Peter Hammill - That Wasn't What I Said lyrics

The way this narrative's unfolding I've got in way above my head, sense I'm about to be held to account for some things I never did, some words I never said. I can tell you're keen to hold my attention though my concentration's starting to fade as you set out your stall and say that you're ready to wait for the pay-out on promises I never made. Don't know where this is going, I don't know if we're speeding up or slowing down. You haven't read the questions, I haven't got the answers now, it looks as though we've run aground. Better bring it on, get the motor running; surely we don't belong, but let's pretend anyway. So the story's gone wrong no-one saw it coming - moving along will we be moving away to another life where we might not be strangers? Might be husband and wife, might find our future a**ured? Time and tide that's enticed, none of that could change us. Oh but you don't think twice, just make up what's gone before. I don't know where that came from, a strange imagination's got a stranglehold on you. You talk as if you know me: in reality you haven't got the faintest clue. And now this narrative's exploding, through a merry dance your fantasies have sped. Still you say my words are in your heart forever: "I'll always love you....". That wasn't what I said.
