I have just re-listened to Supper's Ready and I looked at the lyrics and some interpretations of the song's meaning.
Now I still don't rate it as a tune. Musically it holds little interest for me.
But what I found was that the lyrics, and the story behind them, and the way the band used to interpret the song live, IS very interesting to say the least.
To say I was surprised is an understatement.
I just wish the music matched the cleverness of the lyrics. I mean later Genesis songs (I don't know the albums) I find appealing musically and lyrically.
If Supper's Ready was a poem I would admire it. I DO admire the lyrics now I have read them and know some of the backstory.
Just thought I would mention this. I don't want to appear like a complete Luddite.
