Robyn Hitchcock es un poeta, pintor, actor, cantante y compositor británico nacido en 1953. Su primera grabación la hizo en el año 1976 con la banda The Soft Boys. Se separaron en 1981, y Hitchcock comenzó su carrera en solitario con el nombre Robyn Hitchcock & The Egyptians. Las influencias de Hitchcock incluyen a Bob Dylan y la psicodelia de Syd Barrett. Sus letras son serias, expresadas de una forma poco seria. Su disco de 2002, "Robyn Sings", era un tributo a Bob Dylan incluyendo sólo canciones suyas.

Serpent at the Gates of Wisdom by Robyn Hitchcock
GDCG - DC Serpent at the Gates of Wisdom, curling round a tree GDCG - DC With your eyes so dark and empty looking straight through me GDBbC How did you get so unwinding, do you know my sin? GDCGBbDC When you're so close to the answer, why don't you go in?
Serpent at the gates of Wisdom, who did you decieve She was weak, but that's no reason for what you did to Eve You're a fool - You broke the stillness. She gave birth to desire Rolling dowen the frozen highwaay like a buring tyre
Serpent at the gates of wisdom, where do you belong? Wisdom cannot be transmitted, it keeps you hanging on. Do you really serve the Devil if it's all God's plan? Good and evil need each other. Honey I'm your man.
Serpent at the gates of wisdom, like a purple scar Leering at me round the dashboard as I reach my car. I close the door, I start the engine, and I take control. God above and all his angels, have mercy on your soul.
