Peter Hammill piosenki

We can talk about it in the car; We can talk about it with the drive. Keep your eyes on the road up ahead, Don't forget what we said about staying alive. If we'd been stuck just a few hours more I'd have cracked up, I'd say. No, you never can tell when i...

There's a shiver down the spine of the body map... How come everything gets so physical? With your finger on the pulse And your head in the clouds Everything's so tactile In your private world, In your little world. Under the skin you search for paradi...

Nobody knows what she sees, no-one can get behind that warped reflection. What glossy varnish strips away protection from young girls like these? No-one admits what it means, no-one permits a gesture of contrition; how carelessly they stacked the ammunition in...

Sleep now: Another day in your young lives is done, Go to sleep now. Tomorrow brave new worlds will surely come, And trouble deep; You're such a wonder, such a mystery to me. Somewhere Your future friends are lying as you are And your lovers Right no...

I saw your picture in the Evening Standard, You were wearing your battle dress. I really must confess That I shed a silent smile for you- It had really blown my mind. I wonder, are you still so kind? Are you still so pure? There are other rhymes around...

The jokes are everywhere, The secret deal's complete - Money talks, some good advice, The politicians run like clockwork mice, All fits the masterplan. A database on the telephone And cable sunshine floods your home - So, times are good? Fat cats get...

Silently I rest in the tall green grass And look steadily upwards. Birds sing ceaselessly around me, And the blue of the sky surrounds me strangely. Out here, life is at its essence, And watches the world with innocent eyes; Far from grime, far from rus...

Somebody Bad Enough I keep your picture in the back of the book as index to my hidden pages; a secret life is where we meet and I'll not let you go. I know you think that I'm a bit of a creep but I will grow on you in stages until you recognise that we're b...

In the new hotel, on Fiesta Night, the staff are bored; Donna Ysabel dances zombie-like, the guests applaud... The color is local, the tourists are tanned, The natives are restless and everything's second-hand. Places disappear, but the names endure as al...

Oh, brighter than a thousand suns, The march towards the stars On the wheel, on the car, Off the plane, off the planet And on in the search. Yes, we pray in the dark in the Sciences' church. Upon the tree of knowledge The fruit is bitter-sweet; To the...

Stranger still in another town, How normal to sit out the dance, Eating the good meal by myself, Toasting the empty glass; And they're already setting out the next place, Already forgetting about the last. No, nothing could be less strange in entropy No...

Wash your hands clean, don’t let anybody see the dirty work. Keep those secrets locked away from sight forever, hidden safely where your darker side still runs berserk. So much stored-up resentment, all that background fallout from so long ago, it’s still her...

I'm (so stupid) Along this pilgrim's accidental progress I'd bump into the walls as like as not: It's no surprise I didn't notice when I lost the plot. I went and did something (so stupid, so dumb) Error-message ever more intensive, Red lights were burning...

Summer song in the autumn, For you didn't catch the colour of the falling leaves. So many words have been spoken Which you didn't understand and so couldn't believe. And the song that you're humming is yesterday's tune - Someone who you love is leaving yo...

To the city beat on a treacherous curve, Up upon the high wire you're observed - You live as you live, you'll get what you deserve: High life, dig those highlights, Sun City nightlife: You'll be like a moth consumed by a flame. It's a rich man's world,...

Oh, suddenly things begin to come clear in my mind As I look into the land laid bare by your eyes; E-S/M attractions are working behind my thought, I can't help my feelings, The way that my emotions are over-wrought. Good morning, sunshine! You're all a...

And every time you call me I wait to hear what favour you require of me this time... The object of your own desire, Not everything's about you, I'm not exactly hanging on your words, This audience is restive, Perhaps you've not observed Because it's me,...

When I was a child they made me read Word-daggers of quiver and squirm; Now in the stumbling dark I see I am a worm, silently fruiting your garden, My sister ,my child. Night casts ominous meanings on the purity of my soul I feel devilish leanings I'm be...

Nothing I can say, but this much I can do: if you want I'll stay and be with you. Just let the tears flood down and, yes, I can offer you tenderness. What is gone is gone, it can be no more, so we must move along and close the door. I'm not his match, this I c...

The way this narrative's unfolding I've got in way above my head, Sense I'm about to be held to account for Some things I never did, some words I never said. I can tell you're keen to hold my attention Though my concentration's starting to fade As you s...
