Lavender - Misplaced Childhood
(derek dick, steve rothery, mark kelly, pete trewavas, ian mosley) I was walking in the park Dreaming of a spark When i heard the sprinklers whisper Shimmer in the haze of summer lawns. Then i heard the children singing They were running through the rainbows. They were singing a song for you Well it seemed […]
Kayleigh - Misplaced Childhood
(fish, steve rothery, mark kelly, pete trewavas, ian mosley) Do you remember chalk hearts melting on a playground wall Do you remember dawn escapes from moon washed college halls Do you remember the cherry blossom in the market square Do you remember i thought it was confetti in our hair By the way didn’t i […]
Freaks - Misplaced Childhood
(derek dick, mark kelly, steve rothery, peter trewavas, ian mosley) Have you ever met a lady, screaming angst potential? Have you ever dreamed of romance, no matter how experimental? Have you ever felt an alien drifting back into your hometown? Did you think you were buying safety when you bought that piece of ground? She […]
Lady Nina - Misplaced Childhood
(fish, steve rothery, mark kelly, pete trewavas, ian mosley) You pick out your credit cards and check into the night A dozen tequilas and you’re feeling all right So you swim to the disco, out of your depth jaded gigolo Your lucky charms are tarnished so you leave alone But there’s one place left to […]

(fish / marillion) A) vocal under a bloodlight Last night you said i was cold, untouchable A lonely piece of action from another town I just want to be free, i’m happy to be lonely Can’t you stay away? Just leave me alone with my thoughts Just a runaway, just a runaway, i’m saving myself […]
(fish / marillion) A love song with no validity Pretend you never meant that much to me Numb, a valium child, bored by meaningless collisions A lonely stretch of headlight, diamonds trapped in black ice A mirror cracked among the white lines I just wanted you to be the first one I just wanted you […]
(fish / marillion) When the taxis gather in mock solemnity Funeral hearses court the death of virginity Was it paradise lost or paradise found? Did we gain respect or were we holding ground? You had found true love, or so you believed And the wideboys tattooed your hearts upon their sleeves So when you think […]
(derek dick, steve rothery, mark kelly, pete trewavas, ian mosley) On the outskirts of nowhere On the ringroad to somewhere On the verge of indecision I’ll always take the roundabout way Waiting on the rain For i was born with a habit From a sign The habit of a windswept thumb And the sign of […]
