lirik lagu peter hammill – a perfect date
a perfect date to hesitate,
i hope it won’t be too long.
you’re a sucker for the punch
and the telegraph bells are ringing;
now it’s coming to the crunch
as you stumble on the jaffa gate.
i think you know how it happens on the stage
when the heavenly choir are singing –
you’ve been taken by a perfect date.
you made the mount of venus your jerusalem,
you’re marking time as symbol for debate;
you hope to find some moment close to infinite,
you hope to find a perfect date.
a perfect date to hesitate.
the future beckons us on.
there comes a time to hesitate –
i hope it won’t be too long.
you’re a sucker for the punch
and the telegraph bells are ringing;
now it’s coming to the crunch
as you stumble on the jaffa gate.
i think you know how it happens on the stage
when the heavenly choir are singing –
yeah, you’ve been taken by a perfect date.
you’ve been playing on a hunch
and the strings of your heart are zinging.
yeah, you cut loose from the bunch
but that doesn’t mean you’ve sealed your fate.
i think you know how it happens,
though it’s strange, when the choir start singing:
you’ve been taken by a perfect date.
