《Not For Keith》歌词

[00:00:00] Not For Keith - Peter Hammill

[00:00:01] In Germany

[00:00:03] His days finally caught him

[00:00:08] I won't insult his memory with long distance grief

[00:00:14] Tears and wakes weren't his style

[00:00:17] Not him

[00:00:20] Not for keith

[00:00:26] He'd have laughed in my face if he saw it

[00:00:30] Get mournful

[00:00:32] He'd pull me up short and say life carries on

[00:00:39] In that gentle way of being cruelly scornful

[00:00:44] Now he's gone

[00:00:51] I want to see it all and eat it

[00:00:54] Was as close to ethos as he came

[00:00:59] Though he knew he couldn't beat it

[00:01:03] Never gave of himself anything less than best

[00:01:07] In the game

[00:01:11] Oh one of the game

[00:01:18] I never did say I never quite found time

[00:01:23] He taught me a lot

[00:01:25] And I carry it still

[00:01:29] Never thanked at all for his friendship

[00:01:32] And now I never will

[00:01:40] Diaries we write

[00:01:43] Are those we crave for

[00:01:47] We never put the p s at the foot of

[00:01:49] The final page

[00:01:53] He deserved more time

[00:01:56] But he never was made for

[00:02:00] Middle age

[00:02:06] Middle age

[00:02:10] Not for middle age

[00:02:17] Not for Keith
