Hammill Peter - Breakthrough Lyrics

The visitors find the children gone from school: aged relations sling their guns across the desks... there'll be no break-time for them unless they talk about tomorrow as though it's already on its way. Amen, oh yes, they're waiting for the breakthroug h in time. The visitors hide no aces up their sleeves and the classroom pulses to many different drums. If only a breakthrough in time would come there'd be some chance for the visited ones. We could talk about tomorrow as though we believed in that. W e could talk about it right now, and it would come as a shock to feel the fingernail grow on the trigger finger - still the visitors clock us waiting for the breakthrough, waiting for the breakthrough with time on our hands. (It's there all the tim e.) Hammill Peter Lyrics Breakthrough Lyrics
