Golden Promises - Peter Hammill[00:00:00]

Besieged in the battlements of babylon[00:00:12]

Still looking for a hat peg you can hang your[00:00:17]

Head upon[00:00:21]

Now you've found a place you think is avalon[00:00:23]

You can talk to anyone here[00:00:28]

You can throw your arms around your nearest neighbour[00:00:32]

And the smiling ones'll tell you that you've saved her[00:00:37]

That she's saved you[00:00:41]

They offer the golden promises[00:00:43]

The instantly divine[00:00:48]

You swallow the golden promises[00:00:53]

Hook sinker and line[00:00:58]

If you choose to throw your soul around the attitude[00:01:13]

Reasoning and independent thought go down the tube[00:01:18]

As you go slavering after every inane platitude[00:01:22]

How weak you find yourself here[00:01:28]

Do you really need to lose yourself completely[00:01:32]

How come you seem to rate it all so cheaply[00:01:38]

It's so weak kneed[00:01:41]

To go for the golden promises[00:01:43]

Mail order holy vows[00:01:47]

You go for the golden promises[00:01:52]

I think you really ought to know better by now[00:01:56]

So I do my best and I do my nut[00:02:02]

I try to explain all these angles[00:02:07]

But you turn away[00:02:11]

Oh now you're looking in the white of my eyes[00:02:15]

And you know what I'm going to say[00:02:19]

Don't go for the golden promises[00:02:22]

Don't go for the easy way[00:02:27]

It's right here on the doorstep[00:02:32]

Fool's gold[00:02:38]

Don't throw your life[00:02:40]

Away[00:02:42]
