Peter Hammill - Faculty X Lyrics
Hope by and by, hope by and by -motes in the eye, portcullis is shut, a skull isn't much of a castle to live inwhen the change is going to come,the change has got to come.Explosions in the brain attest to itEvolution down the drain - let all the rest do it...Oh yeah, the only result is cumulative drek It won't be the drug it won't be the sex it's got to be the Faculty XLooking for a method, I play a straight bat,throw away the chances to slip.Yeah, you talk about the average -I don't care about that and my words are only giving me lipWhen I know that the change has got to comeOr what am I living for? or why am I here?I running, I give in more,far away from the nearGo meta-physical world, the sign that protects It wasn't the last it won't be the next It's Faculty XReading seeks, sages. prophets and obocurantist tracts,draining the elixir to the dregs...active yeast in the bottom is on the attackand it leaves me without any legs to stand onStill I hope that the change will comeMeanwhile I don't knowI think I'll have to goYeah, go for the governing body my consciousness elect It won't be so clear, it won't be direct. it's all that I fear, it's all I suspect and I'll disappear in Faculty Ex -I pluck all these characters out of thin air,I push them down into the lungs;I infuse them with meaning as much as I dare.Stretch out for the shoreline and wait for the wave....+------------------------------------------------+---------------------------
