[00:00:00] Shell (2007 Digital Remaster) - Peter Hammill

[00:00:01] Written by：Peter Hammill

[00:00:35] Turn a card

[00:00:36] Turn a page

[00:00:38] The action sure to start

[00:00:41] Second stage reaction

[00:00:43] To illogical thoughts on random lines

[00:00:47] In a borges dream we move toward

[00:00:51] The writing of lives

[00:00:57] Leave it out

[00:00:58] Leave it in no edits

[00:01:01] With a shout

[00:01:02] With a grin I said

[00:01:04] It was a certainty that I'd arrive

[00:01:09] In an escher sketch

[00:01:11] We walk around the drawing of lines

[00:01:17] The character uncertainty

[00:01:22] As he contemplates his lot

[00:01:26] And tries to move with urgency

[00:01:30] Though he's rooted to the spot

[00:01:35] On the brink

[00:01:37] On the edge

[00:01:38] But lately what I think

[00:01:41] What I said escapes me

[00:01:43] In a flash

[00:01:44] A tiger

[00:01:46] Burning bright

[00:01:48] Does the visionary trance obscure

[00:01:52] The burgeoning night

[00:01:56] She said what are you doing

[00:02:05] And he said what do you think

[00:02:12] Oh no

[00:02:15] What on earth are we doing

[00:02:22] The characters procrastinate

[00:02:26] On the threshold of the door

[00:02:31] There's something here that fascinates

[00:02:35] Though the meaning's still unsure

[00:02:38] And the plot so thick

[00:02:40] Is it some kind of history

[00:02:43] Sketch the thumbnail to the quick

[00:02:47] Oh even though it's full of contradiction

[00:02:52] Though it's flawed in the design

[00:02:56] This is no fiction

[00:03:03] It's a lifeline

[00:03:10] Here we are

[00:03:11] There we went

[00:03:13] Full circle

[00:03:14] Shooting stars

[00:03:16] Heaven sent

[00:03:17] Turned turtle on the beach

[00:03:19] Our shells are left behind

[00:03:22] Life a library

[00:03:24] Like a memory

[00:03:26] Of our ghost written lives
