Imperial Zeppelin (chris Judge Smith)
Peter Hammill
Pack your bags, we're leaving
Earth, where hate is seething;
Nothing's worth believing....
There's no time, make up your mind!
Imperial Zeppelin....
Quick, the engines are turning,
Cabin lights are burning,
Now there's no returning....
We'll have love a mile above...
Imperial Zeppelin, Imperial Zeppelin, Imperial Zeppelin!
We, the undersigned, being of sound mind,
Hereby do declare:
'We henceforth pledge ourselves unto the power
Of the Upper Air. '
Doesn't that sound simply super,
Zeppelin visions of the future?
Of course we all know very well
It wouldn't work, but what the hell -
Every dice deserves a throw,
And when we get back home below
We can say we had a go!
Overboard we are throwing
Seeds of love we are sowing,
Hope to God they're growing....
Flying high across the sky:
Imperial Zeppelin!
We will try to do some good,
I don't know why we really should,
I only wish that we could!
Down below they'll see and know all about
Imperial Zeppelin!
Imperial Zeppelin!
Imperial Zeppelin!
