Stupid Lyrics

Peter Hammill Stupid

I'm (so stupid)

Along this pilgrim's accidental progress I'd bump into the walls as like as not: It's no surprise I didn't notice when I lost the plot.

I went and did something (so stupid, so dumb)

Error-message ever more intensive, red lights were burning on the air - no I can't say that I was consequentially unaware

when I did something (so stupid, so dumb) I saw it coming (so stupid) now all I want to know is how come (how come?) we're all fingers and thumbs?

Confused but not entirely aimless, though you might find comfort here is faint: if we lived lives that were quite blameless then we'd all be saints: I don't think so.

Get a life: you've got to do something (so stupid) we all do something (so dumb) self-seed our own destruction nobody understands it, how come we're all fingers and thumbs?
