Peter Hammill piosenki

He crawled on hallowed ground without a map; He walks on hollow legs, leaving no footprint; Drifts like a ghost through the quarters of lost desire, Breathing underwater, still running through the fire. Four horsemen drive the coach of Holocaust home And...

Seems the fashion's for one-liners these days, The kind that get up everyone's nose, So much back-slapping that the vertabrae Are fatally exposed... Me, I'm pushing thirty, pulling sixteen, Though much of what's around me is dead. They got so shirty whe...

Spitting drops of rain flow down And touch my cheek, Intermingling with my tears As I silently weep. Then the fatality of life Presses close and probes in my eyes... And I'm cold and hungry tonight. These great black walls of brickwork Bow low and opp...

Here's the lost boy with the brittle smile, Plastered panstick on his face, Making himself up; for a little while All the fragments will remain in place. We are only what we manage to retrieve Out of memory (Who do you think you are?) Inside, it's hail...

If you catch me running along by the sea, With bare feet in the sand, Then you'll know I am dreaming my life out In a way you won't understand. I'm slipping right out of your mind, this I know, And I accept the fact lazily, For I must go into the next fi...

Once, all the stars in the sky were bright, Now they're red and fading And all the colours we wore, the shades that we bore Have moved. And the gold turns to red with no time for changes. Red Shift, all moving away from we. Once, constellations were hol...

We think we're fireproof, We never think that we'll get burned; We think we're fireproof, We never think, so well get burned; We think we're fireproof. Reprieve, Reprise. If he got to do it all again Would he do it over and over? In reprise, reprieve? But w...

Watch for the silent moment, only waiting to be saved. Wait for the Liemaker: he comes again And sinks his barbs through honesty: Roll him over with all possible speed! Don't let him touch you with the candle of his need Or let him be, hysterically ravagi...

I lay down beside you: I am a unicorn, you a virginal maid, And I come in laughing play But, maybe, to be saved. Peer through the backcloth: I am a character in the play. The words I slur are pre-ordained, We know them anyway. Don't change your mind,...

Schlaft nun - ein alter Tag sagt euch Kindern Adieu, Doch schon morgen trinkt ihr vom Schaum der Welt und tut euch weh, Ganz sicherlich. Was fur ein Wunder, fur ein Ratselspiel fur mich. Freunde aus eurer Zukunft liegen jetzt wie ihr, Grosse Lieben schre...

You got some shares, it's a capital venture, You hedge your bets with a gilt-edged bond, You're stretched out tight by the terms of debenture, The game is on. You got a fortune on paper, How it shines on the VDU! The simple truth is that sooner or later...

A figure by the traffic lights, Face washed out in the rain, She's here once more to make her nightly Stand for love and pain. Her story written on her face Reading between the lines; Still private in this public place She's carefully designed Her ope...

Well, it must have been here somewhere, That which the culture highly prized: The list of ancient buildings, The attitude of mind, The wisdom of the prophets, The catalogue of books... You can't get off it, You don't know where to look, You don't know...

You've never shown a trace of human frailty, No-one could ever catch you on the hop: Each post-modern take on the action Would find you already, in principle, totally hot, All self-referential commentary And a marketing man's sense of talk shop. The sha...

You know that she's got something she wants to give; Hard to tell if it's of spirit or the life she lives... Maybe somewhere between the two. Oh, the waiting to see what it is! The energy donor, looking over her shoulder, She sees it all, she sees it sli...

Turn a card, turn a page, The action sure to start, Second-stage reaction To illogical thoughts on random lines - In a Borges dream we move toward The writing of lives. Leave it out, leave it in, no edits - With a shout, with a grin I said It was a ce...

You can see in the 1st light that's graced as dawn that there's nothing in my heart but pain as I stand, facing sea, knowing that you're gone all the elements rage to explain that I should really be on my way; but there is something which ensures I must...

Wrong drink to order. Suspicion grows, Wrong situation... Oh, no-one knows where you've gone to in the pagan night And the neon reflections spread cadmium white. You came here looking for something but this wasn't it, quite. Hey, take a Polaroid, exit,...

You lay your plans, I take them as they come, I understand: we dance to different drums. It's not in any schoolbook, You're here to teach a lesson to us all... We play by different rule-books. What you say, what you do, They're such different things, whi...

It was simple, we were man and wife; something happened to change everything in life and made us fell small but we were giants nonetheless and here we are all in the family portrait. I've been sliding in a 2, 4-wheel skid: something happened to me and since t...
