Peter Hammill - What I Did lyrics

A pretty pa** in the rear-view mirror, it's coming on the overtake... I've got to stop panicking, got to stay cool, got to learn to live with my mistakes. Overdue debt to the taxman, I tried to have and eat my cake. I think I must have been crazy in retrospect; all the lines run together but they just don't seem to connect. I think I must have been crazy to do all the things I did... try to keep the pot on a gentle simmer, but something blows off the lid. I want to update my memory, I want to rewrite my past... Ooh, now I found out: no chance. I think I must have been crazy (Crazy, crazy, crazy, crazy, yeah) to do the stuff I did. I think I must have been crazy, crazy, crazy. (Crazy, crazy, crazy, crazy, yeah) to do the stuff I did. I think I must have been crazy, crazy, crazy... I think I must have been crazy but that's the price we pay – every lucky throw of the dice will come back to us one of these days. I want to update my memory, I want to rewrite my past, I don't like what it's telling me, it all floods back so fast; I guess I was my own worst enemy, now I've come to a pretty pa**. A pretty pa**, a pretty pa**, there's nothing pretty in the past. I think I must have been crazy (Crazy, crazy, crazy, crazy, yeah) to do the stuff I did. I think I must have been crazy, crazy, crazy... Crazy to do what I did.
