Van Der Graaf Generator
I'd just done the best work
To fall into my hands for quite some time:
Of night oil i'd burned much,
Made sure both style and content were sublime
So i put it forward
To the public forum
In anticipation of my due acclaim.
And meanwhile, by contrast,
I'd penned a eulogy, pure workaday,
Just hack work, just dashed off,
Packed full of prolix puff and sad cliche....
No-one can really tell
When their hand's been played out well
And i don't even know
How my own story goes
Or if it's worth a jot.
I can't see my stream.
What i thought was perfect,
What i thought was polished,
No-one thought it worth much
And they made that clear.
What i thought was worthless,
Merely repetition
Somehow tugged the heartstrings,
Brought them all to tears.
I can't see my stream.
No-one can ever know
What of their own's their very best.
