Nothing Comes Songtext
von Peter Hammill

Consternation out of the box
As the conversation runs onto the rocks
In full expectation
Nothing comes as a shock

It′s all plain sailing in the dry dock
It's all downhill from here in the rubble
Taking stock with no sense of feeling
Nothing comes as a shock


You remind me of the girlfriend I never had
Never fitted the equation, I was never quite one of the lads
Still I remember that my feelings were always touch and go
Once I thought I knew all that, now I just don′t know

The wrap's about to happen, the scene is already blocked
Black-out's already plotted, and the camera′s are locked
When everything′s over
Nothing comes as a shock
Nothing comes as a shock
Nothing comes as a shock
Nothing comes as a shock

I remember that my feelings were always touch and go
Once I thought I knew it all, now I just don't know
