A Forest of Pronouns Peter Hammill

[Verse 1]
Yes, questions
Coming up on the autocue
And I'm open to suggestion
But can I say the same for you?
So lost in the forest of pronouns
That I can't see the wood for the trees...
Got to face up to the showdown
Between you, me and him, which is we?

[Pre-Chorus]
Strange language fills my head: (It isn't written, you can take it as read if you dare to believe it)
It isn't written but still I take it as read (The buts stop where the arrow's sped, this is the main chance, take it or leave it.)

[Verse 3]
I heard the grass growing under my feet –
Oh, princess, what might have been?
Once your kisses were so bittersweet
That I got caught in the in-between

[Pre-Chorus]
Strange voices came and went (It isn't certain, but it's 90%, yeah, you'd better believe it)
If I'm uncertain still I leave it unsaid (The buck stops when the arrow's spent, this is the get-out, take it or leave it.)

[Chorus]
I can't take it, can't leave it
I can't take it, can't leave it
I can't take it, can't leave it
I can't take it, can't leave it
