Sign by Peter Hammill Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Wrong drink to order
Suspicion grows
Wrong situation...
Oh, no-one knows where you've gone to in the pagan night
And the neon reflections spread cadmium white
You came here looking for something but this wasn't it, quite
Hey, take a Polaroid, exit, and well you might

[Chorus 1]
Sign the picture, get out of the frame;
Sign the picture, and throw it away
Sign the picture, sign the picture, throw the picture away
(Sign the picture, sign the picture)

[Post-Chorus 1]
(Sign the picture) Sign the picture
(Uh, uh-uhh) Sign the picture

[Verse 2]
Now she turns her attention and her camera on you (Sign the picture):
This could be all of the moments that you'll ever live through (Sign the picture)
Oh, but your heart beats the rythm of primeval tattoo... (Sign the picture)
I hear you make your excuses as you usually do (Sign the picture)
[Chorus 1]
Sign the picture, get out of the frame;
Sign the picture, and throw it away
Sign the picture, sign the picture, throw the picture away
(Sign the picture, sign the picture)

[Post-Chorus 2]
Sign!
Sign the picture
(Uh, uh-uhh)
(Sign the picture)
Sign the picture
(Sign the picture) and throw it away;
(Sign the picture) and throw it away;

[Chorus 2]
Sign the picture, get out of the frame;
Sign the picture, and throw it away;
Sign the picture, sign the picture, throw the picture away
Although it's going to come back

[Outro]
You've got a certain knack of making of such things auspicious signs
Auspicious signs
