Bunsho - Van Der Graaf Generator

作曲：Guy Evans/Hugh Banton/Peter Hammill

I'd just done the best work

To fall into my hands for quite some time

Of night oil I'd burned much

Made sure both style and content were sublime

So I put it forward

To the public forum

In anticipation of my due acclaim

And meanwhile by contrast

I'd penned a eulogy pure workaday

Just hack work just dashed off

Packed full of prolix puff and sad cliche

No-one can really tell

When their hand's been played out well

And I don't even know

How my own story goes

Or if it's worth a jot

I can't see my stream

I can't see my stream

What I thought was perfect

What I thought was polished

No-one thought it worth much

And they made that clear

What I thought was worthless

Merely repetition

Somehow tugged the heartstrings

Brought them all to tears

I can't see my stream

I can't see my stream

I can't see my stream

No-one can ever know

What of their own's their very best
