Peter Hammill - What i did

Tekst :

A pretty pass in the rear-view mirror,
it s coming on the overtake...
I ve got to stop panicking,
got to stay cool,
got to learn to live with my mistakes.
Overdue debt to the taxman,
I tried to have and eat my cake.
I think I must have been crazy in retrospect;
all the lines run together.
They just don t seem to connect.
I want to update my memory,
I want to rewrite my past...
Ooh, now I found out: no chance.

I think I must have been crazy
to do the stuff I did
I think I must have been crazy, crazy, crazy.

I think I must have been crazy
but that s the price we pay -
every lucky throw of the dice
will come back to us one of these days
I want to update my memory,
I want to rewrite my past,
I don t like what it s telling me,
it all floods back so fast;
I guess I was my own worst enemy,
now I ve come to a pretty pass.
A pretty pass, a pretty pass,
there s nothing pretty in the past

I think I must have been crazy, crazy.
Crazy to do what I did.

    Welcome to the pit

    You come on down to the pit
    Come on down to where the vipers spit
    I ve been waiting for you down here
    Cover your eyes with the velvet hands of darkness
    Cover your eyes with the velvet hands of darkness

    Youth of today

    Maybe, if you were some spear-headed guy,
    I would listen to what you have to say,
    But your just some incapable figure thinking your bigger than me,
    But your not,
    Yeah, you don t know a thing about the youth of today,
    Stating your opinion making it ring in my head all day.

    And you say,
    My...

    Time after time

    Lying in my bed
    I hear the clock ticking and think of you
    Caught up in circles
    Confusion is nothing new
    Flash back – warm nights
    Almost left behind
    Suitcase of memories
    Time after some times you pictured me
    I’m walking too far ahead
    You’re calling to me
    I can’t...

    Come back

    Now That You re Gone, I Can See What
    Was Going On and How You Lied
    When You d Said You d Never Love Again

    Friends Telephone and They Say
    You Weren t Out Alone Last Night
    Can t You See That This Broken Heart
    Is Killing Me

    Another Night...

    Towards the Pantheon

    May the wolves start to howl again. May the age of darkness arise. We
    will travel for eternitys into the unknown to reach what we
    seek. Fight the ways through the barriers of light, through the
    wastelands where nothing but grief have become the eternal
    memory....
