There's a hot hard hurt
Burnin' under her skin And it pricks her like thorns And it's needles and pins And it twists in her body And I know what it is And I'm paying in pain But it's the cost of the high Till the weight of the secret And the weight of the lie Makes my heart want to bust Feel the ache as time goes by Getting better and worse Getting better and worse And there's a screw that I tighten As I dream of the kiss And it twists and it cuts me And y'know what it is? It's a fragment of love From a splintering heart And it tears her apart But not as much as this So you save up your tears For the moments alone Till the splinters you gather Leave you glass-hard and numb And the same sun is shining On the old and the young On the saints and the sinners On the weak and the strong And there's a burning and freezing And a cross for a kiss So she learns to stop dreaming And you know how it is With these fragments of love And this splintering heart With the fragments And this splintering heart |

Cover my eyes
The light falls on her face Dangerous lines Dangerous colours and shapes Ferocious designs Connected and ready to play Buttoned up tight Crimson and Halloween-white She's like the girl in the movie when the Spitfire falls Like the girl in the picture that he couldn't afford She's like the girl with the smile in the hospital ward Like the girl in the novel in the wind on the moors Pain and heaven Pain and heaven The meaning of life A hair falls out of place Cover my eyes Dangerous colours and shapes And when she moves Cover my eyes She like the girl on the TV with the red guitar Like the girl with the dealer at the end of the bar She's like the girl with the smile in the dream in the dark Like the girl overtaking in the open car Pain and heaven Pain and heaven |

Maybe you're just too upset inside to give it to me straight. Maybe you've become too angry and too close to crying, To say anything I can understand, Or Maybe you're just coming in over my head. Maybe you're just too upset inside, You're too upset inside. How can it hurt if I don't understand? How can it hurt if I don't understand? How can it hurt if I don't understand? How can it hurt if I don't understand? How can it hurt? You're never going to square with me I know so what is there to say? When there's a million words that we could share at night, why do you walk away? And I could write you off and it's over with. Like a damaged car I can't afford to fix. But everything inside me wants to heal your pain. You won't explain, you won't explain. How can it hurt if I don't understand? How can it hurt if I don't understand? How can it hurt if I don't understand? How can I help if I don't understand? How can it hurt? How can it hurt? When I don't understand. When I don't understand. Tell me How can it hurt When I don't understand? etc. |

(Music: Marillion Lyrics: Steve Hogarth)
She bought a bottle of cider From the shop on the corner They didn't stop her Thought she was older She took a bus ride To a name and a number A house full of music And a hat full of wonder And some of the people that She thought that she knew Were never like this When she saw them at school She's never been anywhere like this before Everybody's so out of control She was in a backroom Full of strange aromas And noises and candles That was where he found her He took her to a garden Full of rain and silence And she could smell the soil and the trees And see the succulent light From the little fires in his eyes Pulling shapes out of the night She was enchanted.... Then it's twelve o'clock And the last bus is gone They're gonna go crazy when They hear what she's done And higher is lower And less is like more She's never felt anything like this before Before And then it was yesterday And he said 'Oh, by the way,' 'Welcome to your first party' |

I've got a photograph, I took a picture of you. I took your picture in front of my favourite view. You play the part so well, You look so sure and free. No one could ever tell that you belong to me And 'cos you lie so well, I've got to pin you down. Under lock and key, So you will always be in my.. In my.. My collection. If you can't speak, you can't lie. If you can't run, you can't hide. I know a place you can't die, So no one lives inside.. My collection. I want to capture you. I want to immortalise, The way you play with your hair, The way you flash your eyes. I taste the air you breath. I taste the food you eat. I keep your nails and hair, And some of the clothes you wear. If you can't speak, you can't lie. If you can't run, you can't hide. And if you're dead, you can't die, So no one lives inside.. My collection. I've got some photographs, I'd like to show them to you. Though you don't know the girls, You'll recognise the view. |

You landed in my life
Like a new and brighter light That made all my past seem in the shadow I always used to believe That beauty was skin deep But I need a new word to describe you And the time that it took to take down the wall Was the time that it took for me to fall Hopelessly weak No one can take you away from me now Don't worry if they take me away No one can take you away from me now Don't matter how long we have to wait The days before you came Were really all the same A greyness I used to call freedom Endless nights out with the boys The boasting and the noise To think that I ever believed them No one can take you away from me now Don't worry if they take me away No one can take you away from me now Don't matter how long we have to wait I don't care what they think You're all I believe in I carry you here And there's something of you In everything that I love No one can take you away from me now Don't worry if they take me away No one can take you away from me now Don't matter how long we have to wait No one can take you away from me now Don't worry if they take me away |

