lirik lagu peter hammill - 4 pails of water (previously unreleased version)
[intro]
four pails of water and a bag full of salts
[verse 1]
that is all we are, that is all a man comprises
chemicals alone, with no spirit, soul or ghost –
nothing so bizarre
no amount of faith disguises
what is true is what we fear the most
[verse 2]
nothing can survive save the things men leave behind them
any other case would be really too absurd –
if thoughts remained alive
surely modern science could find them?
no, the soul is nothing but a word
[bridge]
all the wonders man achieves emerge from cerebral tissue
chemical reactions’ ebb and surge form that thing that is you…
it’s a sad philosophy, but better sad than wrong
face the truth instead:
when you’re dead you’re dead
when you’re gone you’re gone…
now she’s gone
[interlude]
four pails of water and a bag full of salts
[verse 3]
that is all she was, all my lover represented –
that sounds just as mad as saying she will never die
fools may clutch at straws
but truth must not be circumvented:
as the tree falls, so must that tree lie!
[verse 4]
now that sounds so odd…
once i would have preached it brightly
now questions appear i rationally can’t ignore…
nothingness or god
which of them seems more unlikely?
[outro]
once i could have answered clearly
now i only think i’m nearly sure
once i would have answered clearly
now i only think i’m nearly sure
