Hammil Peter - Ophelia

That token drag on your cigarette, That well-known face in the fire, It could be someone you can't forget, Someone you've learnt to admire. And it's strange how the feeling goes; all change - Down the river Ophelia...

Hammil Peter - Orthenthian Street (Part I)

I feel a calling for the sea, I want to walk on the sand dunes... I hope you'll forgive me if I say I can't take you: At some times I've got to get away, If just to get a break from the play That we're all involved in...

Hammil Peter - Orthenthian Street (Part Ii)

Can't stop for a second: We might see how silly we all are. Can't get out, even for a moment: Might be hit by a passing car. Dreams shatter and fall into dust, As long as we're travelling I suppose they must. But, while...

Hammil Peter - Other Old Clich? S

I might as well give you all there is, I might as well take it all the way: What's gone is forgotten, and anyway Surely words alone could not wreck your day? The cake's not worth the candle, so they say.... 'Nothing...

Hammil Peter - Our Oyster

This one's authentic, Son of a gun, A soundtrack from China In the universal tongue.... The world is our oyster To plunder at will Though the palate is jaded By all but the thrill Of fish out of water, Life in the...

Hammil Peter - Painting By Numbers

It's not that complicated, No more than a clench of fist - She want to paint her heart out, She want to tell it as she sees it is. Authority condemns her, They say to paint's a waste Without a base, Some bedrock of...

Hammil Peter - Palinurus (Castaway)

Oh, I'm looking for a white note To consolidate the key, Like the pilot of a night boat In a strange, uncharted sea: Palinurus, As unsure as he can be of his direction... Hell, this section's all Greek to me. There's...

Hammil Peter - People You Were Going To

Your father has just left your mother, Gone off to live with his latest lover: She sits there, just staring. So you get back to your own flat Because the atmosphere in there Is so bad you can't bear it. And the people...

Hammil Peter - Personality

Not the same, We are changed and we are changing still; I've been waiting for the beans to spill. If the truth be told all the plots will unfold: We've as many lives as we have friends or acquaintances, We're all only...

Hammil Peter - Phosphorescence

Across the ocean of the night You turn and look into my eyes, Burn into my life. Now the moment's magical But we keep our silence You could tell me anything you want, You could tell me all your secret wishes; Only in...

Hammil Peter - Pioneers Over C

Left the earth in 1983, fingers groping for the galaxies, Reddened eyes stared up into the void, 1000 stars to be exploited Somebody help me I'm falling, somebody help me, I'm falling down Into sky, into earth, into...

Hammil Peter - Planet Coventry

You find you're standing alone - not so splendid, isolation. In the Green Room the talk is all of righteous indignation And you might as well have landed In some strange and distant galaxy. The rules are unspoken on the...

Hammil Peter - Pompeii

The golden dream, the seat of all decorum, A satellite to match the light of Rome: Its silver children chatter in the Forum, The bath-house, and the brothels, and their homes About the latest fashions for their clothes...

Hammil Peter - Porton Down

Won't here a sound at Porton Down, The clear liquids keep their silence, Buried underground at Porton Down The fast form of the final violence. Quite right to be worried about the proliferation Of nuclear bombs and...

Hammil Peter - Primo On The Parapet

To crawl on hallowed ground without a map; To walk on hollow legs, leaving no footprint; To drift like a ghost through the quarters of lost desire; Breathing underwater, Still running through the fire. Four horsemen...

Hammil Peter - Pushing Thirty

Seems the fashion's for one-liners these days, The kind that go up everyone's nose, So much back-slapping that the vertabrae Are fatally exposed... Me, I'm pushing thirty, pulling sixteen, Though much of what's around...

Hammil Peter - Refugees

North was somewhere years ago and cold: Ice locked the people's hearts and made them old. South was birth to pleasant lands, but dry: I walked the waters' depths and played my mind. East was dawn, coming alive in the...

Hammil Peter - Reprise

We think we're fireproof, We never think that we'll get burned; We think we're fireproof, We never think, so well get burned; We think we're fireproof. Reprieve, Reprise. If he got to do it all again Would he do it...

Hammil Peter - Rock And Role

Watch for the silent moments, only waiting to be saved. Wait for the Liemaker; he comes again And sinks his barbs through honesty; Roll him over with all possible speed! Don't let him touch you with the candle of his...
