van der graaf generator – bunsho lyrics

Loading...

i’d just done the best work
to fall into my hands for quite some time:
of night oil i’d burned much,
made sure both style and content were sublime
so i put it forward
to the public forum
in antic-p-tion of my due acclaim.

and meanwhile, by contrast,
i’d penned a eulogy, pure workaday,
just hack work, just dashed off,
packed full of prolix puff and sad cliche…
no-one can really tell
when their hand’s been played out well
and i don’t even know
how my own story goes
or if it’s worth a jot.

i can’t see my stream.

what i thought was perfect,
what i thought was polished,
no-one thought it worth much
and they made that clear.
what i thought was worthless,
merely repet-tion
somehow tugged the heartstrings,
brought them all to tears.

i can’t see my stream.

no-one can ever know
what of their own’s their very best.
