Peter Hammill piosenki

Pruf die Ehrlichkeit der Angebote, Freund und Helfer oder Bosewichtss Alles lasst sich irgendwie beweisen - Genaues weiss man eben nicht, Genaues weiss man eben nicht. Ubersinnlich ist die Untersuchung - Gibt's ein Jenseits oder gibt's das nichtss Alle...

On the surface Phosphorus gleaming; Deep down we carry on dreaming. On the surface Compass and charts checked; Deep down the currents run In a shining vortex, In a swirling vortex. On the surface Oil troubled water Sails set the seas on fire To th...

I wish that I remembered better. You've grown so fast before my very eyes. The woman that you're now becoming suddenly takes me by surprise. I thought that there'd be time and tide a-plenty to grow into a proper fatherhood but underneath our feet the sands wer...

I was sitting in the dance-hall, But my mind was far away So when the usherette walked over I didn't know quite what to say. I tried to look cool But I knew that I blew it somehow. Her fishnet tights took me quite by surprise... I had to open my eyes....

That token drag on your cigarette, That well-known face in the fire, It could be someone you can't forget, Someone you've learnt to admire. And it's strange how the feeling goes; All change - down the river Ophelia goes. You're treading water, the pric...

I might as well give you all there is, I might as well take it all the way: What's gone is forgotten, and anyway Surely words alone could not wreck your day? The cake's not worth the candle, so they say... "Nothing ventured, nothing gained, no hard feelin...

I'm getting the idea, I haven't got a clue. As my fabulous career ends up dead in the gutter The stars are shining down right on cue. It's not much of a shock, it comes as no surprise That changing all the locks when the horses have bolted Is a useless ex...

This one's authentic, Son of a gun, A soundtrack from China In the universal tongue... The world is our oyster To plunder at will, Though the palate is jaded By all but the thrill Of fish out of water, Life in the raw... Without understanding Of wh...

It's not that complicated, No more than a clench of fist - She want to paint her heart out, She want to tell it as she sees it is. Authority condemns her, They say to paint's a waste without a base, Some bedrock of idea. Painting by numbers doesn't add...

Oh, I'm looking for a white note To consolidate the key, Like the pilot of a night boat In a strange, uncharted sea: Palinurus, As unsure as he can be of his direction... Hell, this section's all Greek to me. There's so much I had to mention But it se...

The thought crossed my mind - How curious, why should I want so much shut-eye? Fighting the darkness and furious, Oh, but I once more fall into the song... Just the normal unconsciousness; Could that be wrong? All out into action then all down into sleep...

A system in the making, Self-healing for the blind, Sitting in the waiting-room Of the patient mind; Raging at the illness When the rage may be its cause, The purpose of the will is lost In the search for an escape clause, In the search for an escape c...

Your father has just left your mother, Gone off to live with his latest lover; She sits there, just staring. So you get back to your own flat Because the atmosphere in there Is so bad you can't bear it. And the people you were going to America with Just...

Upon Charles Bridge he's frozen in a gesture, Looks like he's waiting for a moment to arrive, Some special currency to connect him to the zeitgeist... Snakes alive! He's traipsed around the towns, the landmarks of Old Europe, Looking to link between the p...

Not the same, we are changed and we are changing still; I've been waiting for the beans to spill. If the truth be told all the plots will unfold: we've as many lives as we have friends or acquaintances, we're all only fractions of a whole. Self-belief glues to...

Across the ocean of the night You turn and look into my eyes, Burn into my life. Now the moment's magical But we keep our silence You could tell me anything you want, You could tell me all your secret wishes; Only in our eyes, only in our eyes We made...

You find you're standing alone - not so splendid, isolation. In the Green Room the talk is all of righteous indignation And you might as well have landed in some strange and distant galaxy. The rules are unspoken on the Planet Coventry. What reaction can...

The golden dream, the seat of all decorum, A satellite to match the light of Rome; Its silver children chatter in the Forum, The bath-house, and the brothels, and their homes About the latest fashions for their clothes. Across the Tyrrhenian Sea comes dri...

Won't hear a sound at Porton Down, The clear liquids keep their silence, Buried underground at Porton Down The fast form of the final violence. Quite right to be worried about the proliferation Of nuclear bombs and power stations, But there's a deterren...

Always we shout to be heard As though our voices could express The sense of sentences deferred And of lessons learned, Of storylines unfolding, Of the truths of our innocence and shame, Of life, the very breath that we are holding, Of our very names. W...
