(fish, steve rothery, mark kelly, pete trewavas, ian mosley) Where do we go from here? Where do we go from here, where do we go from here Where do we go from here, where do we go from here They boarded up the synagogues uzis on a street corner You can’t take a photograph of […]
(fish / marillion) When i hit the streets back in ’81 Found a heart in the gutter and a poet’s crown I felt barbed wire kisses and icicle tears Where have i been for all these years? I saw political intrigue, political lies Gonna wipe those smiles of self-satisfaction from their eyes I will wear […]
(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 […]
Sugar Mice - The Thieving Magpie
(fish, steve rothery, mark kelly, pete trewavas, ian mosley) I was flicking through the channels on the tv On a sunday in milwaukee in the rain Trying to piece together conversations Trying to find out where to lay the blame But when it comes right down to it there’s no use trying to pretend For […]
