Тексты песен «Peter Hammill»

I was thinking about thinking but it really didn't get me very far, So I thought I'd throw a Tarot but I only got the Priestess and the Star. There's a shadow cast between the future and the past: The room and I agree...

In my youth, I played at trains: now all steam is gone. In my dreams, brief shelter from the rain, I try to catch the fireglow... With Dinky Toys, I thought that I was Stirling; With cricket bat, I say myself as Peter...

On Tuesday she used to do yoga, while I'd sit and watch the box in a vegetable way but always ready to say to myself that I was an artist implying that she was not. It's funny the way that self-pity can take over from...

Sometimes it's very scary here; sometimes it's very sad; sometimes I think I'll disappear; betimes I think I have. There's a line snaking down my mirror : splintered glass distorts my face, and though the light is...

Out of joint, out of true, out of love, Out of the blue, out of order, out of orbit, Out of control, Out of touch, out of line, out of sync And out of time, out of gas, out of tread, Out of road. Out of date, out of...

CHORUS Late that evening the Lady Madeline again succumbed to the power of her dark afflictions. Her brother and her friend sat by her and Montresor, although familiar with many of the gross and wonderful phenomena of...

(The following morning) MADELINE That must be Montresor... Good morning! Oh, how lovely to see you - since Roderick told me you were coming I have been so excited. Now you are here, all will be well once more. I was not...

THE CHORUS The chorus has often an unenviable role to play, often a distasteful task to perform; summoned as witness to uncounted crime, she's the silent accomplice of all, then she turns and comments on the action. She...

CHORUS Three endless days of bitter grief passed and Montresor abandoned any attempt to cheer his friend. Then came a sudden change in Usher's demeanour, whose significance he was soon to comprehend. Now Usher stands...

(Immediately afterwards, Madeline Usher enters, in a trance) MADELINE Carriages at seven I shall wear the flower he gave me It's so cold here deep beneath the lapping water... The water The water My love Head against...

THE VOICES House. Wet Vaults. Caissons. We breathe... OF THE Undercroft. Abutments. Stones. Wood. Breathe... HOUSE Buttresses. Bressumers. Spandrels. We Breathe... Columns and Pillars. Shafts. Arches. Capitals...

I stretch my hands, clutch vacant laughter in silence and sweet, sweet pain; without demand, but with a longing for what will never come again. I smell your perfume on the sheets in the morning-- it linger like the...

I stand on the tallest building and stare down at the grey runway and the tail-smoke of the Boeing jet that's taking you so far away. Believe me, I don't want you to leave me; look in my eyes and you'll see them filled...

So here we are, alone - Our children have grown up and moved away, Living their own lives, they say... It all seems very strange to me. I don't understand their ways: Our children amaze me all the time And I often...

Been alone so long that I've forgotten what it's like to feel somebody next to me and hear her breathing peacefully when I wake up at night. Been alone so long that I've forgotten what to say-- if I meet somebody who...

When I began I was full of altruistic dreams, Believed in princes and princesses, kings and queens - Now I find they're all human inside, All bitterness and pride, So why shouldn't I be like that too? It seems that I've...

I've got something to say, and it ain't the usual sob-story that you hear every day, I've got something to ask, and I know that now's the time, now all the rooms of the party are dark. Proffer me the candy, yes, I...

Look at the candle, as it's life is bought, as the wick just rolls of and dies; look at the wax-drops as they cease from their goal and the game they were playing loses its joy and the youth which they played in runs...

I found myself lying on the balcony, stripling terror, naked to the bone; the secret asteroid jungle nearly done for me - I saw it all just a moment ago. I know I'd better watch out for the Central Hotel... I'm not...
