Trappings (2006 Digital Remaster) - Peter Hammill[00:00:00]

He could have been so great he could have had it all*[00:00:17]

He had it on a plate but he threw it at the wall [00:00:25]

And he can't know why but he still said "yes"[00:00:33]

To the easy lie and the poisoned vest [00:00:37]

The trappings of success [00:00:40]

They offered him the deal (Here's the contract)[00:00:46]

Just like an autograph (sign on the line)[00:00:50]

No need to think or feel (advances are abstract)[00:00:53]

Or do anything but laugh (the future defined )[00:00:58]

He's in possession yes he's possessed;[00:01:01]

They had no fear he was so impressed[00:01:06]

By the trappings of success [00:01:09]

You'll see him down the clubs or at the premiere[00:01:21]

(it's just another movie it's just another act)[00:01:27]

Strumming in a pub everywhere that's anywhere[00:01:30]

(he's a man of the people just as long as the people don't talk back)[00:01:35]

On the Rio shore or the Rome express[00:01:38]

With a Chinese whore or a Greek princess -[00:01:41]

These are the trappings of success [00:01:44]

But he's got no home and he's got no friends[00:01:50]

And the human mass repel him [00:01:54]

Now he's on his own and can't comprehend[00:02:05]

Did he sell out or was he celled in [00:02:08]

(He's a prisoner in a gilded cage [00:02:13]

He's a prisoner he's all the rage )[00:02:26]

He's waiting for his plane and his first-class seat;[00:02:30]

They've blown out his brains with sticky kiddies' sweets;[00:02:39]

Oh the limo the coke the celebrity guest-list [00:02:47]

The toady jokes and the gutter press [00:02:52]

The trappings of success [00:02:55]

These are the trappings of success [00:02:58]

And there's no way out of this one [00:03:02]

The trappings of success [00:03:05]

The trappings of success [00:03:08]

The trap of fame;[00:03:15]

(in) the trap big game[00:03:18]
