well spotted! selling england by the pound is a concept album based around sex. the "england" in the title is a metaphor/euphemism for "sex."

'Shagging England by the Pound' ?? It also deals with issues of penis envy, and homosexuality. If you look at the characters in the background they all appear to be marvelling at the huge phallic bushes, including the man! The sleeping gardener has clearly been shagged ragged by the woman with the brolly - no doubt having used the baguette. Lets face it, Genesis were the British Aerosmith! ------------- Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy! |

The cover was painted by Beryl Cook, whose work has always had a pretty bawdy sense of humour. I'm sure any symbolism was deliberate. ------------- 'Like so many of you I've got my doubts about how much to contribute to the already rich among us...' Robert Wyatt, Gloria Gloom |

Well I see no phallacies in your argument. Personally I think there ought to be a resurgence to phalluc art. |

Genesis vs. Genisis? Klaus Kinski is the greatest german actor I have ever seen! Read his autobiography, if you see it. |
