Print Version


Besieged in the battlements of Babylon,
still looking for the hat-peg to hang your head upon -
now you've found a place you think is Avalon:
you can talk to anyone here.
You can throw your arms around your nearest neighbour
and the smiling ones'll tell you that you've saved her,
that she's saved you...
They offer the golden promises
the instantly divine;
you swallow the golden promises
hook, sinker and line.

If you choose to throw your soul around the attitude
reasoning and independent thought go down the tube
as you go slavening after every inane platitude -
how weak you find yourself here.
Do you really need to lose yourself completely?
How come you seem to rate it all so cheaply?
It's so weak-kneed
to go for the golden promises,
mail-order holy vows;
you go for the golden promises -
I think you really ought to know better by now.

So I do my best and I do my nut,
I try to explain all these angles
but you turn away.
oh, now you're looking in the white of my eyes,
and you know what I'm going to say: -
don't go for the golden promises,
don't go for the easy way...
It's right here on the doorstep:
fool's gold - don't throw your life away

  • Losing Faith In Words
    "I just can't see why you can't see what I mean,
    but I can't make things any plainer, the words get in the way -
    is that quite what I mean?
    If not now, then certainly sooner or later..."
  • Fogwalking
    "Everything clumsy slow-motion,
    I look for the source.
    Buildings loom up like icebergs
    on collision course...."
  • The Spirit
    "Such distance to the tips of the fingers,
    the ganglion loom jerks inside;
    the body grows steadily stranger
    but the spirit won't be denied...."
  • In Slow Time
    "Dance the dance
    till show time
    ... the show goes on
    Dance the dance..."
  • Flight
    "Flying Blind
    I alway forget how crazy things are
    so sometimes it catches me off my guard
    when they make sense...."
  • German Overalls
    "Manheim; rainy Saturday with no money nor friend,
    only Tequila can end the boredom.
    Try to reach London for a pocket of hope;
    we're children, we grope in the dark...."
  • Slender Threads
    "you were wearing your battle dress.
    I really must confess
    that I shed a silent smile for you -
    it had really blown my mind,..."
  • Rock And Role
    "Watch for the silent moments, only waiting to be saved.
    Wait for the Liemaker; he comes again
    and sinks his barbs through honesty;
    roll him over with all possible speed!..."
