I promise you, I won't leave a clue:
no tell-tale remark, no print from my shoe.
Still a steady trail to the water's edge -
I will keep my pledge to the end;
I intend to go free
No more rushing around, no more travelling chess;
I guess I'd better sit down, you know I do need the rest...
Yes, it's time to resign with equanimity and placidity
from the game.
I can't explain;
I can't relate...
Have I done it all too late?
Now is the time for the commission to report;
till lately, I thought: I'd been planted.
Trying hard to make it all come real,
permission to feel is ungranted.
But, now it's happening, I'd like to keep it private if I can;
last words, last look, make a final stand.
Now my number's come up on the Pools,
guess I'll board Titanic for a cruise...
Now is the time to make my status clear,
too late, I fear, and lonely,
as friends and enemies traverse the stage,
all in a rage disown me.
And all the pip-props shatter into dust about my ears;
memory and conscience, hope and fear.
As I crawl out further on the limb
something tells me I am crawling in
to unknown prophecies and lives -
the rainbow's end is hemmed around with knives...
As I stand on the boards and the stage lights grow dim,
shall I go out of doors, or shall I maybe go in?
Have I reached the point when I should take my cue
and follow you and your signs?
I can't remember my line
at the prompter cat calls
and the cards all fall
in the strike
All the pages are thin, all the corners are curled.
Does the starshine fall in through my window on the world?
or am I living our (the seeds of doubt) a chronicle of revenge?
The willow bends
as do my hands -
do your understand?
And will you still be my friend in the end?
......... When my mouth falls slack
and I can't summon up another tune,
shall I then look back and say
I did it all
too soon
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.
