lyrics

Hats Off To Hofmann
Words & Music by Neil Pike ©1997
The Angel, the Ox and the Eagle & Snake
Were down at the crossroads dividing the cake
And you can’t criticise what you helped to create
When it all comes true.

Sometimes it seems I’m inclined to the notion
All that belongs here is Earth, Air & Ocean
Forest, fresh water and most of the animals too
Except perhaps for me & you.

Chorus:
How much of this even really exists?
It’s an ocean of wonder, a mountain of bliss.
Most of the time, it’s a circular line we draw.
And we still come back for more.
I don’t know how I would, I don’t know if I could
Even start to remember it.
Once in a while when the wind starts to smile & then
Well it all comes back again.

I came to a lake that was covered with fire.
Christened by love I was burnt by desire.
All I could feel was a hunger that seemed quite real.
I reached for the moon & the stars seemed to shatter
All that I knew was it doesn’t much matter
My hooves were a’tapping, My wings were a’flapping
And the sky fell down.

Chorus:
How much of this even really exists?
It’s an ocean of wonder, a mountain of bliss.
Most of the time, it’s a circular line we draw.
And we still come back for more.
I don’t know how I would, I don’t know if I could
Even start to remember it.
Once in a while when the wind starts to smile & then
Well it all comes back again

Well I dreamed of a world that was green again…

about

The Pagan Love Cult image

The Pagan Love Cult Australia

The Pagan Love Cult is the longest running psychedelic musical group in Oztralia. Operating in one form or another since the 1970s and based in the tiny rainforest-shrouded hippie town of Nimbin, their music is a hypnotic mixture of acoustic instruments, emotive vocals, swirling soundscapes, solid drums and intelligent lyrics. Close your eyes, relax and take the journey... ... more
