Genesis - Supper's Ready Lyrics

A flowers?

Try to listen the version of second's out.

Il rock progressivo aveva la velleita di creare un nuovo standard di musica classica. Secondo me sono state poche le band che sono riuscite nel loro intento e i Genesis in questa splendida suite ci sono riusciti. Ascoltare Supper's Ready anche 45 anni dopo, è sempre un 'esperienza intensa ed emozionante.

I was 18 yrs old at that time.Have the LP of course and sometimes I still enjoy this masterpiece!

among the other prog rock masterpieces like echoes, shine on, dogs by pink floyd, soon, close to the edge by yes, tarkus by elp, etc i think this is most brilliant one, this is both sonically superior and lyrically it's not even close. it's pinnacle of the genre, true definition of progressive rock and it's mixed with beautiful lyricism that takes it to another level.

I feel the same way about Yes Close to the Edge compared to this and all the songs you mentioned. These things will always be subjective lol

I feel like I've been on a journey

Touched by God.

INCREDIBLE. One wonders how this was written? How can a group of humans write something so amazing?

Música virtuosa

A very special piece of music. Many of the comments are right on. Five very talented young men capturing a sound and an attitude that hit hard for many of us in the seventies.
ALL CHANGE!

why is Apoc 9/8 in 9/4?

It's been a long long time...

It's been a long long time...

YouTube was stuttering tonight so I I was forced to get out the vinyl version. He's a guaranteed eternal sanctaury man.

MAGNIFIQUE

If you are a child of the '60s and 70's than you are blessed to know this or know about it. In High School I watched my Brother and his friends do a damm good cover of this. I learned drums play Watcher of the Sky. This Band is as good as Prog ever got. Thank god its still available.

Bumped this in priz

I want this song to play at my funeral.

Long funeral...

Peter Fraser Itd be pretty epic, though.

Ready'sss 4 Ever &

9.40... Sie verklingen fast..

Dann wird es still. Sie fassen sich wieder... 8.52....

Rohingha. Die kommen mit einer Rüge davon, weil die über sie Gericht sitzen, die es "angerichtet" haben.
7.50.... ff. es ist schrill.

und nicht nur eins!

Sie werden ein Blutbad anrichten, das Sie ernährt!

Masterpiece.

There will never, ever be a greater song written in the rock catalogue.

Friend of mine: Bohemian Rhapsody is the longest song of all time.


Me: Hold my Supper.

HAHAHAHAHAHA, Bohemian Rhapsody is such a very short song.

… "it's gonna blow right down inside your soul" ……...

*Friend and I taking turns picking songs*
Me- *Picks this song*

Its just THAT good!

Ask me what is bettta? Give me Phil with long Hairrrr.

Best 23 minutes of my life.

Phil Collins reprises the lyric "There's an angel standing in the sun, free to get back home" during the fade out on Los Endos on A Trick Of The Tail.

new JerusalEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEm

I loved this when I was 16, my friends all thought it was weird crap.

Masterpiece...simply don't have a words to explain my feelings...pure art

A flowers?

Masterpiece

F ME!!! I love every second of this. While every part of this is great on its own, it wouldn't work sequenced any differently!!!!

Who’s here from squidward completes the ritual?

(Pssst, it starts here ——> 21:50

Supper's Ready is an epic masterpiece about a young man's struggle to "score" with a well equipped woman. "A spoonful of joy" is unmistakenly one of the classic lines in a songtitle that seemingly makes references to a mum calling in the children to supper.

I know this: Genesis is very underrated as a prog-rock band.

Listen tonight love must replay

The greatest piece of music ever written

I saw God....!

I just like Peter Gabriel. Good Musicians.

This is an unbelievable masterpiece.

I first listened to this when i was 13 now i am 60 it still blows me away.

4:13 probably my favourite part.

In 1970 Phil n Steve made Genesis complete

16:12
In order for Trump to become President, he first had to become the Republican part nominee.

I've heard about this song for so many years, and now Ive finally listened to it.


I get it. I absolutely get it.

*SPOILERS*
I think the protagonist of 'Supper's Ready' dies halfway through the song, and 'Willow Farm' takes place in Purgatory. Genesis are no strangers to dark themes (e.g. The Musical Box), but if this idea is right then 'Supper's Ready' may be the most lyrically disturbing of all their songs.

The song opens with several movements that set the stage. Gorgeous, pastoral and melancholic. Satan makes his first appearance as the 'Guaranteed Eternal Sanctuary Man', a master trickster. Leaving home, the protagonist is involved in war preparations, and fights a glorious battle.

