Crying Wolf (2006 Digital Remaster) - Peter Hammill[00:00:00]
You turn out the lights and sit alone[00:00:37]
Trying to pretend that it's anguish[00:00:41]
Start at the ring of a telephone[00:00:45]
Throw down all your food at the banquet[00:00:49]
Keep a close eye on all you own[00:00:53]
While leaving it all to languish[00:00:57]
Is this what makes you happy[00:01:00]
Is this what brings you joy[00:01:04]
Your excuses are so crappy[00:01:08]
Silly boy[00:01:13]
You take all the love and throw it aside[00:01:16]
To wallow in your sorrow[00:01:20]
Expect everyone to know how you feel inside[00:01:24]
To forgive and forget come tomorrow[00:01:27]
Repaying all your debts with uncommon pride[00:01:31]
But denying that you ever borrowed[00:01:35]
Is this what makes you perfect[00:01:39]
Is this what makes you free[00:01:43]
Just how long did you rehearse[00:01:46]
Or does it just come naturally[00:01:50]
Crying wolf from the depth of your sheep's heart[00:01:57]
Crying fire from the depth of the well[00:02:00]
In an endless parade of repeat starts[00:02:04]
Just how long will it last can you tell[00:02:08]
Until all your friends and lovers[00:02:12]
Are simply bored with the pretence[00:02:16]
It'll be too late then to discover[00:02:19]
Just exactly what you meant[00:02:23]
And what was true[00:02:27]
And what was false[00:02:31]
The wolf turned into human[00:02:34]
The killer with remorse[00:02:38]
Crying pain as though that should be pleasure[00:03:30]
Crying anger as though that should be revenge[00:03:34]
Crying sorrow as though that were a treasure[00:03:37]
Your treasure will find you in the end[00:03:42]
When all of your friends have gone away[00:03:46]
Unwilling to put up with the danger[00:03:50]
That lies in each spiteful word you say[00:03:53]
You'll be left a greying wolf in a manger[00:04:04]
And when you've raised your last howl[00:04:08]
And destroyed all that you can[00:04:11]
With rotting teeth an slack jowls[00:04:15]
You'll be left a lonely man[00:04:19]
And when it's nearly finished[00:04:23]
And you know the end is near[00:04:26]
With true sorrow undiminished[00:04:30]
There'll be no one left to hear[00:04:34]
Your desperate cries[00:04:37]
They all come out as bleats[00:04:41]
You thought you were a wolf man[00:04:45]
But you're really[00:04:49]
Just a sheep[00:04:49]
