What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
(Hammill)
2
Pretty keen - yes, my hobby keeps me busy
3
and if I talk to myself, what's the crime?
4
In the darkroom I am a dealer in space and time....
5
When all memory is mellowed,
6
when the photograph is yellowed,
7
still it never lies.
8
There you are, your eyes laced with secret pleasure,
9
saying that you're on the way to change,
10
devouring in inordinate measure
11
every diversion that's arranged.
12
For every appetite, a cruel attraction,
13
but there's a panic in your actions...
14
oh, I never saw you look so strange.
15
Fixing memory chemically,
16
holding time on the stop-clock,
17
hanging back from that last frame
18
just in case it didn't show you
19
in the way I used to know you...
20
I thought you'd always stay the same.
21
(But you won't.)
22
Oh, the red light, the silver, the black and the bromide;
23
the silence, the waiting for overview....
24
The past seems under-exposed, low tide,
25
but still the images ghost through.
26
And you're there in the bath,
27
which is all this has led to,
28
and I can't say your path
29
is a right one to choose....
30
But then I only have a negative of you.
