[00:00:00] Mr X (Gets Tense) (2006 Digital Remaster) - Peter Hammill

[00:00:52] The current affair gets to be my business

[00:00:56] I heard the news on the radio:

[00:01:00] The sun on earth what is this

[00:01:04] Is that the way that the crazy goes

[00:01:17] Attention tuned to the satellites

[00:01:21] Looking down for an overview

[00:01:25] In the chapel of space we are acolytes

[00:01:29] In the battle of time we're all soldiers too

[00:01:33] And the relative choir push the energy higher

[00:01:39] Under fire

[00:01:58] The sliding show in the macroscopic

[00:02:02] Finger on the button pointing to progress

[00:02:06] The apparatus roll

[00:02:08] No-one here can stop it

[00:02:10] Too busy learning more – always knowing less

[00:02:14] Soon turkey-wrapped in the spaceman blanket

[00:02:18] We'll offer up lame duck apologies

[00:02:22] And settle down for the final banquet

[00:02:26] The gourmet dish of technology

[00:02:31] Cryogenic device catches all human life

[00:02:37] Under ice

[00:03:37] Under ice

[00:03:42] The current affair gets to be all our businness

[00:03:46] It's filtered in through the T V screen

[00:03:50] The norm the average what is this

[00:03:54] When it goes blank what does that all mean

[00:03:58] And what's the drive of each individual

[00:04:02] And what's the way that the story ends

[00:04:06] Is it Mr X left as the last residual

[00:04:10] Holder of the flame conscience of all men

[00:04:14] But he's so tense to expire

[00:04:17] He throws himself on the wire

[00:04:20] Under fire

[00:04:24] Is this the way the world ends

[00:04:27] Under ice

[00:04:31] Under fire

[00:04:32] Has there been some mistaken design

[00:04:35] Under ice

[00:04:37] Got to find the human voice

[00:04:42] Lord deliver us from Babel
