Dance With The Moonlit Knight Lyrics - Genesis

"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 Wimpey dreams 

They eat without a sound 

Digesting England by the pound

NEW SONG: Blink-182 - 'Happy Days' Lyrics 

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 a part 

The Captain leads his dance right on through the night 

Join the dance 

Follow on! 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 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
