"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; 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 and 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.

Steve Hackett (nato Stephen Richard Hackett il 12 ottobre 1951) è un chitarrista, cantante e compositore britannico, considerato uno dei pilastri del rock progressivo. Dopo aver iniziato a suonare la chitarra all'età di sette anni, si è fatto notare per le sue abilità tecniche e melodiche. Nel 1971 ha sostituito Anthony Phillips nei Genesis, contribuendo alla band con un sound più strumentale e virtuosistico. Con i Genesis ha inciso otto album di grande successo, tra cui "Selling England by the Pound", "The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway" e "A Trick of the Tail". Nel 1977, dopo una serie di divergenze creative, Hackett ha lasciato i Genesis per intraprendere la carriera solista. La sua musica solista è caratterizzata da un approccio fusion che fonde elementi di rock progressivo, jazz, world music e classica. Tra i suoi album più noti figurano "Spectral Mornings", "Voyage of the Acolyte" e "Defector". Hackett continua a registrare e esibirsi in tutto il mondo, mantenendo una fedele base di fan grazie alla sua tecnica chitarristica impeccabile e alla sua capacità di creare atmosfere evocative. Alcuni dei suoi brani più rappresentativi sono: "Every Day", "Narnia", "Clocks - The Angel of Mons".
