It's a hemlock world that we must drink -
swallow hard and don't try to think.

Patience was Peter Hammill's second album with the K Group and is very much a conceptual companion to its predecessor, Enter K.

Perhaps richer and more complex, the album contains Hammill signature song Labour Of Love, poignant ballad Just Good Friends (later covered by Marc Almond) and the menacing closer, Patient.
