The Silent Corner and the Empty Stage, 1974

Once, all the stars in the sky were bright,

now they're red and fading

and all the colours we wore, the shades that we bore have moved.

And the gold turns to red with no time for changes.

Red Shift, all moving away from we.

Once, constellations were holy, now darkness

pervades all the older ones

and in the brunt of implosion, all yesterday's golden

now reddened suns

and hope is a word with no space for blame in.

Red Shift, displaced now in time and relativity,

Red Shift, all moving away from we.

So here I am, though I might well be with me,

I'm falling down deep to the rim of the wheel.

Is it sham?

Does the world have a meaning?

The more that we know , the greater confusion grows:

stars are like atoms, and atoms are patterns

and probably in the end

maybe its all been a dream ....

Time locked in negative matter,

all theories shatter beneath the weight.

Happy is the man who believes that the world

is a dream and all reason, fate.

And time moves on with no time,

the eye moves on with no rhyme,

and I'm a song in the depth of the galaxies.

Red Shift is taking away my sanity,

Red Shift, all moving away from we ....

Peter Hammill's music is challenging. Bowie is a trendy opportunist/businessman masquerading as an artist.

Randy California plays the guitar solos in this song. This information came from Peter Hammills' lyrics & liner notes from the album The Silent Corner & the Empty stage, 1974. An amazing album released after Chameleon in the Shadow of Night & befour In Camera.

@cmikex2 One word? Image. I love bowie and Peter Hammill. But peter didn't have that 'image' that bowie did. Whether it was glam or whatever it was.

Just a question,how come David Bowie is so well known and this guy isn't.Even Johnny Rotten thought PH was great.
