Golden Promises (2006 Digital Remaster) - Peter Hammill[00:00:01]

Besieged in the battlements of Babylon [00:00:13]

Still looking for the hat-peg to hang your head upon[00:00:17]

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 [00:00:38]

That she's saved you [00:00:42]

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 [00:00:59]

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 slavening after every inane platitude[00:01:23]

How weak you find yourself here [00:01:29]

Do you really need to lose yourself completely [00:01:33]

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

It's so weak-kneed[00:01:42]

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

Mail-order holy vows[00:01:48]

You go for the golden promises[00:01:53]

I think you really ought to know better by now [00:01:57]

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 [00:02:12]

Oh now you're looking in the white of my eyes [00:02:16]

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 [00:02:28]

It's right here on the doorstep[00:02:33]

Fool's gold don't throw your life away[00:02:38]
