peter hammill - modern [the margin +] كلمات الأغنية

[verse 1]
jericho’s strange, throbbing with life at its heart _
people are drawn together, simultaneously torn apart….
foundations are shattered in the city
inside the barricaded doors;
hiding behind their walls, lonely as night falls
maybe the people are waiting for trumpets

[verse 2: peter hammill & someone in the crowd]
babylon’s strange, seventh wonder of the earth _
gardens ablaze in colour, slowly rotting in the dirt
oh, yes, and, with your head on fire, you know that you can’t really see
the hanging gardens sing
but with a hollow ring:
(the lifе!)
the life is false, it’s k!lling mе….
[bridge]
don’t look back or you’ll turn to stone;
look around before your life is overgrown
with concrete slabs
on your back the searching eyes that stab
between chintz curtains, glinting
but never owning to a name…
like the inmates of asylums
all the citizens are contagiously insane….

[interlude]

[verse 3]
atlantis is strange, the explosion of an age _
no_one really knows what to do
and the city is a cage
it traps in ashen hours and concrete towers
imprisons in the social order
oh the city’s lost its way
madness takes hold today…
i can’t live under water
i can’t live under water
i can’t live under water
i can’t live under water, oh!

[outro]
i can’t live, i can’t live
i can’t live under water
_cheers_
