Peter Hammill piosenki

Jericho's strange, throbbing with life at its heart - People are drawn together, simultaneously torn apart... Foundations are shattered in the city Inside the barricaded doors; Hiding behind their walls, lonely as night falls, Maybe the people are waiting...

(Gets Tense) The current affair gets to be my business I heard the news on the radio The sun on earth... what is this? Is that the way that the crazy goes? Attention tuned to the satellites, looking down for an overview. In the chapel of space we are acolytes...

It was nothing, it came from nowhere at all, It was a casual remark, not a curtain-call. Late for breakfast - black coffee, brandy-laced... That look on your face. I'll remember last night; I'll look out for the signs; You were caught in the light Time...

In my time I've told a lie of two. I've been a deceiver, but believe me what I now say is true. There's no other way I can express what I'm thinking of: You're my favourite, you're the one that I love. It's a one-horse race, still I'm ready to place my bet. I'...

Searching for diamonds in the sulphur mine, leaning on props that are rotten, hoping for anything, looking for a sign that I am not forgotten; lost in a labyrinth of future mystery, tracing my steps, all mistaken, trusting to everything, praying it can be that...

I've been hanging around, waiting for my chance To tell you what I think about the music that's gone down To which you madly danced - frankly, you know that it stinks. I'm gonna scream, gonna shout, gonna play my guitar Until your body's rigid and you see...

She was waxed up to face the camera like butter wouldn't melt In the back room Agencies hammered out a deal: points on the pelt. In the airlessly frenzied atmosphere she was the mistress of misrule, Seeming careless of everything except her look, cooler tha...

He had worked on this for years Since they know they'd be childless: To hybridise a thornless And deep-scented damask rose. She was always by his side In the lengthening shadows... This case is closed. Ena Harkness, Constance Spry, Emily Grey, Margare...

(Bar & Grill) It's a private club, so exclusive that the membership is one, you can walk right in, can be sure your face is always welcome here. Drink up your fill: this is the Narcissus bar & grill so you can do what you will to reveal who you are. Y...

She wants to be your new pen-pal, Wants to regale you with some confidences. You might consider there'll be consequences to address When all the fences break down. She wants to be your new neighbour, She doesn't care much about conventional boundaries A...

At the dead of night, I woke with the sense that my dreams were escaping, all uncannily unspoken like words at the tip of a foreign tongue... As for language, I have none to express quite what strangeness overwhelms me: something's changed and something tells...

So if it's just so then where is it now when I find the moment uncertain? Broken water pail - no moon in the water, try to hold it now. So I want to hold on reflection's all gone, no ego - so. Broken water pail - no moon in the water, try to ho...

Look out through your dark hair, tell me the colour of your eyes when they're cool; look out through the dark ages and tell me what's covert, transfixing you. Oh, you're nobody's business, oh, you're nobody's business and the patterns of your life are suddenl...

In Germany, his days finally caught him; I won't insult his memory with long-distance grief. Tears and wakes weren't his style: not him, not for Keith. He'd have laughed in my face if he saw it get mournful, he'd pull me up short and say "Life carries on...

There are so many questions, there are so many doubts - this is auto suggestion your spirit is giving out. If I offered my reasons would you give me a break? Now it's all open season, no sense of give and take. You see I'm not the man I was.... But if I'm no...

Consternation out of the box As the conversation runs onto the rocks; In full expectation nothing comes as a shock. It's all plain sailing in the dry dock; It's all downhill from here, in the rubble, taking stock... With no sense of feeling nothing comes...

In the here and now... Between sensation at the nerve-ends And arrival of information at the cortex Time elapses So, you see, each time we touch We did so in the past Now, lover, Slicing through time in a perfect curve Due for a moment of energy Somehow we'll...

Between coma and consciousness no hard and fast line, No chance to vote on the motioning eye. A mystical vision or a fall from grace, The chase in slow motion through alien space? I don't know what to make of the dream-time: It seems as though I'm me, but...

Im Weiher silbert das Wasser, Gespeist aus dunklem Grund, du glanzt und schweigst Und Engelsflugel streifen Deinen Mund. Ich schwor' bei der Bibel, Bei Himmel, Holle, Welt und Gluck, Ich konnt' ertrinken in dem Strudel In deinem Blick. Geheimgesicht,...

Beside the pool of clear water, Fed by a secret spring, your lips are sealed, But in your body language Angels sing. I swear on the Bible, Swear on the sacred and profane I think I'm drowning in the vortex Your eyes contain. Your secret face, Show me...
