In my dreams, brief shelter from the rain, I try to catch the fireglow... with Dinky Toys, I thought that I was Stirling; with cricket bat, I say myself as Peter May; now, with all these images returning, I wonder who I am today? As a child, I refought the war, with plastic planes and imagination: I sank Tirpitz, blew up the Mohne dam, these and more-- I was the saviour of the Nation! Oh! To be the captain of a ship of war! The pilot of a Tempest or a York! To hold my trench against the Panzer Korps, instead of simply being one who talks, and reminisces of his fantasies, as though life was nothing but to lose... these only antecede the knowledge that, eventually, he must choose.... It's a hallmark of adulthood that our options diminish as our faculties for choice increase, till we choose everything and nothing, too late, at the finish. In my youth, I held belief: my faith and thought were strong. But now I'm stripped of every leaf, and it robs me of the sight of right and wrong. Oh! To be the son of Che Guevara! One unit in the serried ranks of black! A Papist or an Orangeman, a eunuch... then doubt would never cast the dagger in my back. Oh! To be King John or Douglas Bader, Humphrey Bogart or Victor Mature! Which one is false and easy, which one harder? --Of that, of this, of me I'm really not too sure. ----------------------- Related Lyrics Random lyrics: Patient, People You Were Going To, Pompeii, Porton Down, Re Awakening, Re-Awakening, Red Shift, Reprise, Rock And Role, Rubicon, Sci Finance, Shingle Song, Sign, Sitting Targets, Slender Threads, Solitude, Something About Ysabels Dance, Still Life, Stranger Still, Summer Song, Summer Song In The Autumn, Sunshine, Tapeworm, The Birds, The Comet The Course The Tail, The Future Now, The Institute Of Mental Health, Burning, The Jargon King, The Lie, The Lie Berninis St Theresa, The Old School Tie, The Spirit, The Tower, The Unconscious Life, This Side Of The Looking Glass, This Side Of The Looking-Glass, Thunder, Time for a Change, Time For A Change Chris Judge Smith, Time Heals, Traintime, Two Or Three Spectres, Viking Chris Judge Smith, Vision, What I Did, Whats It Worth, Whats It Worth, Wilhelmina, Candle, Child, Other Hammill Peter song Lyrics A Louse Is Not A Home Lyrics A Way Out Lyrics Act Five Lyrics Act Four Lyrics Act One Lyrics Act Six Lyrics Act Three Lyrics Act Two Lyrics Again Lyrics Airport Lyrics Alice Letting Go Lyrics ...Show All Other Artists Hammond Albert Lyrics Hammond Beres Lyrics Hammond Fred Lyrics Hampton the Hampster Lyrics Hamptons Lyrics Hamptons The Lyrics Hamtaro Lyrics Han van Eijk Lyrics Hancock Herbie Lyrics Hand In Hand For Children Lyrics All lyrics are property and copyright of their owners and are strictly for educational purposes only. lyricstrue.net Copyright © 2005-2007 All Rights Reserved., , Privacy policy
