Peter Hammill piosenki

Look at the candle, as its life is bought, As the wick just rolls over and dies; Look at the wax-drops as they cease from their goal And the game they were playing loses its joy And the youth which they played in runs away. How long will you be gone? Fl...

I don't know, can't you see I'm just passing through, fast as you - Don't ask me. Careering out of control Disappearing down the black hole, Careering - the white man's soul Stands stark naked in the floodlight glare, Stands stark raving on the strap....

Celebrity kissing, this has got to stop; Yeah, they're swarming like flies, They're like bees around the honeypot. Celebrity kissing, will it never end? Well, you know and I know this is only pretence... You give it all you've got in radiance on the podium, M...

I found myself lying on the balcony, Stripling terror, naked to the bone; The secret asteroid jungle nearly done for me - I saw it all just a moment ago. I know I'd better watch out For the Central Hotel... I'm not going back. Repetition, superstition,...

I don't know quite what's happening And my eyes don't see too clear; All I know is I need you here, If only to shield me from the mood of the world And hold me and say it doesn't matter; But I'm like a child whose dreams are shattered. Crowding round me...

I got no sense of danger, When I met her at first, Though with hindsight's cold certainty I was always a target. From the very start She'd been training her sights on me. I only later discovered To her family and friends She'd refer to me constantly...

There's no getting back to how it started And the next few pages are uncharted, There's no secret passage, no speedy getaway - What do you say now? We could talk about this in a calmer state But if we wait it won't get any easier. So we're damned if we do and...

She likes to keep God out of church, especially when she prays: all in its place, all safely stored for some rogation day.... the paradox is so apparent, the sense absurd, but all too real; the nonsense is arrant but she just wants to feel comfortable. A poun...

Behind the smile of confidence Somewhere you'll find the wanted man Blank-faced and wary of conversation with himself. Around the ring of confidence They're dancing to a different tune; The others seem so confident, Why don't you take a leaf from the sto...

You can repeat it as often as you like, The story won't ring true. You've been inventing a cocktail of confections No-one believes but you. Contradictory fictions together form a track: Once the words have been spoken they're out And you can't take them...

It's impossible to trace These words in carbon paper trail For just as Zeno's arrow flies the snake is eating its tail. And in contradictory style The soldier and the steer attend Around the mark of the five hundred all in charge of a friend. "The Cret...

"I don't know, somehow our wires got crossed: you've been mistaking me for someone who never gave a toss. Life's too short for me to rewrite this page out of pig ignorance into all the useless wisdom of age. Something I said off the cuff, without thinking, ha...

You turn out the lights and sit alone, Trying to pretend that it's anguish, Start at the ring of a telephone, Throw down all your food at the banquet, Keep a close eye on all you own, While leaving it all to languish... Is this what makes you happy? Is...

Well, Tommy woke that morning With a headfull of rocks And Sylvia was in shock. The story they'd been faking Had frozen on their lips And fallen through the brush of fingertips And though they packed their bags, Ready for the road, The curtains and the bedroom...

Ich liebte Larm, Den Atem-Strom; Larm hob die Leere auf, Die Erdenschwere auf. Der Larm reisst die Tapete glatt von der Wand, Der Larm durchbricht das Mauerwerk wie ein Elefant, Der Schall auf Messers Schneide, die Welle, die nicht bricht, Und es pumpe...

Kaninchenstarre vor dem Schlangenblick, Scheinwerferschock zum Erblinden, Verschreckt und ungeschutzt, Mich dauert dein Geschick, Ich lass nichts unversucht, dich zu finden. Unsre Namen steh'n in Sternenschrift, Urlaute, die sich entzunden: Du traust k...

Er wunscht sich, du nennst ihn glucklich: Der Original-Self-Made-Mann. Kein Sinn fur Horizonte, Fur alles, was er nicht vereinnahmen kann. Wieder die alte Geschichte, Und ihr Name muss Erbsunde sein. Ja, stempel so seinen Ausweis, Klebe und farbe das e...

Die Prominenz kusst sich, wie verbraucht das ist: Eine Schmeissfliegenbrut Summt und schwarmt rings um den eignen Mist. Die Prominenz kusst sich, endet das denn niess Denn du weisst und ich weiss, das ist nichts als chi-chi: Du schmilzt fur uns dahin, du...

Folg den Instruktionen, Probleme ersten Grads. Ja, wir warten auf ein update, Sowas wie die Neuerfindung unsres Rads. Wer macht die Welt so schwer verstandlichss Wer hat das Kennwort ausradiertss Die Stirn in Falten, nichts bleibt beim Alten, Der Kopf g...

Was it only my imagination or were we once agreed, in full accord, that we would meet in time for reconciliation, for the scratching of old debts and the settling of old scores? Once upon a time you think you’ll live forever - only goes to show, in truth, tha...
