All that before


I don't know if I'm cracking up or just getting careless, is this room quite airless?
Just a minute, listen, did you hear that knock on the door?
I'm going to have to write things down before I forget them
I can't find my glasses, I don't know where I left them
So I can't expect to get much on the visionary score, or did I say all that before?
Oh, stop me if you've heard this one before I get started
I can't find my mobile and I didn't charge it, it's a phantom target
If I call myself I'll only get my voicemail once more

I wish that I could pin things down before they escape me
I can't find my car keys and it seems that lately
I have trouble even fitting them into the front door, or did I say all that before?
Oh, stop me if I'm banging on, trying to grab your attention
I forget to mention I can't find my glasses
But I think I bent them when I dropped them as I scrabbled for my phone on the floor

It seems I can't, I can't remember, I can't remember what I'm doing

Although I flash that foolish grin that seemed so winning when I came in
I'm beginning to see everything we've been is going to be forgotten

It's not a joke, or did I say that all before I spoke?
It's not a joke, or did I say all that before I spoke?
I can't find myself, what I'm looking for, and I've lost the thread of what I said before

Thank you because you correct this lyrics

Biografia

Van der Graaf Generator is an English progressive rock band formed in 1967. Considered pioneers of the genre, they are known for their complex and experimental music, characterized by jazz, classical, and theatrical influences. The group achieved success in the 1970s, particularly in Italy, where they enjoyed immense popularity. Among the founding members are Peter Hammill (vocals, keyboards), Hugh Banton (organ, bass), Nic Potter (drums) and David Jackson (flute, saxophone). Over the years, the lineup has undergone several changes, but the core group has always remained the same. Van der Graaf Generator were one of the first groups to be signed by Charisma Records, the record label founded by Tony Stratton-Smith. Their musical style was influenced by artists like King Crimson, Genesis and Pink Floyd, but they managed to stand out for their originality and experimental approach. Among the group's most representative songs are "A Plague of Lighthouse Keepers", "Killer on the Road" and "Megalomania". In 2005, the band embarked on a reunion tour that continues to this day, demonstrating their ability to remain active and engage audiences with their music.
