lyrics
Sometimes I find a pattern in rows of empty chairs,
or a likeness of the Virgin on her knees
And underneath the fringes of my halo-colored hair
is a recipe for every known disease
Oh, something I dread follows me ‘round –
I can’t choose my heart or my head
Heaven is for those who believe that God’s hands are bare
I’d love to but I really don’t dare
Now on the wall behind me is a man whose sullen stare
reminds me of the sin in my weak knees
Paralysis refines me, like a jaundiced millionaire
is dazzled by the way her body bleeds
But oh, something we said follows me ‘round –
I can’t hide my heart with my head
Heaven help us stoics who run when there’s nothing there
I’d love to but I really don’t dare
Oh this maze of questions and disguise
traps me in your answers and tempts me to tell lies
So my love, hold me like a child…
wrap your arms around me and the water will stay mild…
or a likeness of the Virgin on her knees
And underneath the fringes of my halo-colored hair
is a recipe for every known disease
Oh, something I dread follows me ‘round –
I can’t choose my heart or my head
Heaven is for those who believe that God’s hands are bare
I’d love to but I really don’t dare
Now on the wall behind me is a man whose sullen stare
reminds me of the sin in my weak knees
Paralysis refines me, like a jaundiced millionaire
is dazzled by the way her body bleeds
But oh, something we said follows me ‘round –
I can’t hide my heart with my head
Heaven help us stoics who run when there’s nothing there
I’d love to but I really don’t dare
Oh this maze of questions and disguise
traps me in your answers and tempts me to tell lies
So my love, hold me like a child…
wrap your arms around me and the water will stay mild…

Masterpiece of Crossover prog. It blends perfectly Chamber pop, Folk Rock, Neoclassical music and Progressive Rock. A flawless record

A very difficult album to categorize, it spans genre; or perhaps ignores is a better description. In general one could call it avantprogfusion with occasional dives into the quasi-classical.While he doesn't sound at all like Zappa, I can't help but feel Zappa is his spiritual godfather. This is VERY good.

Another gem of rock history for half the price, thanks to a "Cuneiform" promotional offer. Phil Miller has left his glow-in-the dark footsteps forever as one of the sculptors of the "Canterbury" sound, while being a member of "Matching Mole", "Hatfield and the North", and "National Health". He always was more on the "fusion track" of "Canterbury", and fusion is what he did later. My favorite tracks are those three he plays alone using a lot of MIDI guitar. Great fretless bass on the other ones!
