Imperial Zeppelin Songtext
von Peter Hammill

Pack your bags, we′re leaving
Earth, where hate is seething
Nothing's worth believing

There′s no time
Make up your mind

Imperial Zeppelin
Imperial Zeppelin
Imperial Zeppelin

Quick, the engines are turning
Cabin lights are burning
Now there's no returning

We'll have love
A mile above

Imperial Zeppelin
Imperial Zeppelin
Imperial Zeppelin


We, the undersigned
Being of sound mind
Hereby do declare:
"We henceforth pledge ourselves
Unto the power of the Upper Air"

Doesn′t that sound simply super?
Zeppelin visions of the future
Of course we all know very well
It wouldn′t work (Every dice deserves a throw)
But what the hell (And when we get back home below)
We can say we had a go

Overboard we'll be throwing
Seeds of love we′ll be sowing
Hope to God they're growing

Flying high
Across the sky

Imperial Zeppelin
Imperial Zeppelin
Imperial Zeppelin

We will try to do some good
I don′t know why we really should
I only wish that we could

Down below
They'll see and know


Imperial Zeppelin
Imperial Zeppelin
Imperial Zeppelin
Imperial Zeppelin
Imperial Zeppelin
Imperial Zeppelin

Imperial Zeppelin
Imperial Zeppelin
Imperial Zeppelin
Imperial Zeppelin (Ah, it′s so imperial)
Imperial Zeppelin (It's so imperial)
Imperial Zeppelin (Ah, it's so imperial)
Imperial Zeppelin (It′s so imperial)
Imperial Zeppelin (Ah, it′s so imperial)
Imperial Zeppelin
Imperial Zeppelin (Hmm, it's so imperial)
