Hammil Peter - Running Back

I thought I'd give it up for good, 'cause none of my actions are understood. I thought I'd really leave, And my coming back's something you'd never perceive. I thought I'd make it; Yes, I really thought I'd make it, But...

Hammil Peter - Sci-Finance

You got some shares in a speculative venture, You got some stock in a gilt-edged bond, You stretched out tight by the terms of debenture, The game is on.... You chase the bulls in eternal corrida, The thought of loss is...

Hammil Peter - Sci-Finance (Revisited)

You got some shares - it's a capital venture. You hedge your bets with a gilt-edged bond, You're stretched out tight by the terms of debenture, The game is on. You got a fortune on paper, How it shines on the v.d.u. !...

Hammil Peter - Scorched Earth

Just one crazy moment while the dice are cast, He looks into the future and remembers what is past, Wonders what he's doing on this battlefield, Shrugs to his shadow, impatient, too proud yet to kneel. In his wake he...

Hammil Peter - Sharply Unclear

You've never shown a trace of human frailty, No-one could ever catch you on the hop: Each post-modern take on the action would find you Already, in principle, totally hot, All self-referential commentary And a marketing...

Hammil Peter - She Wraps It Up

You know that she's got something she wants to give; Hard to tell if it's of spirit or the life she lives... Maybe somewhere between the two. Oh, the waiting to see what it is! The energy donor, looking over her...

Hammil Peter - Shell

Turn a card, turn a page, the action Sure to start, second-stage reaction To illogical thoughts on random lines In a Borges dream we move toward The writing of lives. Leave it out, leave it in, no edits - With a shout,...

Hammil Peter - Shingle Song

You can see in the 1st light that's graced as dawn That there's nothing in my heart but pain As I stand, facing sea, knowing that you're gone All the elements rage to explain That I should really be on my way; But there...

Hammil Peter - Ship Of Fools

The captain's in a coma, the lieutenant's on a drunk; The owner's in his cabin with his special friend, the monk; The midget's on the bridge, dispensing platitudes and junk-- Those wild and special places, Those strange...

Hammil Peter - Sign

Wrong drink to order. Suspicion grows, Wrong situation... Oh, no-one knows where you've gone to In the pagan night And the neon reflections Spread cadmium white. You came here looking for something But this wasn't it,...

Hammil Peter - Silver

You lay your plans, I take them as they come, I understand: we dance to different drums. It's not in any schoolbook, you're here to teach A lesson to us all... we play by different rule-books What you say, what you do,...

Hammil Peter - Since The Kids

It was simple, we were man and wife; Something happened to change everything in life And made us feel small but we were giants nonetheless And here we are all in the family portrait. I've been sliding in a 2.4-wheel...

Hammil Peter - Sitting Targets

We can talk about it in the car; We can talk about it with the drive. Keep your eyes on the road up ahead, (don't forget what we said about) Staying alive. If we'd been stuck just a few hours more I'd have cracked up,...

Hammil Peter - Slender Threads

I saw your picture in the Evening Standard: You were wearing your battle dress. I really must confess That I shed a silent smile for you - It had really blown my mind, I wonder, are you still so kind? Are you still so...

Hammil Peter - Smile

The jokes are everywhere, The secret deal's complete - Money talks, some good advice, The politicians run like clockwork mice, All fits the masterplan. A database on the telephone And cable sunshine floods your home...

Hammil Peter - Somebody Bad Enough

I keep your picture in the back of the book As index to my hidden pages; A secret life Is where we meet And I'll not let you go. I know you think that I'm a bit of a creep But I will grow on you in stages Until you...

Hammil Peter - Still In The Dark

Oh, brighter than a thousand suns, The march towards the stars On the wheel, on the car, Off the plane, off the planet And on in the search. Yes, we pray in the dark in the sciences' church. Upon the tree of knowledge...

Hammil Peter - Stupid

I'm(so stupid) Along this pilgrim's accidental progress I'd bump into the walls as like as not: It's no surprise I didn't notice when I lost the plot. I went and did something (so stupid, so dumb) Error-message ever...

Hammil Peter - Sun City Nightlife

To the city beat on a treacherous curve Up upon the high wire you're observed - You live as you live, you'll get what you deserve: High life, dig those highlights, Sun city nightlife: You'll be like a moth consumed by a...

Hammil Peter - Tango For One

And every time you call me I wait to hear what favour you require of me this time.... The object of your own desire, Not everything's about you, I'm not exactly hanging on your words, This audience is restive, Perhaps...