The protagonist is badly wounded. He is given the wonderful potion morphine, to help him 'contain' his screams of pain. Praying for his life ("something tells me I'd better activate my prayer capsule") in his final moments he experiences visions of climbing piles of corpses to a lush, Eden-like world. He sees his own body from afar ("it is you..."), and sinks irresistibly into another world.

After 'Iknaton and Itsacon' things get weird and hallucinatory, with the character's body melting into different forms, the repeated insistence 'You're deep in the soil' and ghostly choral lines. In this chaotic afterlife where the rules of physics and form no longer apply, they've got everyone who has ever died and passed through purgatory (or remain trapped there).

Sinister references to the 'wild things floating about' and the 'real stars still to appear' could be demonic beings, awaiting their time to emerge on Earth. When the Apocalypse (in 9/8) arrives, they unleash their polyrhythmic chaos on the world's inhabitants, as Satan (the pied piper) leads his children underground. Hellish scenes play out on Earth in ungodly time signatures, and the book of blood is written. All those lost souls in purgatory can do is hold on in good faith, and wait.

In the final section, the protagonist's faith is rewarded and he's reunited with his wife ("Hey Babe..."). The heavenly gates are open, the devil is vanquished, and the band play their arses off one last time.

Thanks for reading! I'd be interested to know your thoughts on this interpretation.

14:15 goosebumps

"Reiche" können auch in ferner Zukunft noch Fisch essen... Fleisch...
To mum. too dumm...zu dumm. Sie kommen zu spät!!!

Greta: Du hast etwas von einem "Time-Traveller". Kennst Du den Schwachsinn?
Diese Filme, in den man in der Vergangenheit erledigen muß, was in der Zukunft eine Katastrophe gewesen wäre....
Good Luck!j

... und für "Greta".
Du bist echt klarsichtig.

Björn-Hans "Ninifee" Dixgard and his Band.

"Es" heißt nicht "your guardian "ass" so "glue". Es heißt guaridan Eyes... so "Blue".
This one is for Björn.

21:10 Is the most timeless thing I've ever, ever heard.

I love the beginning of this

This fade away at the end could have been longer, a couple of minutes or so, maybe......?!

2:40 and 22:02 *Genius* musical connection

Thank you Genesis for massively enriching my life.

Every couple of years this becomes a song I listen to for *weeks*.

For the love of Art!

Their magnum opus.

When I was a young boy I listened to this song at least 150 times. Hopefully now I can add 150 more.

the day it came out. but i hadnt listened to it in several years until this month, and ONCE AGAIN it runs thru my head day and night...

I'm just gonna throw it out there anyway....
I think this is the BEST epic song EVER. I'm pretty sure that if more people were aware of it, the greater recognition it would receive in Best Song polls.
It's better than..........
Stairway to Heaven and Bohemian Rhapsody put together.

Supper's Ready is the greatest piece of music in the whole XX century.

Can somebody me explain why is this song less viewed than Despacito or any Ed Sheeran's?

Prog rock (and harmonic/musical complexity in general) is not the in-thing these days as far as pop/taste of the masses is concerned

i say this as neutrally as possible

One of the coolest things about this kind of music. Is that no one can ever do anything like this ever again. It's like Mozart or even better. You just can't do this now. A moment in time....

Happy Thanksgiving 2019 Suppers Ready!

[Lovers' 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 high in hand
...And it's hey 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?

[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 fooled 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 bet my life you'll walk inside
Hand in hand
Gland in gland
With a spoonful of miracle
He's the guaranteed eternal sanctuary
We will rock you, rock you little snake
We will keep you snug and warm

[Ikhnaton And Itsacon And Their Band Of Merry Men]

Wearing feelings on our faces while our faces took a rest
We walked across the fields 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's begun, they've been released
Killing 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

[How Dare I Be So Beautiful?]

Wandering through the chaos the battle has left
We climb up a mountain of human flesh
To a plateau of green grass, and green trees full of life
A young figure sits still by a 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, as Narcissus is turned to a flower
A flower?

[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 fox 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
The egg was a bird
(Fly away you sweet little thing, they're hard on your tail)
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)
Yes, deep in the soil (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

[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
Dragons coming out of the sea
Shimmering silver head of wisdom looking at me
He brings down the fire from the skies
You can tell he's doing well by the look in human eyes
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 babe it's gonna work out fine

[As Sure As Eggs Is Eggs (Aching Men's Feet)]

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

There's an 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 lead his children home
To take them to the new Jerusalem

It's a journey.....a painting......a piece of art.

never heard of this song until today.. Never knew it existed. Listened to pieces of it from different parts of the timestamp. Now I'd like to get back to not knowing this songs exists.. a better time.. back when I'd never heard of it. Total crap

Tom Herschler do u hear me

I had the record in 1975. Once in a while I have to listen. I went to Genesis in concert FOXTROT IN RIO when they sing the flower. A big flower opens up.

