[Lyrics – Alan Duffy / Music – Steven Wilson]
The first thing that I saw as,
the fisherman smiled at me
Were empty people dressed in grey,
floating out to sea
The rain lashed down in darkness
A lizard blinked an eye
And time stopped in the silence
The small fish gave a cry
The next thing that I saw as,
things were fading fast
Were dreams of children’s laughter,
smouldering to dust
The rain lashed down in darkness
A lizard blinked an eye
And time stopped in the silence
The small fish gave a cry
The last thing that I saw as, my life passed by
Were fields of empty people, laying down to die
The rain lashed down in darkness
A lizard blinked an eye
And time stopped in the silence
To watch the burning sky.
All my friends are hellions They got nine toes in their graves We all live…
ANGER! HE SMILES TOWERING IN SHINY METALLIC PURPLE ARMOUR QUEEN JEALOUSY ENVY WAITS BEHIND HIM…
Here I lie motionless Catch me if you can My properties of no defense So,…
I am outside And I've been waiting for the sun And with my wide eyes…
I never want to be seen as cheap I saw the tears in his eyes…
