(Hammill) I've been hanging around, waiting for my chance to tell you what I think about the music that's gone down to which you madly danced - frankly, you know that it stinks. I'm gonna scream, gonna shout, gonna...

Yes I live in the black woods, where you dare not even speak my name. If there is evil in your heart and you will come near to me you will lose your sane. My form is mystic, but my heart is pure, you'd better believe...

I want to paint you poems full of fire, you who I do not know. Now my mind is tested with love which twists and wavers from side to side and which some day soon you may see... I want you to cascade through ten thousand...

If we had all the time in the world we might talk about how it used to be. We could have thrown in our cards when the going got hard but evidently we went on interminably. Right now I want to walk towards the sea,...

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...

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...

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...

We sat by ourselves, still looking for company; all I could think of was what was on your mind. You tried to be kind, but I blocked your feelings. Now, senses still reeling, you sit in your quiet room and cry. You tried...

Sometimes you feel so far away, Distanced from all the action of the play, Unable to grasp significance, Marking the plot with diffident dismay, Stranded at centre stage, Scrabbling through your diary for a lost page:...

Left the earth in 1983, fingers groping for the galaxies, Reddened eyes stared up into the void, 1,000 stars to be exploited Somebody help me I'm falling, somebody help me, I'm falling down Into sky, into earth, into...

N. was somewhere years ago and cold: ice locked the people's hearts and made them old. S. was birth to pleasant lands, but dry: I walked the waters' depths and played my mind. E. was dawn, coming alive in the golden...

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...

(Hammill) 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...

(Hammill - Jackson) 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...

(Hammill) 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,...

At night, this mindless army, ranks unbroken by dissent, Is moved into action and their pace does not relent. In step, with great precision, these dancers of the night Advance against the darkness. How implacable their...

(Hammill) I remember what it felt like at Seventeen: I was a cat, a snake, a lizard, a mouse. Still got an interest in the limousine And a spouse and a brat, Country house, London flat. I'm gonna head for the island...

(Hammill) Citadel reverberates to a thousand voices, now dumb: What have we become? What have we chosen to be? Now, all history is reduced to the syllables of our name- nothing can ever be the same: now the Immortals...

Just one breath, and it's instant death, it's the Aerosol Grey Machine! Just one breath, and it's instant death, it's the Aerosol Grey Machine! You're walking along the road one day, up comes a man dressed all in grey;...

(Hammill) Horus, the son of Isis, lay in the marshes of Buto, poisoned by Set. She called out to the High God Ra to kill this evil, that her child may live yet. Casting aside her present fears she called out on the...
