Lyrics for Golden Promises by Hammill Peter:
| | | Artist: | Hammill Peter |
| | Album: | A Black Box | | Track: | Golden Promises | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 194 | | | | Lyrics: | Besieged in the battlements of Babylon,
still looking for the hat-peg to hang your head upon
-
now you've found a place you think is Avalon:
you can talk to anyone here.
You can
throw your arms around your nearest neighbour
and the smiling ones'll tell you that you've
saved her,
that she's saved you...
They offer the golden promises
the instantly
divine;
you swallow the golden promises
hook, sinker and line.
If you choose
to throw your soul around the attitude
reasoning and independent thought go down the
tube
as you go slavening after every inane platitude -
how weak you find yourself
here.
Do you really need to lose yourself completely?
How come you seem to rate it all so
cheaply?
It's so weak-kneed
to go for the golden promises,
mail-order holy
vows;
you go for the golden promises -
I think you really ought to know better by
now.
So I do my best and I do my nut,
I try to explain all these angles
but
you turn away.
oh, now you're looking in the white of my eyes,
and you know what I'm going
to say: -
don't go for the golden promises,
don't go for the easy way...
It's
right here on the doorstep:
fool's gold - don't throw your life away | | | |  Reddit | X / Twitter | Facebook | Copy link |
