paroles de chanson My Experience - Peter Hammill

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...
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
It's been my experience
That when the row gets serious
A certain silence will fall...
But I just can't stop it, why don't you tell me what's wrong?
My heart goes like a rocket, the feeling's so strong.
I just can't stop it, why don't you tell me what's wrong?
Don't think about it too long.
Don't think about it too long.

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: 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?
It's been my experience
That when the row gets serious
A certain silence will fall...
But I just can't stop it, why don't you tell me what's wrong?
My heart goes like a rocket, the feeling's so strong.
I just can't stop it, why don't you tell me what's wrong?
Don't think about it too long.
Don't think about it too long.
Don't think about it too long.
