lyrics

Seagulls on a frozen lake
A vision of hell by William Blake
Or something a lot less menacing
Like a Peter Bruegel winter scene

Seagulls on a frozen lake
How much longer is it going to take
Before the ice starts to thaw?
Before the end of the war?

Motionless, they contemplate their fate
At least the geese and starlings can migrate

Seagulls on a frozen lake
Enjoyment for enjoyment’s sake
With a paperback and a cup of tea
I could face an eternity

Seagulls on a frozen lake
How much longer is it going to take?
This is becoming a chore
Like an extended metaphor

Motionless, they contemplate their fate
Like Heraclitus said, this place is dead
