[00:00.00]Modern (2006 Digital Remaster) - Peter Hammill
[00:09.94]Jericho's strange throbbing with life at its heart
[00:16.41]People are drawn together simultaneously torn apart
[00:26.03]Foundations are shattered in the city
[00:28.91]Inside the barricaded doors
[00:33.13]Hiding behind their walls lonely as night falls
[00:42.22]Maybe the people are waiting for trumpets
[00:48.28]Babylon's strange seventh wonder of the earth
[00:54.53]Gardens ablaze in colour slowly rotting in the dirt
[01:04.98]Yes and with your head on fire you know
[01:08.84]You can't really see
[01:11.64]The hanging gardens sing
[01:15.81]But with a hollow ring
[01:23.50]The life is false its killing me
[01:33.95]Don't look back or you'll turn to stone look around
[01:45.45]Before your life is overgrown
[01:50.66]With concrete slabs
[01:54.59]On your back the searching eyes that stab
[02:05.56]Between chintz curtains glinting
[02:10.77]But never owning to a name
[02:17.94]Like the inmates of asylums
[02:21.33]All the citizens are contagiously
[02:25.94]Insane
[06:08.26]Atlantis is strange the explosion of an age
[06:14.65]No-one really knows what to do and the city
[06:19.02]Is a cage
[06:23.90]It traps in ashen hours and concrete towers
[06:27.01]Imprisons in the social order
[06:30.61]The city's lost its way
[06:34.01]Madness takes hold today
[06:37.20]Today today today today today today
[06:41.75]I can't live under water
[06:49.35]I can't live under water
[06:57.41]I can't live under water
