The Second Hand (2006 Digital Remaster) - Peter Hammill[00:00:00]

See the old man acting like a fool [00:00:16]

Yeah he's running from the ambulance [00:00:20]

When he was a youngster he broke all the rules –[00:00:24]

Now he says that was just accident [00:00:28]

Always had the feeling he was going to die young [00:00:41]

So now he feels repentant;[00:00:44]

But the judge was progressive and the jury was hung [00:00:48]

He got a suspended sentence [00:00:52]

So he ran from his future he ran from his past [00:00:56]

Yes he ran from the desert of the hour-glass[00:01:00]

But the sea of time is a rising flood[00:01:04]

And he's swamped by the wave [00:01:07]

His arms go limp by his side [00:01:14]

He only came for the ride [00:01:16]

He thought he'd hold back the tide [00:01:22]

Canute [00:01:24]

One eye on the main chance and one eye on the clock [00:01:45]

Oh when did his brain go [00:01:49]

And when does a veteran get to be a crock [00:01:53]

No gold at the end of this rainbow [00:01:56]

He always boxed clever with his shadowy hopes[00:02:01]

But now he's in trouble with his back on the ropes[00:02:04]

And the hands of time are bunched into fists:[00:02:08]

Yeah he's out for the Count [00:02:12]

The sword has sunk in the lake[00:02:18]

And now he's watching dawn break[00:02:22]

And now he waits for the stake [00:02:26]

Dracul [00:02:29]

This boy's a fool [00:03:02]

This fool's a man [00:03:06]

All men are ruled[00:03:10]

By the Second Hand[00:03:13]
