lirik lagu peter hammill – the mousetrap (caught in) [from skeletons of songs bootleg]
[verse 1]
after all said and done
not very much will have been either way:
i’m a chronicler of action
i’m an actor in the play
i know the lines i have to speak
i know that i won’t ever quit, corpse, or dry
but the performance gets so pointless
and the days just drift on by
[bridge 1]
every time that i go to turn the pages of the calendar
in the third act of this twenty~ninth year of the show
i’m aware of the latest leading lady and get mad at her…
it’s perfunctory, but why she’ll never know
[instrumental]
[verse 2]
when i bеgan i had my hopes
that i could be a leading light of thе stage
but now i’ve stunned myself to silence
extinguished all my inner rage
exhausted all my joy and violence
trapped all my feelings in a cage
[bridge 2]
and every time that i go to turn the pages of the calendar
i can see that i’m not really going anywhere;
all these years i have skirted round experience like a scavenger
can i really feel? i wonder if i dare?
at the end of the run, will there be anyone who do cares?
and behind this actor’s mask, there are ears
if there’s anyone left in there
