Willie, what can I say to you to hold true in
your changing life? You've come into a cruel
world : little girls can lose their way in the
growing night ----- I hope you'll be alright.
Willie, try to stay a child sometime, for as long
as you feel you can learn. Babies all turn to
people, and people can really be strange : they
change and, changing, bring pain.
Try to treat your parents well because they care,
and what more can you do?
When you find your lovers, be good to them as
you hope they'll be to you ------
be honest,
be true.
Willie, you are the future; all our lives, in the end,
are in your hands. Life's hard now --- you know,
it gets harder, and hope is but a single strand;
we pass it on and hope you'll understand....
We know that we do it wrong, we're not so strong
and not so sure at all; groping in our blindness,
we may seem big now but, really, we're so small
and alone and searching for a home
in the night.
Meanwhile you're still a baby; you'll be a lady
soon enough and then you will feel the burn.
So hold my words : people all turn to children,
spiteful children, and they're really so cruel...
cruel fools!
Just follow your own rules -------
don't think that I'm silly, Willie,
if I say I hope that there is hope for you
Peter Joseph Andrew Hammill (nato il 19 agosto 1948) è un cantautore, tastierista e polistrumentista britannico, noto soprattutto per essere stato il frontman dei Van der Graaf Generator e per la sua prolifica carriera solista. Hammill ha iniziato a suonare musica all'età di sette anni, influenzato da artisti come Bob Dylan e The Beatles. Nel 1967 formò i Van der Graaf Generator, band prog rock che raggiunse un grande successo negli anni '70 con album come "Pawn Hearts" (1972) e "Godbluff" (1970). Hammill è noto per il suo stile vocale unico, potente e teatrale, spesso accompagnato da testi complessi e introspettivi. Dopo la prima scioglimento dei Van der Graaf Generator nel 1978, Hammill continuò a registrare musica sotto il proprio nome, pubblicando oltre 30 album in carriera. Tra i suoi brani più rappresentativi si ricordano "A Plague of Lighthouse Keepers" (1973), "Man-Erg" (1976) e "The Silent Corner and the Empty Stage" (1982). La sua musica è caratterizzata da un'atmosfera oscura, melodica e spesso sperimentale, con influenze che spaziano dal rock progressivo al jazz fusion. Hammill ha collaborato con numerosi artisti, tra cui David Sylvian e 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.
