Hadn't you heard
They're going to change you into a human being
Yes, we're happy as fish and gorgeous as geese
and wonderfully clean in the morning

We've got everything, we're growing everything
We've got some in
We've got some out
We've got some wild things floating about
Everyone, we're changing everyone
you name them all
We've had them here
And the real stars are still to appear

ALL CHANGE!

Feel your body melt
Mum to mud to mad to Dad
Dad diddley office, Dad diddley office
You're all full of ball

Dad to dam to dum to Mum
Mum diddley washing, Mum diddley washing
You're all full of ball

Let me hear you lies, we're living this up to the eyes
Ooee-ooee-ooee-oowaa
Momma I want you now

And as you listen to my voice
To look for hidden doors, tidy floors, more applause
You've been here all the time
Like it or not, like what you got
You're under the soil
(the soil, the soil, the soil)
Yes, deep in the soil
(the soil, the soil, the soil)
So we'll end with a whistle and end with a bang
and all of us fit in our places.

vi. APOCALYPSE IN 9/8 (CO-STARRING THE DELICIOUS TALENTS OF GABBLE
RATCHET)

With the guards of Magog swarming around
The Pied Piper takes his children underground.
The Dragon's coming out of the sea
with the shimmering silver head of wisdom lloking at me
He brings down the fire from the skies
You can tell he's doing well by the look of human eyes
You'd better not compromise
It won't be easy

666 is no longer alone
He's getting out the marrow in your back bone
And the seven trumpets blowing sweet rock and roll
Gonna blow right down inside your soul
Pythagoras with the looking glass reflects the full moon
In blood, he's writing the lyrics of a brand new tune

And it's hey babe, with your guardian eyes so blue
Hey my baby, don't you know our love is true
I've been so far from here,
Far from your loving arms,
Now I'm back again, and baby it's going to work out fine

vii. AS SURE AS EGGS IS EGGS (ACHING MAN'S FEET)

Can't you feel our souls ignite
Shedding ever changin colours in the darkness of the fading night
Like the river joins the ocean, as the germ in the seed grows
We have finally been freed to get back home

There's and angel standing in the sun, and he's crying with a loud
voice
"This is the supper of the mighty one,"
Lord of Lords
King of Kings
Has returned to take his children home
To take them to the new Jerusalem
