Mr X (Gets Tense) (2006 Digital Remaster) - Peter Hammill[00:00:00]
The current affair gets to be my business [00:00:52]
I heard the news on the radio:[00:00:56]
The sun on earth what is this [00:01:00]
Is that the way that the crazy goes [00:01:04]
Attention tuned to the satellites [00:01:17]
Looking down for an overview [00:01:21]
In the chapel of space we are acolytes [00:01:25]
In the battle of time we're all soldiers too[00:01:29]
And the relative choir push the energy higher[00:01:33]
Under fire [00:01:39]
The sliding show in the macroscopic [00:01:58]
Finger on the button pointing to progress [00:02:02]
The apparatus roll [00:02:06]
No-one here can stop it [00:02:08]
Too busy learning more – always knowing less [00:02:10]
Soon turkey-wrapped in the spaceman blanket[00:02:14]
We'll offer up lame duck apologies[00:02:18]
And settle down for the final banquet [00:02:22]
The gourmet dish of technology [00:02:26]
Cryogenic device catches all human life[00:02:31]
Under ice [00:02:37]
Under ice [00:03:37]
The current affair gets to be all our businness [00:03:42]
It's filtered in through the T V screen [00:03:46]
The norm the average what is this [00:03:50]
When it goes blank what does that all mean [00:03:54]
And what's the drive of each individual [00:03:58]
And what's the way that the story ends [00:04:02]
Is it Mr X left as the last residual[00:04:06]
Holder of the flame conscience of all men [00:04:10]
But he's so tense to expire[00:04:14]
He throws himself on the wire[00:04:17]
Under fire [00:04:20]
Is this the way the world ends [00:04:24]
Under ice [00:04:27]
Under fire [00:04:31]
Has there been some mistaken design [00:04:32]
Under ice [00:04:35]
Got to find the human voice [00:04:37]
Lord deliver us from Babel[00:04:42]
