Genesis - The Cinema Show Lyrics






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?

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.
But 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.
But there is in fact more earth than sea.

    Genesis is rock music's crown jewel!

  11. N.... b....

    Some months ago I have named my three puppy-dogs: Ruby Tuesday, Sergent Pepper, and the brown one "CHOCOLATE SURPRISE" or CHOC from this song

  16. G.... M....

    Rock progres by Genesis from England .From Italian Le Orme and PFM

  17. C.... V....

    One of the most extraordinary progressive groups along with the Emerson Lake and Palmer and of course the Pink Floyd!

  18. l.... m....

    I bet this must be amazing heard live

  19. R.... S....

    One of my all time favourite albums. The intro is like a track God would play while you're on your way to heaven. The diction in the singing is so English not American. Gives you a pure taste of a British band.

  20. N.... F....

    A melhor banda de todos os tempos.

  21. g.... d....

    uno dei pezzi piu' belli dei Genesis.

  22. d.... s....

    [Verse 1]
    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

    [Verse 2]
    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?

    [Bridge]
    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
    But there is in fact more earth than sea


    [Interlude: Flute & oboe / Vocal harmonies]

    [Bridge]
    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
    But there is in fact more earth than sea

    [Instrumental interlude: Synthesizer solo]

  27. R.... C....

    Percussion like nothing on earth

  28. R.... C....

  32. P.... M....

    If I'm ever to be wheeled off in ambulance I'd just love it to be with the siren sounding as at 6 minutes and at 10.40 and beyond.

  33. P.... S....

  58. d.... g....

    Fell in love with this song since the first day, like Romeo...43 years ago up today.

  59. B.... ....

    LOVE
    In a private mood
    I found
    memories ..
    Beneath the crumpled , I suppose?,
    Love as gentle as a Rose ,
    Delicate as a feathered plume ,
    As sentiment
    In Clare de Lune ..
    I offer reference to the wise ,
    I found love within her eyes..
    And captured in a Summer shower
    She entered hope, just like a flower ,
    I held her hand in empathy ,
    In dreams of hope , she walks with me,
    No greater feeling can I find ,
    As I walk in Summer in my mind ,
    Meet me by the the stars so bright ?,
    That flicker gently in this night ,
    I love you more than Lark or Crane ,
    Or Neptune's rise in silken rain ,
    Of God's or promises they make,
    Delicate Swan's upon the Lake,
    For in my emotion this is true ,
    I know now , that I am you..
    Delashwood Sudsey

  60. P.... ....

    Peter Gabriel or Phil Collins, who was best.

    the purest progressive rock in it's purest form. No words.

  79. F.... V....

    Oh my gfg! Geniuses

  80. C.... ....

    fukushima!

  81. S.... s....

    Anyone here from insta?

  82. 1.... ....

    Che musica celestiale!!!!

  83. L.... D....

    Meravigliosi Genesis!

  84. v.... ....

    Steve Hackett said in an interview, that he believed that this album was made at the point where Genesis reached the pinnacle of its creativity. All of the members were totally on the same page and clicking together. After that things disintegrated somewhat. IMO there was still plenty of great music created afterwards.

  85. G.... B....

    ..da brividi..!

  86. M.... M....

    I would like to hear from the 352 people that went to the trouble of giving a thumbs down to this song. I mean, seriously?

    M.... M....

    they just a bunch of idiots...dont bother yourself to think about them

  87. a.... ....

    Capolavoro!

  88. f.... c....

    Genesis music that touch's some thing inside me is the genesis music I love

  89. f.... c....

    I love genesis master pieces but hate their pop dittys

  90. v.... b....

    No one is going to tell you it's wrong. You can even get with Alice. And pepe won't bother you anymore

  91. v.... b....

    Tommy Dick Harry and Mikey pick whichever skin pigment you like

  92. T.... H....

    Superb drums from Mr Collins!

  93. R.... R....

    Engel Gabriel.❤

  94. h.... b....

    Para mi opinión una de las mejores composiciones de Genesis

  95. F.... W....

    One of the most underated albums of all time

    F.... W....

    It's certainly not underrated. I believe the term you're looking for is underacknowledged, especially nowadays after getting lost behind the flood of popular music. Most people don't even get the chance or opportunity to listen to this, but those who know about it and keep returning are people who most appreciate it, and I'm sure they rate it very highly. I know I do.

  96. j.... n....

    70 years young and this still does it for me!

  97. P.... T....

    suffocated

  98. P.... T....

    sounds too boxy
