Call that a Conversation? Peter Hammill

Oh, spit it out, there's no way we'll see eye to eye –
My simple truth is your warped confusion;
As off different planets we spin eccentric jive

I don't remember what I said
I don't think you do either

Slippery of tongue though you claim my speech may be
All of the words you've been putting in my mouth just flatter to deceive

I never said the half of that
You're utterly mistaken
Call that a conversation?

Yeah, you said it
All my meaning, quite misread it...
This conversation let's forget it now

I can't believe what you just said
Call this a conversation?

Let's call it quits
Let's just say it's
A measure of the distance between our worlds

I don't remember what I said
I don't think you do either;
You make what you will of meaning –
Call that a conversation?