Questa non è musica è poesia

There’s an angel standing in the sun!

And he’s crying with a loud voice

“Jeffery Epstein didn’t kill himself!”

It's a 23 minute trip that feels like an amazing journey. Nothing as brilliant then or now. Just the best ever band EVER.

SUPPER'S READY ÜBERSETZUNG

Das Abendessen ist fertig

Ich gehe durch das Wohnzimmer und schalte den Fernseher aus.
Ich sitze mich neben dich und schaue in deine Augen.
Als das Motorgeräusch von Autos in der Nacht verblasst,
könnte ich schwören, dass sich dein Gesichtsausdruck verändert hat, er sah nicht ganz o.k. aus.
…Und es ist hallo Baby mit deinen so blauen Wächteraugen
Hallo mein Kleines weißt du nicht, dass unsere Liebe echt ist.

Als sich unsere Augen nähern, fällt eine Distanz auf unsere Körper.
Draußen im Garten scheint der Mond sehr hell,
Sechs frömmlerisch gebeugte Männer bewegen sich langsam über den Rasen.
Der siebte marschiert vornweg und hält ein Kreuz fest in der Hand.
..Und es ist hallo Baby dein Abendessen wartet auf dich.
Hallo mein Kleines, weißt du nicht dass unsere Liebe echt ist.

Ich war so weit weg von hier,
Weit von deinen warmen Armen.
Es tut gut dich wieder zu fühlen,
Es war eine lange, lange Zeit, nicht wahr?


Ich kenne einen Farmer, der sich um seine Farm kümmert.
Mit klarem Wasser sorgt er für seine Ernte.
Ich kenne einen Feuerwehrmann, der sich um das Feuer kümmert.

Kannst du denn nicht sehen, dass er euch alle zum Narren hält?
Ja, er ist wieder hier, könnt ihr nicht sehen, dass er euch alle auf den Arm nimmt.
Teilt seinen Frieden, unterzeichnet den Pachtvertrag.
Er ist ein Überschall-Wissenschaftler,
Er ist garantiert der ewige, heilige Mann.
Schaut, schaut auf meinen Mund, er schreit,
Und alle die Kinder kamen von vielen Pfaden ab,
Ich verwette mein Leben darauf, dass ihr eintreten werdet
Hand in Hand, Drüse in Drüse
Mit einem Löffel voll Wunder,
Er ist garantiert der ewige Heilige.
Wir werden dich wiegen, wiegen kleine Schlange,
Wir werden dich mollig warm halten.

Unsere Gesichter zeigten Gefühle, während sie eine Rast einlegten,
Wir wanderten über die Felder, um die Kinder des Westens zu sehen,
Aber wir eine Schar dunkler Krieger sahen,
die still unten auf dem Boden standen,
Und auf die Schlacht warteten.


Der Kampf hat begonnen, sie wurden losgelassen.
Den Feind für den Frieden zu töten….peng, peng, peng.
Und sie geben mir einen wundervollen Trank,
Da ich meine Erregung nicht beherrschen kann.
Und obwohl ich mich gut fühle,
Sagt mit irgendetwas, dass ich besser meine Hirnschale einschalten sollte.

Heute ist ein Tag zum Feiern, den Feind hat sein Schicksal ereilt.
Der Befehl zu jubeln und tanzen kam von unserem Kriegsherren.

Wir irren durch das Chaos, das die Schlacht hinterlassen hat,
Wir besteigen einen Berg aus menschlichem Fleisch,
Auf eine Hochebene aus grünem Gras und grünen Bäumen voller Leben.
Eine junge Gestalt sitzt ruhig an einem Teich,
Er wurde als „Menschlicher Speck“ von einem Metzgerwerkzeug gestempelt.
(Das bist du)
Die Sozialversicherung kümmerte sich um diesen Burschen.
Wir beobachten voller Ehrfurcht, wie Narziß in eine Blume verwandelt wird.
Eine Blume?

Wenn du zur Weidenfarm hinuntergehst,
um Schmetterlinge, Flatterlinge, Gutterlinge zu suchen,
Öffne deine Augen, sie ist voller Überraschungen, jeder lügt,
wie der Fuchs auf den Felsen,
und die Spieluhr.
Oh, Mama und Papa sind da und Gut und Böse,
und jeder ist glücklich hier zu sein.

