Shell - Peter Hammill[00:00:00]

Turn a card turn a page the action[00:00:36]

Sure to start second stage reaction[00:00:40]

To illogical thought on random lines[00:00:44]

In a Borges dream we move[00:00:48]

Toward the writing of lives[00:00:51]

Leave it out leave it in no edits[00:00:57]

With a shout with a grin I said it[00:01:01]

Was a certainty that I'd arrive[00:01:05]

In an Escher sketch we walk[00:01:09]

Around the drawing of lines[00:01:12]

The character uncertainty[00:01:18]

As he contemplates his lot[00:01:22]

And tries to move with urgency[00:01:27]

Though he's rooted to the spot[00:01:31]

On the brink on the edge but lately[00:01:35]

What I think what I said escapes me[00:01:40]

In a flash a tiger burning bright[00:01:44]

Does the visionary trance[00:01:48]

Obscure the burgeoning night[00:01:51]

And she said "What are you doing "[00:01:57]

And he said "What do you think "[00:02:05]

Oh no what on earth are we doing [00:02:13]

The characters procrastinate[00:02:23]

On the threshold of the door[00:02:26]

There's something here that fascinates[00:02:31]

Though the meaning's still unsure[00:02:35]

And the plot so thick is it some kind of history [00:02:38]

Sketch the thumbnail to the quick[00:02:44]

Oh even though it's full of contradiction[00:02:47]

Though it's flawed in the design[00:02:52]

This is no fiction it's a lifeline[00:02:56]

Here we are there we went full circle[00:03:10]

Shooting stars heaven sent turned turtle[00:03:14]

On the beach our shells are left behind[00:03:18]

Like a library like a memory[00:03:22]

Of our ghost-written lives[00:03:25]
