Medley (Parts of ‘A Plague of Lighthouse Keepers’ and ’The Sleepwalkers’) [Live] Van der Graaf Generator

[(i) A Plague of Lighthouse Keepers]

[(a) Eyewitness]

[Instrumental Intro]

[Verse 1]
Still waiting for my saviour
Storms tear me limb from limb
My fingers feel like seaweed
I'm so far out I'm too far in
On the table lies blank paper
But my tower is built on stone
I only have blunt scissors
I only have the bluntest hone

I've been the witness, and the seal of death
Lingers in the molten wax that is my head

[Verse 2]
I prophesy disaster
And then I count the cost
I shine but, shining, dying
I know that I am almost lost
No time now for contrition
The time for that's long past
The walls are thin as tissue
And if I talk I'll, I'll, I'll crack the glass