Da ist Winston Churchill bekleidet mit einer Schleppe,
er pflegte eine britische Flagge zu sein, was für ein Langweiler.
Der Frosch war ein Prinz, der Prinz war ein Stein, der Stein war ein Ei,
das Ei war ein Vogel.
(Flieg weg du süßes, kleines Ding, sie sind hinter dir her)
Hattest du das nicht gehört?
(Sie werden dich in ein menschliches Wesen verwandeln!)
Ja, wir sind glücklich wie ein Fisch und stolz wie Gänse,
und herrlich sauber am Morgen.

Wir haben alles, wir bauen alles an,
Wir haben etwas drinnen
Wir haben etwas draußen
Wir haben einige wilde Dinge zum Herumtratschen
Jeden, wir ändern jeden,
du gibst ihnen allen einen Spitznamen,
Wir hatten sie hier,
Und die wirklichen Stars kommen noch.

ALLES UMSTEIGEN!

Fühle deinen Körper schmelzen:
Mamm zu Schlamm zu pappig zu Papa
Pappi ist im Büro, Pappi ist im Dienst,
Du hast einen Heidenspaß.

Daddy zu verdammt zu dumm zu Mama
Mammi macht die Wäsche, Mammi macht die Wäsche
Du bist voller Spaß.

Lass mich deine Lügen hören, wir glauben was unsere Augen sehen.
Ooee-ooee-ooee-oowaa
Mama ich will dich jetzt.

Und als du meiner Stimme zuhörst,
Um nach verborgenen Türen, sauberen Fußböden, mehr Applaus zu suchen
Warst du die ganze Zeit über hier,
Möge es oder nicht, liebe was du bekommst,
Du bist unter der Erde (der Erde, der Erde)
Ja, tief unter der Erde (der Erde, der Erde, der Erde, der Erde!).
Wir werden also mit einem Pfiff enden und sterben in einem Knall
Und wir alle gehören an unseren Platz.

Zusammen mit den umherschweifenden Wächtern von Magog,
Führt der Rattenfänger seine Kinder unter die Erde.
Drachen kommen aus der See,
Schimmernde, silberne Köpfe voller Weisheit schauen mich an.
Er holt das Feuer vom Himmel herunter,
Du kannst mit einem Blick in seine menschlichen Augen sehen, dass er es gut macht.
Mach besser keine Kompromisse.
Es wird nicht einfach.

666 ist nicht mehr allein,
Er holt dir das Mark aus deinem Rückrat,
Und die sieben Trompeten blasen süßen Rock’n Roll,
Blasen direkt hinein in deine Seele.
Pythagoras betrachtet im Spiegel den Vollmond,
In Blut schreibt er die Lyrik einer brandneuen Melodie.

Und es ist hallo Baby mit deinen blauen Wächteraugen,
Hallo mein Kleines, weißt du nicht, dass unsere Liebe echt ist,
Ich war so weit weg von hier,
Weg von deinen liebenden Armen,
Jetzt bin ich wieder zurück, und Baby es wird alles wieder gut.

Kannst du nicht spüren wie sich unsere Seelen entzünden
Ständig wechselnde Farben in die Dunkelheit der endenden Nacht vergießen,
Wie der Fluss in den Ozean mündet, wie der Keim in einer Saat wächst
Wurden wir schließlich befreit, um zurück nach Hause zu gehen.

Ein Engel steht in der Sonne, und ruft mit lauter Stimme,
„Das ist das Abendessen der Mächtigen“,
Herr der Herren,
Er ist zurückgekehrt, um seine Kinder nach Hause zu führen,
Um sie in ein neues Jerusalem zu bringen.

Dutch translation: "Het avondeten staat klaar".

I have been binging on Pink Floyd recently. Posting comments on here. How I thought The Wall and Animals were the greatest achievements in the history of Prog' Rock. Now after hearing this I am not so sure!

Pink floyd is fantastic! But this is on a higher level.

Utter genius, 23 minutes well spent. I can hear where Yes got their influence of "Gates of Delirium" from.

What I love about this prog epic is that it transforms so many times and still keep it so incredibly natural and smooth. Only Genesis and Yes I've seen who manage it this good

As an occasional shroom user, this is still after all these years a sonic orgasm

Nothing compares 2 U

What I really regret for me is the fact that I never heard Freddie Mercury singing live
But I heard Peter Gabriel. That's enough for paradise.

For me it is the other way around.

Für mich ist das das beste Lied von Genesis überhaupt. Einfach Genial.
