Van Der Graaf Generator - The Siren Song lyrics
from:DANH@VMS.HUJI.AC.IL (Rami Zakh) SIREN SONG (Van Der Graaf Generator) ------------------------------------ Letters in pencil some of them as heavy as lead as dated as carbon as black as coal but burning as red Clues faintly stenciled the message,though bleached,is on red as secret as marble as young as old as living as dead And always that laugh that comes as though it's from pain, though i'm lashed to the mast still it hammers round my brain laughter in the backbone, laughter impossibly wise,that same laughter that comes every time i flash on that look in your eyes which whispers of a black zone which'll mock all my credos as lies where all logic is done and time will smash every theory i devise and the hour-glass is shattered only by the magic of your touch and where nothing really matters, no,nothing matters very much. So the siren song runs through the ages, and it courses through my veins like champagne and with all the sweet kisses of addiction it's calling me to break my bones again Future memory exploding like shrapnel, some splinters escape on my tongue some of them scar comprehension, beneath the scab they burn - but the wound becomes num... And always the song draws me forward rejoicing in the surge and the prayer bored with all but the mad the strange the freak the impossible dare ...Still your laugh chills my marrow 'till i embraceth on my knees oh,when the mast becomes a flagpole,what becomes of me...? ------------------------------------------------------------------ One can not fully grasp the work Peter Hammill has done throughout the years without having the possibility,apart from listening to it, to READ it - this is a first compilation of PH lyrics in the archives,and i hope that everyone capable of broadening it will do so - "What's the good of songs,anyway,they're just exercises in solitude..." Bye,Ram. |