Did you ever feel that just by
Jumping on a plane All your cares would drop away And you'd be born again Returning to a nature child Happy wild and free But forgetfulness is a river And you know where the river leads Holidays in Eden Life before the fall See no, hear no, speak no evil Feel no guilt Feel no guilt at all Naked through the jungle Mud between your toes Following the river Where the river flows The creatures of the forest Bid you "Welcome to the dark" Nothing here can hurt you Darkness has no heart Holidays in Eden Paradise regained See no, hear no, speak no evil Throw your past away You wake up one morning Wondering who you are There's a map of a new country up on the wall All your new lovers merge into one You've done everything under the sun There's a date on the air ticket And the money's gone Back in your own country Nothing seems the same No one comes around at night Or uses your new name Hearing silent whispers Old friends are acting strange No one wants to know you now People say you've changed Holidays in Eden Life before the fall See no, hear no, speak no evil Feel no guilt at all Holidays in Eden Paradise and light Heaven loses you to this world Leaves you alone Kiss your home goodbye (She says she's lonely) |

now when you climb
into your bed tonight and when you lock and bolt the door just think of those out in the cold and dark cause there,s not enough love to go around and sympathy is what we need my friend and sympathy is what we need my friend and sympathy is what we need my friend cause there,s not enough love to go around now half the world hates the other half and half the world has all the food and half the world lies down and quiethy starves cause there,s not enough love to goround |

In all the time that I've known you
You've been so edgy and nervous I never wanted to own you I was aware of the danger Of making a bid for your favours You're such a natural stranger I made excuses and ran You're an island But I can't leave you all out at sea You're so violent with your silence You're an island I can't sleep Won't you speak to me I'm on dry land Won't you help me please In all the time that I've known you There has been something between us I don't hink it's my imagination I felt like I couldn't touch you But I had the feeling you'd love to Tell me the truth if you could do I made excuses and ran |

Something is coming out of the rain, magic
It's happening again, like the last time I don't know how it happens, but I know what to do Coming up from the ground, I think it's you I will walk on the water You sent me the red sun and the purple sky Cirrus clouds and grins Atoms of roses The power to do anything In the chaos of colours And the fluttering of wings You carry me up And I'm free again Don't let anyone tell you This is impossible What we have here is bigger than fear I will walk on water Don't let anyone tell you This is impossible Hold on to me Believe what you see I will walk on water |

I lie awake at night
Listening to you sleeping I hear the darkness breathe And the rain against the window After all this time Cynical and jaded All the stones are diamonds All the blues are faded Everything I've been through All I've seen and heard Spent so much of my life In the spiritual third world But you came and brought the rain here Something waiting to happen Something learning to fly We can talk without talking From inside to inside I have waited to feel this For the whole of my life We took ourselves apart We talked about our faces You said you didn't like yours I said I disagree I keep the pieces separate I clutch them in my coat A jogsaw of an angel I can do when I feel low From emptiness and dryness The famine of our days Watch the heaves open Wash it all away You came and brought the rain here Something waiting to happen Something learning to fly On the edge of exploding Something wild and alive Something waiting to happen Anytime that you like I have waited to feel this For the whole of my life |

(Music: Marillion Lyrics: Steve Hogarth)
The cars leave their trails of hot & cold light inside my head Like burned-in long exposure pictures The wheels spin slowly backwards Strobing in the amber light And the rain comes down and washes my brain But it don't get clean This town has turned me into what I have become This town dresses me up like a stranger This town performs in the window like the ultimate gift This town takes us down I feel like I'm losing you to this town We were saving our money for half of our lives We were saving our dreams And we came to this place to make the chances real in the big city But I've been counting the days I've been watching you change And I can feel it dying The noise outside takes you in its arms like a lamb to a lion And down there somewhere among the noise The magazine dolls and the big money boys Move silently on their easy heels They move silently on their greasy wheels This town has turned me into what I have become This town dresses you up like a stranger This town hangs around in the doorway and tells me I'm late This town takes us down, takes us down I feel like I'm losing you to this town The morning breaks and I watch you awake and this town takes you down away from me again |

I saw you there last night
In the latest place You were taking in the scenery Hungry for a new face Seems what I said to you Didn't change your mind You could open your eyes, realise You don't need anyone Who's always on the phone You don't need anyone Who won't leave you alone You don't need anyone Who'd want you to cut him a key You don't need anyone Out on the streets today In the clothes you bought And your glossy picture pages Full of other people's thoughts Will you just wander along Live your life this way 'Till some magazine shows you what to do You don't need anyone Who's always on the phone You don't need anyone Who won't leave you alone To fill up the holes in your life To tell you what you're needing And make you do what you don't like You don't need anyone To show you where to go And turn you into somebody You wouldn't even want to know You don't need anyone As far as I can see You don't need anyone But Me |

A hundred night of fun and games
A thousand empty glasses I feel it change And stay the same As each day passes They invite me to their gathering In the finer parts of town They seem attracted to my indifference The irony just knocks me out And I love them as if I love them And they reciprocate with help But I look up at these mirrors sometimes And I can't see myself They say that some are born to burn And some are born to give They say that some people live and learn Some people only live and live You don't know that I come here If you did you would know why So we close our eyes You didn't notice me As i passed you on the stairs How could you ever guess Lookin' at my face How closely I share your taste How well I know your place Even the clothes you wear I've seen them when you're not there You say that you can win win win If you know how to play the game But while you're out there playing you see There's something you should know She spends your money She spends your money on me |
