Peter Hammill - Stupid Lyrics

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?
