Songtexte: Genesis. Selling England By The Pound. The Cinema Show.

Home from work our Juliet
Clears her morning meal
She dabs her skin with pretty smells
Concealing to appeal

I will make my bed
She said, but turned to go
Can she be late for her Cinema show?
Cinema show?

Romeo locks his basement flat
And scurries up the stair
With head held high and floral tie
A weekend millionaire

I will make my bed
With her tonight, he cries
Can he fail
Armed with his chocolate surprise ?

Take a little trip back with Father Tiresias
Listen to the old one speak of all he has lived through
I have crossed between the poles
For me there's no mystery

Once a man like the sea I raged
Once a woman like the earth I gave
And there is in fact more earth than sea

Take a little trip back with Father Tiresias
Listen to the old one speak of all he has lived through
I have crossed between the poles
For me there's no mystery

Once a man, like the sea I raged
Once a woman, like the earth I gave
And there is in fact more earth than sea
