Golden Promises Peter Hammill

Golden Promises - Peter Hammill
[Verse 1]
Besieged in the battlements of Babylon
Still looking for a hat-peg you can hang your head upon -
Now you've found a place you think is Avalon:
You can talk to anyone here
You can throw your arms around your nearest neighbour
And the smiling ones'll tell you that you've saved her
That she's saved you...

[Chorus]
They offer the golden promises
The instantly divine;
You swallow the golden promises
Hook, sinker and line

[Verse 2]
If you choose to throw your soul around the attitude
Reasoning and independent thought go down the tube
As you go slavering after every inane platitude -
How weak you find yourself here
Do you really need to lose yourself completely?
How come you seem to rate it all so cheaply?
It's so weak-kneed

[Chorus]
To go for the golden promises
Mail-order holy vows;
You go for the golden promises -
I think you really ought to know better by now
