that wasn't what i said - peter hammill lyrics

the way this narrative’s unfolding
i’ve got in way above my head
sense i’m about to be held to account for
some things i never did, some words i never said

i can tell you’re keen to hold my attention
though my concentration’s starting to fade
as you set out your stall and say that you’re ready
to wait for the pay-out on promises i never made

don’t know where this is going
i don’t know if we’re speeding up or slowing down
you haven’t read the questions
i haven’t got the answers now
it looks as though we’ve run aground

better bring it on, get the motor running;
surely we don’t belong, but let’s pretend anyway
so the story’s gone wrong no-one saw it coming –
moving along will we be moving away
to another life where we might not be strangers?
might be husband and wife, might find our future -ssured?
time and tide that’s enticed, none of that could change us
oh but you don’t think twice, just make up what’s gone before

i don’t know where that came from
a strange imagination’s got
a stranglehold on you
you talk as if you know me:
in reality you haven’t got
the faintest clue

and now this narrative’s exploding
through a merry dance your fantasies have sped
still you say my words are in your heart forever:
“i’ll always love you….”

that wasn’t what i said
