Manheim; rainy Saturday with no money nor friend,
Only Tequila can end the boredom.
Try to reach London for a pocket of hope;
We're children, we grope in the dark.
Hugh spends his last Mark on coffee and cheese...
I feel just like a refugee...
Rathaus-keepers and traffic police,
Middle-aged maids with rotting teeth
Industrial magazines and old Sunday Times;
Reading material/bleeding lines.
What are we doing here?
Memorial manace, eager for revenge,
Has begun to bend our minds.
Shower-curtain imperative in the presence of acid;
Now, feeling placid is death.
I try to hold my breath as the P.A. comes down...
Here we all are in Ktown!
The Big Wheel never fails to grind around;
It drags me up/drags me down
Seven sentenses wonder 'Can this be real,
Or am I become a performing seal?'
Why are we dying here?
I walk the streets alone, try to find a sign of love,
I've crushed the plaster-bone in the freaky clubs,
I have bit the fruit
But all I live for is to play
And I'm tired of the nights and the days
Of airports, taxis and motorway showers,
Grooping for a key in the afterhours.
David takes to travelling in the van,
He knows that we all can understand;
We're at the mercy of the Kosmos Tour,
Making a pilgrimage to the German Lourdes...
But we're still crippled here.
Cathedrals spiral skywards, I think I'm getting vertigo,
I think I don't know what is real.
On a more sudden spotlight, one more madness is over...
I must not show a sign of fear.
Words echo round my ears, I think I'm going to laugh...
Think I'll just go and take a bath, Guess I'll wash my clothes,
Don't you know I'll grow to go and make my name,
Maybe a servant in the Fame game;
Stake my sane and rest my life on the line...
Now lay me asunder and rend my mind;
At the fall of the curtain let this be my ghost...
Peter Joseph Andrew Hammill (born August 19, 1948) is a British singer-songwriter, keyboardist, and multi-instrumentalist, best known for being the frontman of Van der Graaf Generator and his prolific solo career. Hammill began playing music at the age of seven, influenced by artists like Bob Dylan and The Beatles. In 1967 he formed Van der Graaf Generator, a progressive rock band that achieved great success in the 1970s with albums such as "Pawn Hearts" (1972) and "Godbluff" (1970). Hammill is known for his unique, powerful, and theatrical vocal style, often accompanied by complex and introspective lyrics. After the first dissolution of Van der Graaf Generator in 1978, Hammill continued to record music under his own name, releasing over 30 albums throughout his career. Some of his most representative tracks include "A Plague of Lighthouse Keepers" (1973), "Man-Erg" (1976) and "The Silent Corner and the Empty Stage" (1982). His music is characterized by a dark, melodic, and often experimental atmosphere, with influences ranging from progressive rock to jazz fusion. Hammill has collaborated with numerous artists, including David Sylvian and Robert Fripp.

My favorite group when I was just a teenager were the Fugees, thanks to them a certain curiosity about english language was born in me. I wanted to know and understand the lyrics of their songs, it wasn't enough for me to be carried away exclusively by their beautiful music.
