OK can anyone give a synopsis of what Suppers Ready is about. Is it a ramble or is there method in the madness of the lyrics? ------------- There stands Olias to outward to build a ship Holding within all we hope to retain The frame will be so built to challenge the universe Clasped with the skins of the fish of the plain |

suppers ready is about a man reflecting on his past battles between good and evil....all subjective ofcourse. the whole piece is basicly explaining the changes withen him trough the years. after the first movement where he is already at peace and happy he starts to reflect on his spiritual journey which is basicly a downward that inevitably results in insanity( the part where everything "changes") after that he struggles with evil and ultamitly (as always) good prevails. Atleast thats my impression I could be wrong ------------- "He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water" John 7:38 |

The reason no one has answered you is because there is ALREADY a thread about 'Supper's Ready' being discussed... Sorry, I am too lazy to post a link. ------------- Marmalade...I like marmalade. |

It's about a farmer who lookes after the farm, and of course he hasn't got time to watch television, because his wife is a stranger and outside six guys in strange dresses are strolling across the lawn, and the seventh one who obviously has no connection to the previous six, who walk behind him, is carrying a cross, and in the end the farmer get's really mad about the people strolling down his lawn, so he goes outside and tells them that he doesn't like it when strange people walk across his lawn, and they should at least have the decency to ask him if they could please walk across his lawn. so then there's a big fight, and after that they all go to Jerusalem and have supper. something like that. ------------- I'm always almost unlucky _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Id5ZcnjXSZaSMFMC Id5LM2q2jfqz3YxT |

I was going to post this question but figured it had been done already. I think the definitive answer is it's about twenty-two minutes and fifty-two seconds. The live version is about twenty-four minutes and thirty-two seconds. Which leads to another interesting question, what's in those extra minutes? Extra music or did they just play it a little slower?

I've formed my own belief over the years that it is about fear, both real and imagined, and overcoming it through faith. But then Tuxon has a pretty good bead on it, too. ------------- "Literature is well enough, as a time-passer, and for the improvement and general elevation and purification of mankind, but it has no practical value" - Mark Twain |
