Peter Hammill piosenki

Sweetheart, I want to hold back nothing, Sweetheart, I want to give my all. Roll on the feminine side, The lion lies down with the lamb. Beneath the male surface, The chaos merchant, we're all half-human: Understand only love's not blind, Only love sur...

Follow the instructions, The envelope is sealed: We're waiting on an update, Something like the reinvention of the wheel. Who made the world so complicated? Who made the watchword wait and see? I wake myself up, shake myself up, Take myself apart but st...

The youth are voting with their feet, Such a shame that the dance-beat gets so complicated. Pretty, pretty it seems... On second glance, the look is overrated. In the hot-house there's a magic potion, Timeless motion... Now and again now lasts forever;...

This is more than merely wrong, as sin on sin's grotesquely piled. Don't look so surprised when you find yourself reviled. Don't look to me for comfort in your trial - the girl was just a child. Uttering remorse with weasel words and shameless guile... it was...

Drawing back the curtains, Sluggish city daylight in the afternoon... Here's that special silence, Just before you walk out of the hotel room. Each time we're so close I assume That we'll never be again. Oh, how long can we pretend That we're just good...

Lob der Masse, Triumph der Kasse, Alles schlingt im Trog den Einheitsbrei. Die Regale entblossen Hardware Mit dem letzten luxuriosen Schrei. Die Duftabteilung hat Make-up-Ladies, Die seh'n zum Verwechseln wirklich aus; Kompakte Lifestylepackung, Also ko...

You don't remember all the things I've done; you never catch the careful words I choose; your present will not admit my patient efforts... it's a labour of love I offer to you. Unselfishness, does that hold the space between us? A helplessness, a nothing-left...

There you are, in the air, you start at the stillness and the motion. Where you are, are you scared and far from the source of the secret seam? There you are, unaware of where you've been... There you are, is that where you are, on the square and come...

Like a shot from the barrel of a smoking gun he's not, Still he aims for adoration. On the spot where the kettle has been called black by the pot He awaits his true vocation. You're so hot, eggs are frying where you walk upon the street, What you got is t...

Once spoken, Words perfume the air Like woodsmoke, like a breath of self that's no longer there. Such confidence, Such half-baked truth... The sound of distant voices mocks the hubris of youth. 

Wear your hair like Veronica Lake And he says you look ever so pretty As he brushes the tear from your cheek almost tenderly... Soon he'll be home. Falling in love was your first mistake, With a heart that held no trace of pity. As you look in the mirro...

Logorrhea Independent of the brain Not a moment to reflect Only time to wick up the gain What was he thinking of and Why did he dream he could convey a bright idea? While his tongue was wagging He forgot to use the space between his ears. Logodaedalus...

I just can't see why you can't see what I mean, But I can't make things any plainer, The words get in the way - Is that quite what I mean? If not now, then certainly sooner or later We've got a problem with communication - Look, I scrabble with my hands...

(Even the wolf can learn, Even the sheep can turn, Even the frog become at last the prince.) No more imagined insults And no more bloated pride - I'll see you at the wedding, I'll see you on the other side And I'll hold my peace forever But I'll hold...

Unchain me from this lunatic Before he drags me to my knees; I'd have to be some kind of Houdini To unpick knots like these. While I was sleeping half a lifetime away Someone moved the scenery, All my blocks went astray. So I awoke uneasy And, as I sp...

In Bromine Chambers there can be no mercy, no bitter flagellation for your sins; no forgiveness and no sackcloth can cease the dance of ashes on the wind. Too late now for a wish to change all wishing; too late to change, to breathe, to grow. Too late...

Every loss a legacy every gain ill-gotten, the golden apples on the tree are all potentially rotten. Pluck the fruit and bear no mind, so the poison bloom advances - the hand that clasps too tight will never grasp its chances. All the things that you've got wi...

Meanwhile, my mother, Waiting for what? I don't know... The recall of a favourite memory, Or perhaps for a painful one to go? She doesn't let that much show. Meanwhile, above her head All my monologues flows. "What's that you're saying, dear?" Wading...

God lives in the cathedral, Or so the Archbishop states... All fealty to the Church, All power to the state! Gold keys to the cathedral, They go with the bishop's cowl; He lives a spiritual life of material wealth. Are things so very different now? O...

If I'm the mirror and you're the image then what's the secret between the two, these 'me's and 'you's, how many can there be? Oh, I don't mind all that around the place, as long as you keep it well away from me. I've begun to regret that we ever met between th...
