Sign - Live by Peter Hammill Lyrics

[Instrumental Intro]

[Verse 1]
Wrong drink to order
The suspicion grows
Steong 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

[Instrumental]

[Verse 2]
Now she turns her attention and her camera on you:
This could be all of the moments that you'll ever live through
And your heart beats the rythm of primeval tattoo...
I hear you make your excuses as you usually do
So go on
[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

[Instrumental]
[Guitar Solo]

[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

[Spoken Outro]
Thank you
That was Sign
