[00:00:01] Golden Promises (2006 Digital Remaster) - Peter Hammill

[00:00:13] Besieged in the battlements of Babylon

[00:00:17] Still looking for the hat-peg to hang your head upon

[00:00:23] Now you've found a place you think is Avalon

[00:00:28] You can talk to anyone here

[00:00:32] You can throw your arms around your nearest neighbour

[00:00:38] And the smiling ones'll tell you that you've saved her

[00:00:42] That she's saved you

[00:00:43] They offer the golden promises

[00:00:48] The instantly divine;

[00:00:53] You swallow the golden promises

[00:00:59] Hook sinker and line

[00:01:13] If you choose to throw your soul around the attitude

[00:01:18] Reasoning and independent thought go down the tube

[00:01:23] As you go slavening after every inane platitude

[00:01:29] How weak you find yourself here

[00:01:33] Do you really need to lose yourself completely

[00:01:38] How come you seem to rate it all so cheaply

[00:01:42] It's so weak-kneed

[00:01:43] To go for the golden promises

[00:01:48] Mail-order holy vows

[00:01:53] You go for the golden promises

[00:01:57] I think you really ought to know better by now

[00:02:02] So I do my best and I do my nut

[00:02:07] I try to explain all these angles

[00:02:12] But you turn away

[00:02:16] Oh now you're looking in the white of my eyes

[00:02:19] And you know what I'm going to say

[00:02:22] Don't go for the golden promises

[00:02:28] Don't go for the easy way

[00:02:33] It's right here on the doorstep

[00:02:38] Fool's gold don't throw your life away
