[00:00:00] Trappings (2006 Digital Remaster) - Peter Hammill

[00:00:17] He could have been so great he could have had it all*

[00:00:25] He had it on a plate but he threw it at the wall

[00:00:33] And he can't know why but he still said "yes"

[00:00:37] To the easy lie and the poisoned vest

[00:00:40] The trappings of success

[00:00:46] They offered him the deal (Here's the contract)

[00:00:50] Just like an autograph (sign on the line)

[00:00:53] No need to think or feel (advances are abstract)

[00:00:58] Or do anything but laugh (the future defined )

[00:01:01] He's in possession yes he's possessed;

[00:01:06] They had no fear he was so impressed

[00:01:09] By the trappings of success

[00:01:21] You'll see him down the clubs or at the premiere

[00:01:27] (it's just another movie it's just another act)

[00:01:30] Strumming in a pub everywhere that's anywhere

[00:01:35] (he's a man of the people just as long as the people don't talk back)

[00:01:38] On the Rio shore or the Rome express

[00:01:41] With a Chinese whore or a Greek princess -

[00:01:44] These are the trappings of success

[00:01:50] But he's got no home and he's got no friends

[00:01:54] And the human mass repel him

[00:02:05] Now he's on his own and can't comprehend

[00:02:08] Did he sell out or was he celled in

[00:02:13] (He's a prisoner in a gilded cage

[00:02:26] He's a prisoner he's all the rage )

[00:02:30] He's waiting for his plane and his first-class seat;

[00:02:39] They've blown out his brains with sticky kiddies' sweets;

[00:02:47] Oh the limo the coke the celebrity guest-list

[00:02:52] The toady jokes and the gutter press

[00:02:55] The trappings of success

[00:02:58] These are the trappings of success

[00:03:02] And there's no way out of this one

[00:03:05] The trappings of success

[00:03:08] The trappings of success

[00:03:15] The trap of fame;

[00:03:18] (in) the trap big game
