Peter Hammill - Evidently Goldfish lyrics

Check the honesty of what's on offer, true detective or a fake fakir? All the evidence is circumstantial – as mud the evidence is clear. Paranormal the investigation – where do things go when they disappear? All the evidence has been trumped up… as mud the evidence is clear, I think we're on to something here, I think we're into something, I don't know but maybe we're all goldfish in the mental sphere. Evidently goldfish, never questioning environment; self-evidently goldfish, we swim in circular experience. Church of logical deliberation, school of accidental wheels in gear, surface knowledge is a serious matter, a little consciousness is dangerous, dear; all the evidence must be summed up – as mud the evidence is clear, as mud the evidence is clear, I think we're into something, I don't know but maybe we're all goldfish in the mental sphere. Evidently goldfish never question their environment; self-evidently goldfish, we swim in circular experience; evidently goldfish, round and round and round and round within our consciousness in the mental sphere. As mud the evidence is clear.
