Lyrics Peter Hammill

Peter Hammill

If Language Explodes

And if language explodes

In our faces like shrapnel

All self-defence is blown away.

In the end this reasoning's sound:

How can we be found

If we're lost for words?

Oh, still in the search for the words...

I've said my piece,

I'll take my leave now,

Breathe not a word

Of my disarray.

Ssh.

All of the words have flown away...
