Crying Wolf - Peter Hammill[00:00:00]
You turn out the lights and sit alone[00:00:36]
Trying to pretend that it's anguish[00:00:40]
Start at the ring of a telephone[00:00:44]
Throw down all your food at the banquet[00:00:48]
Keep a close eye on all you own[00:00:52]
While leaving it all to languish[00:00:56]
Is this what makes you happy[00:00:59]
Is this what brings you joy[00:01:03]
Your excuses are so crappy[00:01:07]
Silly boy[00:01:12]
You take all the love and throw it aside[00:01:15]
To wallow in your sorrow[00:01:19]
Expect everyone to know how you feel inside[00:01:22]
To forgive and forget come tomorrow[00:01:26]
Repaying all your debts with uncommon pride[00:01:31]
But denying that you ever borrowed[00:01:34]
Is this what makes you perfect[00:01:38]
Is this what makes you free[00:01:42]
Just how long did you rehearse it[00:01:45]
Ordoes just come naturally naturally[00:01:49]
Crying wolf from the depth of your sheep's heart[00:01:55]
Crying fire from the depth of the well[00:01:59]
In an endless parade of repeat starts[00:02:03]
Just how long will it last can you tell[00:02:07]
Until all your friends and lovers[00:02:11]
Are simply bored with the pretence[00:02:14]
It'll be too late then to discover[00:02:18]
Just exactly what you meant[00:02:22]
And what was true[00:02:25]
And what was false[00:02:30]
The wolf turned into human[00:02:33]
The killer with remorse[00:02:37]
Crying pain as though that should be pleasure[00:03:29]
Crying anger as though that should be revenge[00:03:32]
Crying sorrow as though that were a treasure[00:03:36]
Your treasure will find you in the end[00:03:40]
When all of your friends have gone away[00:03:44]
Unwilling to put up with the danger[00:03:48]
That lies in each spiteful word you say[00:03:51]
You'll be left a sava ofextenger[00:03:55]
Being of a would like a extenger[00:03:59]
You'll be left a greying wolf in a manger[00:04:02]
And when you've raised your last howl[00:04:06]
And destroyed all that you can[00:04:10]
With rotting teeth an slack jowls[00:04:14]
You'll be left a lonely man[00:04:17]
And when it's nearly finished[00:04:20]
And you know the end is near[00:04:25]
With true sorrow undiminished[00:04:28]
There'll be no one left to hear[00:04:32]
Your desperate cries[00:04:36]
They all come out as bleats[00:04:39]
You thought you were a wolfman[00:04:42]
But you're really[00:04:47]
Just a sheep[00:04:48]
