My Experience - Live

Lyrics

[Spoken Intro] Now another song from Sitting Targets, this is called "My Experience" [Instrumental Intro] [Verse 1] It was nothing, it came from nowhere at all It was a casual remark, not a curtain-call Late for breakfast – black coffee, brandy-laced... Oh, that look on your face I'll remember last night; I'll look out for the signs; You were caught in the light Time after time after time after time [Chorus] It's been my experience That when the row gets serious A certain silence will fall... But I just can't stop it, oh, tell me what's wrong My heart goеs like a rocket, the feeling's so strong now No, I just can't stop it, why don't you tеll me what's wrong? Don't think about it too long [Instrumental] [Verse 2] I could argue this another way But on another day I might have to shout You keep your mouth shut But it's too late for that now: oh, the word got out In translation it's lost In desperation it's mimed; Is this Paradise lost Or Paradise time after time after time after time? [Chorus] It's been my experience And when the row gets serious A certain silence will fall... But I'll never [?], oh, tell me what's wrong Never [?], the feeling's so strong now Never [?], why don't you tell me what's wrong? And don't go thinking about it too long [Instrumental Outro] [Spoken Outro: Peter Hammil & someone in the crowd] Thank you! Now some older song, uh, ("Necromancer!") like city life past, present and possible future
