The Mousetrap (Caught In) (2006 Digital Remaster) - Peter Hammill[00:00:00]

After all is said and done [00:00:01]

Not very much will have been either way:[00:00:10]

I'm a chronicler of action [00:00:19]

I'm an actor in the play [00:00:24]

I know the lines I have to speak [00:00:29]

I know that I won't ever quit corpse or dry [00:00:39]

But the performance gets so pointless[00:00:47]

And the days just drift on by [00:00:52]

Every time that I go to turn the pages of the calendar[00:00:57]

In the third act of this twenty-ninth year of the show[00:01:06]

I'm aware of the latest leading lady and get mad at her [00:01:15]

It's perfunctory but why she'll never know [00:01:26]

When I began I had my hopes [00:02:16]

Believed that I could be a leading light of the stage [00:02:27]

But now I've stunned myself to silence [00:02:36]

Exhausted all my inner rage [00:02:40]

Extinguished all my joy and violence [00:02:45]

Trapped all my feelings in a cage [00:02:49]

And every time that I go to turn the pages of the calendar[00:02:54]

I can see that I'm not really going anywhere;[00:03:02]

All these years I have skirted round experience like a scavenger [00:03:11]

Can I really feel I wonder if I dare [00:03:20]

At the end of the run will there be anyone who cares [00:03:29]

And behind the actor's pose heaven knows[00:03:40]

If there's anyone left in there[00:03:46]
