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

[00:00:01] Mannheim: rainy Saturday with no money nor friend

[00:00:12] Only Tequila can end the boredom

[00:00:27] Try to reach London for a pocket of hope;

[00:00:34] We're children and we grope in the dark

[00:00:50] Hugh spends his last Mark on coffee and cheese

[00:00:57] I feel just like a refugee

[00:01:07] Rathaus-keepers and traffic police

[00:01:11] Middle-aged maids with rotting teeth

[00:01:15] Industrial magazines and old Sunday Times:

[00:01:18] Reading material bleeding lines

[00:01:23] What are we doing here

[00:01:31] Memorial menace eager for revenge

[00:01:39] Has begun to bend our minds

[00:01:52] Shower-curtain imperative in the presence of acid;

[00:02:00] Now feeling placid is death

[00:02:15] I try to hold my breath as the P A comes down

[00:02:22] Here we all are in Ktown

[00:02:32] The Big Wheel never fails to grind around

[00:02:35] It drags me up it drugs me down

[00:02:40] Seven senses wonder Can this be real

[00:02:43] Or am I become a performing seal

[00:02:48] Why are we dying here

[00:03:01] I walk the streets alone try to find a sign of love

[00:03:08] I've crushed the plaster-bone in the freaky clubs

[00:03:16] I have bit the fruit

[00:03:19] But all I live for is to play

[00:03:22] And I'm tired of the nights and the days

[00:03:34] Of airports taxis and motorway showers

[00:03:38] Groping for a key in the afterhours

[00:03:43] David takes to travelling in the van

[00:03:46] He knows that we all can understand:

[00:03:51] We're at the mercy of the Kosmos tour

[00:03:54] Making a pilgrimage to the German Lourdes

[00:03:59] But we're still crippled here

[00:04:44] Cathedrals spiral skywards I think I'm getting vertigo

[00:04:57] I think I don't know what is real

[00:05:23] One more sudden spotlight one more madness is over;

[00:05:30] I must not show a sign of fear

[00:05:49] Words echo round my ears I think I'm going to laugh

[00:05:57] Think I'll just go and take a bath guess I'll wash my clothes

[00:06:05] Don't you know I'll grow to go and make my name

[00:06:10] Maybe be a servant in the Famegame

[00:06:14] Stake my sane and rest my life on the line

[00:06:17] Now lay me asunder and rend my mind

[00:06:21] At the fall of the curtain let this be my ghost
