A Louse Is Not A Home (2006 Digital Remaster) - Peter Hammill[00:00:00]

Sometimes it's very scary here sometimes it's very sad[00:00:00]

Sometimes I think I'll disappear betimes I think I have [00:00:23]

There's a line snaking down my mirror [00:00:45]

Splintered glass distorts my face[00:00:54]

And though the light is strong and strange[00:01:05]

It can't illuminate the musty corners of this place [00:01:15]

There is a lofty lonely Lohengrenic castle in the clouds[00:01:28]

I draw my murky meanings there[00:01:37]

But seven years' dark luck is just around the corner[00:01:48]

And in the shadows lurks the spectre of Despair [00:01:57]

A cracked mirror' mid the drapes of the landing[00:02:12]

Split image labored understanding [00:02:20]

I'm only trying to find a place to hide my home [00:02:28]

I've lived in houses composed of glass[00:03:15]

Where every movement is charted[00:03:17]

But now the monitor screens are dark[00:03:19]

And I can't tell if silent eyes are there [00:03:21]

My words are spiders upon the page [00:03:23]

They spin out faith hope and reason[00:03:26]

But are they meet and just or only dust[00:03:27]

Gathering about my chair[00:03:30]

Sometimes I get the feeling[00:03:33]

That there's someone else there[00:03:35]

The faceless watcher makes me uneasy[00:03:37]

I can feel him through the floorboards [00:03:40]

And His presence is creepy [00:03:43]

He informs me that I shall be expelled [00:03:44]

What is that but out of and into[00:03:50]

I don't know the nature of the door that I'd go through [00:03:53]

I don't know the nature of the nature[00:03:57]

That I am inside [00:03:59]

I've lived in houses of brick and lead[00:04:07]

Where all emotion is sacred[00:04:10]

And if you want to devour the fruit[00:04:11]

You must first sniff at the fragrance[00:04:14]

And lay your body before the shrine[00:04:16]

With poems and posies and papers[00:04:18]

Or if you catch the ruse you'll have to choose[00:04:20]

To stay a monk or leave a vagrant [00:04:22]

What is this place you call home[00:04:26]

Is it a sermon or a confession[00:04:30]

Is it the chalice that you use for protection[00:04:32]

Is it really only somewhere you can stay[00:04:36]

Is it a rulebook or a lecture[00:04:40]

Is it a beating at the hands of your Protector[00:04:42]

Does the idol have feet of clay[00:04:46]

Home is what you make it [00:04:51]

So my friends all say [00:04:53]

Don't you know I rarely see their homes in these dark days [00:04:58]

Some of them are snails[00:05:06]

And carry houses on their backs[00:05:09]

Others live in monuments[00:05:16]

Which one day will be racks [00:05:19]

I keep my home in place[00:05:25]

With sellotape and tintacks[00:05:28]

But I still feel there's some other Force here [00:05:33]

He who cracks the mirrors and moves the walls[00:05:42]

Keeps staring through[00:05:50]

The eyeslits of the portraits in my hall [00:05:51]

He ravages my library and taps the telephone [00:05:57]

I've never actually seen Him [00:06:06]

But I know He's in my home[00:06:09]

And if he goes away [00:06:17]

I can't stay here either [00:06:21]

I believe I think [00:06:29]

Well I don't know[00:06:40]

I only live in one room at a time [00:07:42]

But all of the walls are ears[00:07:47]

And all the windows eyes [00:07:49]

Everything else is foreign [00:07:52]

Home' is my wordless chant[00:07:54]

Give it a chance [00:07:59]

I am surrounded by flesh and bone [00:08:38]

I am a temple of living [00:08:41]

I am a hermit I am a drone [00:08:42]

And I am boring out a place to be [00:08:45]

With secret garlands about my head[00:08:47]

Unearthly silence is broke [00:08:50]

The room is growing dark and in the stark light[00:08:51]

I see a face I know [00:08:54]

Could this be the guy who never shows[00:08:57]

The cracked mirror what he's feeling [00:09:01]

Merely mumbles prayers to the ground where he's kneeling[00:09:03]

Home is home is home is home is home is home is me [00:09:07]

All you people looking for your houses [00:09:11]

Don't throw your weight around [00:09:14]

You might break your glasses[00:09:16]

And if you do you know you just can't see [00:09:18]

And then how are you to find[00:09:22]

The dawning of the day[00:09:25]

Day is just a word I use[00:09:31]

To keep the dark at bay[00:09:34]

And people are imaginary nothing else exists[00:09:39]

Except the room I'm sitting in [00:09:48]

And of course the allpervading mist[00:09:52]

Sometimes I wonder if even that's real [00:09:55]

Maybe I should delouse this place [00:10:10]

Maybe I should deplace this louse [00:10:21]

Maybe I'll maybe my life away[00:10:31]

In the confines of this silent house [00:10:43]

Sometimes it's very scary here [00:10:55]

Sometimes it's very sad [00:11:04]

Sometimes I think I'll disappear [00:11:15]

Sometimes I think[00:11:24]
