Our Oyster

Peter Hammill

Composição de: Peter Hammill
This one's authentic, 
son of a gun, 
a soundtrack from China 
in the universal tongue.... 
The world is our oyster 
to plunder at will 
though the palate is jaded 
by all but the thrill 
of fish out of water, 
life in the raw... 
without understanding 
of what life's worth fighting for. 

Out of universal language 
some stuff never translates - 
the reports come in clusters 
but for words it's too late... 
six o'clock entertainment, 
tears of anguish and rage... 
in the zoos of the media 
the spirit of moment is caged. 

There's only one language 
the whole world comprehends, 
there's only one message 
as the darkness descends... 
do you still have a question 
or do you retract? 
There's a whole world of difference 
between the observer and the act. 

They're playing World Music 
in Tiananmen Square, 
they're playing World Music 
in Tiananmen Square, 
the whistle of bullets in the air.
