Peter Hammill - What I Did Lyrics



Peter Hammill - What I Did Lyrics




A pretty pass in the rear-view mirror,
It's coming on the overtake...
I've got to stop panicking, got to stay cool,
Got to learn to live with my mistakes.
Overdue debt to the taxman,
I tried to have and eat my cake.

I think I must have been crazy in retrospect;
All the lines run together
But they just don't seem to connect.
I think I must have been crazy
To do all the things I did...
Try to keep the pot on a gentle simmer,
But something blows off the lid.

I want to update my memory,
I want to rewrite my past...
Ooh, now I found out: no chance.

I think I must have been crazy
(Crazy, crazy, crazy, crazy, yeah)
To do the stuff I did.
I think I must have been crazy, crazy, crazy.
(Crazy, crazy, crazy, crazy, yeah)
To do the stuff I did.
I think I must have been crazy, crazy, crazy...

I think I must have been crazy
But that's the price we pay -
Every lucky throw of the dice
Will come back to us one of these days.

I want to update my memory,
I want to rewrite my past,
I don't like what it's telling me,
It all floods back so fast;
I guess I was my own worst enemy,
Now I've come to a pretty pass.
A pretty pass, a pretty pass,
There's nothing pretty in the past.

I think I must have been crazy
(Crazy, crazy, crazy, crazy, yeah)
To do the stuff I did.
I think I must have been crazy, crazy, crazy...
Crazy to do what I did.
