Shell (2007 Digital Remaster) - Peter Hammill[00:00:00]
Written by:Peter Hammill[00:00:01]
Turn a card[00:00:35]
Turn a page[00:00:36]
The action sure to start[00:00:38]
Second stage reaction[00:00:41]
To illogical thoughts on random lines[00:00:43]
In a borges dream we move toward[00:00:47]
The writing of lives[00:00:51]
Leave it out[00:00:57]
Leave it in no edits[00:00:58]
With a shout[00:01:01]
With a grin I said[00:01:02]
It was a certainty that I'd arrive[00:01:04]
In an escher sketch[00:01:09]
We walk around the drawing of lines[00:01:11]
The character uncertainty[00:01:17]
As he contemplates his lot[00:01:22]
And tries to move with urgency[00:01:26]
Though he's rooted to the spot[00:01:30]
On the brink[00:01:35]
On the edge[00:01:37]
But lately what I think[00:01:38]
What I said escapes me[00:01:41]
In a flash[00:01:43]
A tiger[00:01:44]
Burning bright[00:01:46]
Does the visionary trance obscure[00:01:48]
The burgeoning night[00:01:52]
She said what are you doing[00:01:56]
And he said what do you think[00:02:05]
Oh no[00:02:12]
What on earth are we doing[00:02:15]
The characters procrastinate[00:02:22]
On the threshold of the door[00:02:26]
There's something here that fascinates[00:02:31]
Though the meaning's still unsure[00:02:35]
And the plot so thick[00:02:38]
Is it some kind of history[00:02:40]
Sketch the thumbnail to the quick[00:02:43]
Oh even though it's full of contradiction[00:02:47]
Though it's flawed in the design[00:02:52]
This is no fiction[00:02:56]
It's a lifeline[00:03:03]
Here we are[00:03:10]
There we went[00:03:11]
Full circle[00:03:13]
Shooting stars[00:03:14]
Heaven sent[00:03:16]
Turned turtle on the beach[00:03:17]
Our shells are left behind[00:03:19]
Life a library[00:03:22]
Like a memory[00:03:24]
Of our ghost written lives[00:03:26]
