Naked To The Flame - Peter Hammill[00:00:00]

Written by：Peter Hammill[00:00:01]

She was waxed up to face the camera[00:00:17]

Like butter wouldn't melt[00:00:22]

In the back room agencies hammered[00:00:26]

Out a deal points on the pelt[00:00:29]

In the airlessly frenzied atmosphere[00:00:36]

She was the mistress of misrule[00:00:40]

Seeming careless of everything[00:00:44]

Except her look cooler than cool[00:00:47]

And she's singing for her supper[00:00:56]

And she's dancing in the dark[00:01:01]

And she's running for her life if she but knew it[00:01:05]

And though her heart is hard as stone[00:01:13]

That's still the flint from which she'll spark[00:01:18]

Like a moth to the flame[00:01:24]

She was so eager to make it[00:01:28]

Her ambition became naked[00:01:32]

How iconically arched the eyebrow pluck[00:02:05]

How vaselined the lens[00:02:09]

Now ironically even highbrow critics[00:02:13]

Rush to her defence[00:02:17]

And she's spinning in the spotlight[00:02:25]

But increasingly confused[00:02:31]

About the context that she finds[00:02:34]

Herself wrapped up in[00:02:39]

Is it in this skin she's living or in the last one[00:02:43]

She abused[00:02:49]

Nothing quite like a dame was[00:02:53]

She the broken or the breaking[00:02:58]

The girl the woman became[00:03:03]

Naked[00:03:08]

I preferred her in anonymity[00:03:49]

But now that cover's blown[00:03:53]

And absurdly she stars eponymously[00:03:57]

Cast it's salome's show[00:04:01]

Oh be careful what you wish for[00:04:14]

As your own head might get turned[00:04:19]

You might find the biter bit before you know it[00:04:24]

Though ever eager for the spotlight[00:04:32]

She was never quite ready to be burned[00:04:35]

At the end of the game the signature[00:04:41]

Dish will get plated[00:04:47]

She'll go out as she came[00:04:52]

Written in light as her fate is[00:04:58]

The moth discovers the flame's[00:05:05]

Naked[00:05:09]
