Here the lyrics writters on Foxtrot

Watcher of the Skies (Banks & Rutherford)

Time table (Banks)

Get'em out by friday (Gabriel)

Can utility and the coastliners (Hackett with other)

Supper's ready (Gabriel)

Supper's
Dig me...But don't...Bury me
I'm running still, I shall until, one day, I hope that I'll arrive

I like the lyrical theme better on Watcher but the lyrics overall are probably more involved /better in Supper.
Went with Watcher.

get 'em out by friday has some of the craziest lyrics that genesis ever wrote

"it is my sad duty to inform you of a four foot restriction on humanoid height"
"It's said now that people will be shorter in height, they can fit twice as many in the same building site. They say it's alright!"

The one about King Canute.
...a vigorous circular motion hitherto unknown to the people of this area, but destined
to take the place of the mud shark in your mythology...

I find a certain magnificence in the lyrics for Timetable.
The world of sound is certainly capable of infinite variety and, were our sense developed, of infinite extensions. -- George Santayana, "The Sense of Beauty"

666 is no longer alone, He's getting out the marrow in your back bone, And the seven trumpets blowing sweet rock and roll, Gonna blow right down inside your soul. Pythagoras with the looking glass reflects the full moon, In blood, he's writing the lyrics of a brand new tune.
When he rides, my fears subside.
For darkness turns once more to light.
Through the skies, his white horse flies.
To find a land beyond the night.

Says it all really, what incredible lyrics, in years to come generations will be gobsmacked by such  a classic, let's face it we are now
