Peter Hammill - A better time

Tekst :

As surely as the countdown begins our time is not our own
already there s the breath of the wind which bleaches bare the bones
of the deadlines we set, of the jokes we don t get
and forgetfulness that furrows the brow...
no I ll never find a better time
to be alive than now.
So I wake up, to remainder the dream
of personality and posture and face
for nothing can remain as it seems
in some perfect state of pure grace....
all we prize and protect only cause and effect
but I suspect the furrow may be guiding the plough
and I ll never find a better time
to be alive than now.

No better, no worse, much the same,
we wait on the why and the when;
no question but we ll go as we came
with no shift in the shape of the zen
and it is as it is and we take as we find
always next season s buds on the bough...
but I ll never find a better time
hard though it is to allow
I ll never find a better time
to be alive than now.

This is the life and we ve only time
to be alive right now.

    Heroin

    You ll never leave me
    You need me in this life
    You can t live without me
    I own you
    You belong to me
    That s right, don t ever try to leave me
    Because you can t
    You can t do it...

    Still feeling blue

    Time can pass and time can heal
    But it don t ever pass the way I feel
    You went away a long time ago
    And why you left I never knew

    The lonely days and lonely nights
    I guess the world knows I aint...

    Volte-face

    I have spent all my previous life
    Waiting for something else to start
    Now i see that i have felt so numb
    To everything that passed me by

    Need to go land on my own two feet
    Need to change my life this way
    Need to free my mind of memories
    Watch them how they screw my...

    The loneliest of creatures

    Someimes I feel like I m the loneliest
    Of all creatures in the universe

    Oh no! Oh no! Oh no! Oh no!
    Oh no you re not the loneliest
    Of all creatures in the universe
    Oh no! Oh no!

    If I am...
