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 for trumpets....
Babylon's strange, seventh wonder of the earth :
gardens ablaze in colour, slowly rotting in the dirt
and, with your head on fire, you can't really see.
The hanging gardens sing,
but with a hollow ring :
the life is false, its killing me....
Don't look back, or you'll turn to stone;
look around before your life is overgrown
with concrete slabs!
On your back the searching eyes that stab
between chintz curtains, glinting,
but never owning to a name -------
like the inmates of asylums
all the citizens are contagiously
insane....
Atlantis is strange, the explosion of an age :
no-one really knows what to do, and the city
is a cage.
It traps in ashen hours and concrete towers,
imprisons in the social order :
the city's lost its way,
madness takes hold today...
I can't live under water
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.
