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

After all is said and done [00:00:07]

Not very much will have been either way:[00:00:19]

I'm a chronicler of action [00:00:28]

I'm an actor in the play [00:00:33]

I know the lines I have to speak [00:00:39]

I know that I won't ever quit corpse or dry [00:00:51]

But the performance gets so pointless[00:01:01]

And the days just drift on by [00:01:06]

Every time that I go to turn the pages of the calendar[00:01:12]

In the third act of this twenty-ninth year of the show[00:01:22]

I'm aware of the latest leading lady and get mad at her [00:01:33]

It's perfunctory but why she'll never know [00:01:45]

When I began I had my hopes [00:02:47]

Believed that I could be a leading light of the stage [00:02:58]

But now I've stunned myself to silence [00:03:07]

Exhausted all my inner rage [00:03:11]

Extinguished all my joy and violence [00:03:16]

Trapped all my feelings in a cage [00:03:21]

And every time that I go to turn the pages of the calendar[00:03:26]

I can see that I'm not really going anywhere;[00:03:34]

All these years I have skirted round experience like a scavenger [00:03:43]

Can I really feel I wonder if I dare [00:03:51]

At the end of the run will there be anyone who cares [00:04:04]

And behind the actor's pose heaven knows[00:04:14]

If there's anyone left in there[00:04:26]
