Unrehearsed - Peter Hammill[00:00:00]
Time for the unrehearsed entrance[00:00:25]
Show a leg you can break[00:00:30]
Down the cocktail[00:00:36]
While it's laughing at you for heaven's sake[00:00:37]
I can't be your protector[00:00:43]
From these deliberate mistakes[00:00:48]
Between the can't and the maybe[00:00:56]
A lifetime's hovering in the wings[00:01:00]
Grasp the nettle bite the bullet[00:01:05]
Push your own buttons and pull your own strings[00:01:09]
Name your poison[00:01:15]
While you've got the power 100 proof[00:01:17]
I can't be your protector[00:01:23]
From self neglect or abuse[00:01:28]
This is not a rehearsal[00:01:33]
And fear is not an excuse[00:01:38]
And if you won't step out on the boards[00:01:45]
You'll find your place already on the shelf[00:01:49]
You can only find the sum of your parts yourself[00:01:54]
Unprepared and unready[00:02:23]
Is that an excuse or a point of view[00:02:26]
You can block out the words in anagrammatical sword play[00:02:31]
But it's your own life you'll be running through[00:02:35]
Time to drink a cocktail[00:02:40]
Of your own invention for pity's sake[00:02:43]
I can't be your protector[00:02:48]
I won't be there when you wake[00:02:53]
To honour all the hidden intentions[00:02:57]
In your deliberate mistakes[00:03:02]
In your deliberate mistakes[00:03:06]
Behind your deliberate mistakes[00:03:11]
Deliberation could be mistaken for coldness of the heart[00:03:22]
Procrastination won't get you[00:03:31]
Anywhere except aloof and apart[00:03:34]
What's the golden opportunity[00:03:39]
You're hanging on here for[00:03:42]
Isn't it just this[00:03:44]
Go start[00:03:45]
Unrehearsed and unready[00:03:55]
That's what we are[00:03:56]
That's what we've all been cast into[00:03:58]
It's not four square the beat's unsteady[00:04:07]
But this is this[00:04:09]
And making something of it's up to you[00:04:10]
An unexpected exit's always waiting[00:06:03]
Although you think it's something you'll bluff your way through[00:06:07]
Spit that wooden spoon out of your mouth[00:06:12]
And eat up the moment's long overdue[00:06:16]
Take your medicine[00:06:21]
And face whatever the future brings[00:06:22]
I can't be your protector[00:06:27]
Can't keep you under my wing[00:06:32]
This is not a rehearsal[00:06:37]
This is the real thing[00:06:42]
This is the real thing[00:06:52]
This is for real[00:06:56]
