Van Der Graaf Generator piosenki

It might come in a letter, Darkness falls in a telephone call; I await the unexpected With one ear to the party wall. Is it the pricking of the conscience, Is it the itching of hair shirt, Is it the dictionary definition Of a precipice to skirt? It's the nutte...

I want to paint you poems full of fire, you who I do not know. Now my mind is tested with love which twists and wavers from side to side and which some day soon you may see... I want you to cascade through ten thousand rainbows with me and dredge mounta...

If we had all the time in the world We might talk about how it used to be. We could have thrown in our cards When the going got hard But evidently we went on interminably. Right now I want to walk towards the sea, Hoping you're still in step with me. All joki...

Dive in to the Motion of the Avatar, Sign up to the Army of the Phantom. No-one's really who they say they are, They're all imposters on the stand in witness. Welcome to the Power of Self-deception, Head high in the grip of Holy Deadlock. Don't count on the w...

Part I Feel a calling for the sea, I want to walk on the sand dunes I hope you'll forgive me if I say I can't take you And sometimes I've got to get away If just to get a break from the play That we're all involved in All the love I'm living now could...

I feel a calling for the sea, I want to walk on the sand dunes... I hope you'll forgive me if I say I can't take you: at some times I've got to get away, if just to get a break from the play that we're all involved in. All the love I'm living now could have e...

Can't stop for a second: we might see how silly we all are. Can't get out, even for a moment: might be hit by a passing car. Dreams shatter and fall into dust, as long as we're travelling I suppose they must. But, while we're on the road, our days'll be glowin...

there could have been peace, but that eluded me - all I could think of was what was on my mind. You tried to be kind, but I blocked your feelings. Now, senses still reeling, you sit in your quiet room and cry. You tried to make me one, but I always hide when t...

Let's recount our history, Our tale of boom and bust. We could talk a good fight on our day But when we got a hand to play we bit the dust. Now in our threadbare suits we do our duty, Still sold on the pursuit of a common cause. Now let us call to memory such...

Sometimes you feel so far away, Distanced from all the action of the play, Unable to grasp significance, Marking the plot with diffident dismay, Stranded at centre stage, Scrabbling through your diary for a lost page: Unsure of the dream. Kicking a sto...

Left the earth in 1983, fingers groping for the galaxies, reddened eyes stared up into the void, 1000 stars to be exploited Somebody help me I'm falling, somebody help me, I'm falling down Into sky, into earth, into sky, into earth ..... It is so dark ar...

Refugees North was somewhere years ago and cold: Ice locked the people's hearts and made them old. South was birth to pleasant lands, but dry... I walked the waters' depths and played my mind. East was dawn, coming alive in the golden sun: the winds c...

At the edge of the canyon, Looking down upon the haze... Which hides the future of this planet, Home, our earth through all the days Which have been and will come. I hear the running feet of those yet to follow. At the end of such life as I call my own I glim...

Fight within a war within a song: Roland dies, but memory lingers on... Soldier, approaching the Gates of Spain, Treachery waits for you and the baggage train; A rearguard stand, your final war, It's what you've been living for. Soldier, as you sit astride V...

I thought I'd give it up for good, 'cause none of my actions are understood. I thought I'd really leave, and my coming back's something you'd never perceive. I thought I'd make it; Yes, I really thought I'd make it, but then you smiled, you didn't rile m...

Just one crazy moment while the dice are cast, He looks into the future and remembers what is past, Wonders what he's doing on this battlefield, Shrugs to his shadow, impatient, too proud yet to kneel. In his wake he leaves scorched earth and work in vain...

The captain's in a coma, the lieutenant's on a drunk; the owner's in his cabin with his special friend, the monk; the midget's on the bridge, dispensing platitudes and junk - those wild and special places, those strange and dangerous places, those sad, sweet f...

At night, this mindless army, ranks unbroken by dissent, Is moved into action and their pace does not relent. In step, with great precision, these dancers of the night Advance against the darkness - how implacable their might! Eyes undulled by moon, their...

Best be careful, maintain a tight grip, Yes, be careful and keep the mouth zipped. Best be careful, there's no smoke without fire. Clearly you don't know where you're going But the beaten track behind you runs for miles. You've blundered through the jungle Li...

Best of intentions, fresh-faced devotees display, Sat at the feet of the master, Hoping that this is the one true way. Eager awareness, Picking the wood from the trees, Only belief is important, Only obedience can set them free. Here come the paraphern...
