Ah, close call between Dancing with the Moonlit Knight and Cinema Show, but the former gets it by a hair. I prefer the latter musically, but both are superb in all aspects!

There's a fat old lady outside the saloon; laying out the credit cards she plays Fortune. The deck is uneven right from the start; and all of their hands are playing apart.

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.

Cinema Show has the best non-Gabriel lyric in all of Genesis. These 3 lines are sublime.
Once a Man, like the Sea I raged Once a Woman, like the Earth I gave But if there is in fact, more Earth than Sea

Firth of Fifth seems quite meaningless to me - what are "undinal songs" anyway?
Epping Forest is quite amusing, I'm going to be different and go for Aisle of Plenty for its puns on UK supermarkets, which I suspect may fall on some deaf ears nowadays,
