peter hammill - the great experiment [the margin +] lyrics

[verse 1]
“is that all there is to it?” he asks
“no more conjecture or controversy?
oh don’t think i could go through it
i couldn’t live with the memory
now is the hour, it comes eventually;
how great the power as it falls on me!”

[pre+chorus]
and he’s raising his sense of occasion to the limit
practised, his sense of evasion… or is it?
craving a certain indulgence – would you give it?
would you give it in time?
[chorus]
treading water, making waves
from the cradle to the grave;
home by a whisker – close shaves!
i’m waiting
what i said i meant:
no faking
the great experiment
i’m waiting
what i said i meant:
no faking the great experiment

[verse 2]
near the end of the reel now
he’s hanging on by his fingertips
he knows how it feels;
at last the kiss of unearthly lips
how great the power to get a tighter grip
how great the power as the tide begins to rip!

[guitar solo]

[outro]
no faking
the great experiment
