Masks (John Peel Session / 1976) - Van Der Graaf Generator[00:00:00]
He's a man of the past[00:01:08]
And one of the present [00:01:15]
A man who hides behind a mask behind a mask [00:01:23]
A clown a fool [00:01:39]
Believing it cool to be down[00:01:47]
Or that the game is[00:01:58]
All about who laughs the last [00:02:03]
So he tells all his problems[00:02:15]
To his friends and relations [00:02:23]
Exposes his neuroses to their view [00:02:30]
Theye accept as fact[00:02:45]
Every masochistic mumble of his act[00:02:53]
How could they know what was false and what was true [00:03:05]
Sometimes when he wakes[00:03:24]
He feels he's walked into a dream[00:03:26]
But all it takes[00:03:28]
To remind him things are what they seem[00:03:29]
Is the belief[00:03:32]
That the man behind the mask can really dance [00:03:33]
Pirouetting smile[00:03:38]
He sees himself cavorting [00:03:40]
Pierrot for awhile[00:03:42]
Before aborting[00:03:43]
To find relief[00:03:45]
In the shelter of the dark most telling mask [00:03:47]
After all the pantomimes are ended[00:05:56]
He peels all the make up off his face[00:06:12]
To reveal beneath[00:06:27]
The tears running all down his cheeks[00:06:34]
Alone he opens to the world [00:06:46]
But it's much too late [00:06:53]
He's been left in the end [00:06:57]
Without a face[00:07:05]
