Really the sleeve explains it all

In the front sleeve everyrthing is magic



- The old lady looks at the mirror and she is a beautiful maiden
- The crook from RA&B is still free surrounded by an inept cop

 
- The kids are in a a magical word of tales
- The Squonk is alive
- The Mad Man Moon is throwing magic powder

But in the inner sleeve everything is a trick of the eye




- The old lady looks at the mirror and sees an old lady
- The kids are bored
- The crook is captured
- The moon is covered by clouds
- The Squonk is dead

Very poetic if you think it

Talking of Genesis, which of their songs references a well-known boy band?

Well this has been an eye opening thread.   . . . and by eye opening, I'm of course referring to waxing the dolphin.

It's possible to see a sexual subtext in everything (Close to the Edge - the moment before orgasm; Thick as a Brick - an extreme erection etc).  I know that this thread is just a p*ss take.  But, if you look closely at the lyrics of Squonk. there does seem to be something going on.
The opening line, 'Like father like son.' Possibly introduces a male sexual identity.  The word father automatically connotes a sexual identity because man has to have sex to become a father (in the traditional sense).  Saying the son is like the father therefore confers this sexual identity to the son.  The song is therefore about sexual awakening.

'Not flesh nor fish nor bone'  This is an obvious reference to female genitalia from a male point of view.  It fits with Jacques Lacan's theories of castration complex (based on Freud's earlier theories).  The vagina represents an absence and is therefore a symbol of castration.  In the song the vagina is described in terms of what it is not (note the repetition of the negation).

'A red rag hangs from an open mouth' - The focus on the vagina becomes much more explicit here - the red rag is presumably a reference to the clitoris.

'Alive at both ends but a little dead in the middle' Is clearly a reference to an erection.  The middle points to the groin area.  The penis is now erect and its stiffness is corpse-like.

'A-tumbling and a-bumbling he will go'. The word tumble is a colloquialism for sex (as you will all know).

'Scared to be left on his own / Hasn't a, hasn't a friend to play with the Ugly Duckling' - Once he has discovered sex, there is now an insatiable desire.  The hesitation here shows a typical pubescent stutter. Ugly Duckling is reference to self loathing (possibly our nascent lothario feels self contempt after indulging in masturbation).

'But if you don't stand up you don't stand a chance.' Clearly a reference to sexual virility.

'Go a little faster now, you might get there in time.' A build up to a sexual climax.  'get there' means to arrive, which is a synonym of 'come' (colloquialism for ejaculation).

And on it goes.....

One of the most obvious lines in the song is: 'The hunter enters the forest'.  To 'enter' is a synonym for to 'penetrate'.  The forest is a reference to pubic hair.  It then goes on to say 'who can blow the huntsman's horn' one of the most obvious references to fellatio.

There are so many such references in the song that it is impossible not to see a sexual subtext.  And what about the title of the song itself, Squonk.  This is clearly a blend of squelch (an onomatopoeic word echoing the noise of the sexual act) and bonk (a British colloquialism for sex).  Yes the word Squonk clearly means squelchy bonk.  No wonder it ends with 'a pool of bubbles and tears' (and probably lots of tissue too).

Lurid and distasteful. I feel the need to rinse my eyeballs out with liquid Prell. Check, please!

^^ Yeah, well, that's really heavy, Mahn. I never interpreted the lyrics from that angle.
