 " Dancing with the Moonlit Knight " evolved from a number of short piano pieces composed by Gabriel , which was combined with some of Hackett 's guitar figures to make up the track . Gabriel added English @-@ themed lyrics to counter the impression from the music press that Genesis were trying too hard to appeal to the American audience , including references to Green Shield Stamps . Banks had upgraded to a new model of Mellotron and used the choir sound on the track . The track ends with a series of 12 string guitar figures that were originally supposed to segue into " The Cinema Show " to make a piece around 20 minutes in length , but this idea was dropped as the result was too comparable to " Supper 's Ready " .
