Peter Hammill - Not The Man Lyrics
There are so many questions,there are so many doubts -this is auto-suggestion your spirit is giving out.If I offered my reasonswould you give me a break?Now it's all open season, no sense of quit and take.You see I'm not the man I was....But of I'm not the manthat you took me to bedo I fade from your dreams,disappear from your memory?Look at me:if I'm not the man I was then who was he?There can be no returningto the scene of the crime...For perfection you're yearning:some romance, some foreign chime!Is the memory explicitunder strict rule of thumb?It was always implicit, this character I've become.But if I'm not the manthat you took me to bedo I fade from your dreams,disappear from your memory?I remember it well,I can guess what went wrong...you believe all these wordsin the popular songs...but if I'm not the manthat you took me to be,did I walk in your dreams?I've no idea who that person could be.Look at me:if I'm not the man I was then who is he
