Selling England by the Pound is the fifth studio album by the progressive rock
band Genesis and was recorded and released in 1973. It followed Foxtrot
and was the band's commercial peak with Peter Gabriel, hitting # 3 in the
UK. The album went gold in the US in 1990.

The album cover is a painting by Betty Swanwick called The Dream. The
original painting did not feature a lawn mower; the band had Swanwick add it
later as an allusion to the song "I Know What I Like."

Retaining the pastoral yearning for ancient or medieval England as its primary
thematic material, the album focuses on traces of this past in the present.
Songs about England's mythological past ("Dancing With the Moonlit Knight")
co-exist with sketches of contemporary lawnmowers ("I Know What I Like"),
and the centrepiece of the second side, the epic "Cinema Show", has two
lovers serve as reincarnations of ancient Greek figures in a way which is
almost directly out of the "Fire Sermon" scene in T. S. Eliot's long poem The
Waste Land.
