<pre><font size='+2'>THE SPHINX IN THE FACE lyrics VAN DER GRAAF GENERATOR</font><br>(Hammill)<br />
<br />
I remember what it felt like at <br />
seventeen:<br />
I was a cat, a snake, a lizard, a mouse.<br />
Still got an interest in the limousine<br />
and a spouse and a brat,<br />
country house, London flat.<br />
<br />
I`m gonna head for the island when<br />
the summer`s out,<br />
I`m gonna do all the stuff that I can,<br />
drink like a fish in a waterspout -<br />
I`m a fan of the flow<br />
it began long ago<br />
I`m a man who should know<br />
it doesn`t stop.<br />
<br />
There`s so much to remember,<br />
so much to forget:<br />
we`re all in the possession of the<br />
future tense, but don`t know it yet.<br />
The flesh comes through the spirit,<br />
the spirit through the flesh...<br />
we look the Sphinx in the face<br />
for answers and of course we`re<br />
really not impressed.<br />
We`re caught between age and beauty,<br />
experience and youth<br />
so we feel the need acutely<br />
for any kind of Truth.<br />
<br />
Oh but we get copped some days,<br />
caught between options we`ve failed<br />
to play, such wasted chance.<br />
So I join the wastrel`s dance:<br />
it has slow as well as fast movement<br />
and any change must be an<br />
improvement on simply fossilising,<br />
standing still.<br />
<br />
I got a steady vocation for<br />
the Quiet Zone,<br />
I just can`t wait for the song to be sung,<br />
I`m still possessed by the promise<br />
of the Pleasure Dome<br />
<br />
You`re so young,<br />
so oldd,<br />
such a drag<br />
to be told.<br />
 <br />
 You`re so here, so gone,<br />
so near, so wrong,<br />
so queer, so strong<br />
 <br />
<br />
Such a drag to be told....<br><br><a href='http://www.lyricsbay.com' target='_blank'>LyricsBay</a> | <a href="http://www.lyricsbay.com/the_sphinx_in_the_face_lyrics-van_der_graaf_generator.html" target='_blank'>THE SPHINX IN THE FACE lyrics VAN DER GRAAF GENERATOR</a></pre>

(Hammill)

I remember what it felt like at
seventeen:
I was a cat, a snake, a lizard, a mouse.
Still got an interest in the limousine
and a spouse and a brat,
country house, London flat.

I`m gonna head for the island when
the summer`s out,
I`m gonna do all the stuff that I can,
drink like a fish in a waterspout -
I`m a fan of the flow
it began long ago
I`m a man who should know
it doesn`t stop.

There`s so much to remember,
so much to forget:
we`re all in the possession of the
future tense, but don`t know it yet.
The flesh comes through the spirit,
the spirit through the flesh...
we look the Sphinx in the face
for answers and of course we`re
really not impressed.
We`re caught between age and beauty,
experience and youth
so we feel the need acutely
for any kind of Truth.

Oh but we get copped some days,
caught between options we`ve failed
to play, such wasted chance.
So I join the wastrel`s dance:
it has slow as well as fast movement
and any change must be an
improvement on simply fossilising,
standing still.

I got a steady vocation for
the Quiet Zone,
I just can`t wait for the song to be sung,
I`m still possessed by the promise
of the Pleasure Dome

You`re so young,
so oldd,
such a drag
to be told.

You`re so here, so gone,
so near, so wrong,
so queer, so strong

Such a drag to be told....
