Peter Hammill – Sign lyrics

Wrong drink to order
Suspicion grows, wrong situation
Oh, no one knows where
You've gone to in the pagan night

And the neon reflections spread cadmium white
You came here looking for something
But this wasn't it quite
Hey, take a Polaroid, exit and, well, you might

Sign the picture, get out of the frame
Sign the picture and throw it away
Sign the picture, sign the picture
Throw the picture away
(Sign the picture, sign the picture)

Sign the picture
Sign the picture
Sign the picture

Now she turns her attention
And her camera on you
(Sign the picture)
This could be all of the moments
That you'll ever live through
(Sign the picture)

Oh, but your heart beats
The rhythm of primeval tattoo
(Sign the picture)
I hear you make your excuses
As you usually do
(Sign the picture)

Sign the picture, get out of the frame
Sign the picture and throw it away
Sign the picture, sign the picture
Throw the picture away
(Sign the picture, sign the picture)
Sign

Sign the picture
Sign the picture
Sign the picture

Sign the picture
And throw it away
Sign the picture
And throw it away

Sign the picture, get out of the frame
Sign the picture and throw it away
Sign the picture, sign the picture
Throw the picture away

Although it's going to come back
You've got a certain knack
Of making of such things
Auspicious signs, auspicious signs
