Lavender Lyrics By Marillion

Track 3 from _Misplaced Childhood_
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 to be a song for you,
the one I wanted to write for you, for you, you.
Lavenders blue, dilly dilly, lavenders green.
When I am King, dilly dilly, you will be Queen.
A penny for your thoughts my dear,
A penny for your thoughts my dear,
I.O.U. for your love, I.O.U. for your love.
Lavenders green, dilly dilly, lavenders blue.
When you love me, dilly dilly, I will love you.
A penny for your thoughts my dear,
A penny for your thoughts my dear,
I.O.U. for your love, I.O.U. for your love.
For your love, for your love, for your love.

Season's End Lyrics By Marillion

Track 4 of _Season's End_
Getting close to season's end
I heard somebody say
That it might never snow again
In England
Snowflakes in a newborn fist
Sledging on a hill
Are thes things we'll never see
InEngland?
We'll tell our children's children why
We grew so tall and reached so high
We left our footprints in the Earth
And punched a hole right through the sky
We'll tell them how we changed the world
And how we tamed the sea
And season's they will never know
In England
So watch the old world melt away
A loss regrets could never mend
You never miss it till it's gone
So say goodbye say goodbye
To season's end
[JOHN HELMER and STEVE HOGARTH]

One Fine Day Lyrics By Marillion

When we were young we used to say
Things would be different
One fine day
The walls would crumble
Nations sing as one
We live in hope, 'cause so far
It hasn't come
Listenin' to the pouring rain
Waiting for the world to change
Beginning to wonder if we'll wait in vain
For one fine day
Oh, how years change the things for which we strive
A better world.. or just a quiet life
What seemed so simple Is still so far away
Don't hold you breath waitin For one fine day
Listenin' to the pouring rain
Waiting for the world to change
Beginning to wonder if we'll wait in vain
For one fine day
Life is strange
It can seem you're high and dry
Turn around
You find there's nothing in this world you recognise
Did we fall asleep babe?
Dreaming that dream babe?
Listenin' to the pouring rain...
Did we fall asleep babe?
Dreaming that dream babe?

Incommunicado Lyrics By Marillion

I'd be really pleased to meet you
if only I could remember your name

But I got problems with my memory
ever since I got a winner in the fame game.
I'm a citizen of Legoland travellin' incommunicado

And I don't give a damn for the Fleet Street afficionados.

But I don't want to be
The backpage interview

I don't want launderette anonymity.
I want my handprints in the
Concrete on Sunset Boulevard

A dummy in Tussauds
you'll see.
Incommunicado
incommunicado

Incommunicado
incommunicado.

I'm a marquee veteran

A multi-media bonafide celebrity

I've got an allergy to Perrier

Daylight and responsability.
I'm a rootin'-tootin' cowboy

A Peter Pan with street credibility

Always taking the point with
The dawn patrol fraternity.

Sometimes it seems like I've been here before
When I hear opportunity kicking in my door.
Call it synchronicity
call it 'deja vu'

I just put my faifh in destiny
it's the way that

But I dont want to be a tin can tied
To the bumper of a wedding limousine.
Or currently residing in the where-are-they-now-file

A toupee on the cabaret scene.
I wanna do adverts for American Express cards

talk shows on prime time TV

A villa in France
my own cocktail bar
and that's where you're gonna find me.
Incommunicado
incommunicado
incommunicado
incommunicado.

Sometimes it seems like I've been here before . . .

Incommunicado
incommunicado
incommunicado

incommunicado is the only way.
In-com-mu-nicado
in-com-mu-nicado

in-com-mu-nicado
in-com-mu-nicado.

He Knows, You Know Lyrics By Marillion

Light switch, yellow fever, crawling up your bathroom wallSinging psychedelic praises to the depths of the china bowlYou've got venom in your stomach, You've got poison in your headYou should have listen to the priest at theConfession when he offered you the sacred bread
He knows, you know, he knows, you knowHe knows, you know, but he's got problems
Fast feed, crystal fever, swarming through a fractured mindChilling needles freeze emotion, the blind shall lead the blindYou've got venom in your stomach, You've got poison in your headWhen your conscience whispered, the vein lines stiffenedYou were walking with the dead
He knows, you know, he knows, you know, he knows, you knowHe's got experience, he's got experience, he knows you knowBut he's got problems, problems, problems
He knows... Slash wrists, scarlet feverCrawl under your bedroom doorPumping arteries ooze their problemsThrough the gap that the razor toreYou've got venom in your stomachYou've got poison in your headYou should have listened to your analyst'sQuestions when you lay on his leather bed
He knows, you know, he knows, you knowHe knows, you know, but he's got problems
Blank eyes, purple fever streaming through the frosted panesYou learned your lesson far too late from the links in a chemist chainYou've got venom in your stomach, You've got poison in your headYou should have stayed at home and talkedWith father listen to the lies he fed
He knows, you know, he knows, you knowHe knows, you know, but he's got problemsHe knows, you know, he knows, you knowHe knows, you know he's got experienceHe's got experience, he knows you knowHe knows you know

Waiting To Happen Lyrics By Marillion

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

Bridge Lyrics By Marillion

Staring out over the bridge
A million photo flashes from the water down below
Dawn light bouncing through the mist
Roar of traffic and the crack of police radios
When they ask her name
Would she please explain
She simply chooses to say........ nothing.

The Space Lyrics By Marillion

Track 9 of _Season's End_
On top of the world like a flag on a mountain
Feeling so high you can feel so alone
Unable to breathe at the height that you flew
Staring on clouds with no view of below
On top of a girl like a dream in a hotel
Falling towards something out of control
Unable to miss like the man in the tram
Crashing his car in Amsterdam
He did it without knowing
Didn't feel a thing
Just wrecked it and kept going
The space around the stars
Is something that you know
A billion miles of darkness
Left you feeling low
Everything about you
So perfectly restrained
But everything inside you
Bites you
Everybody in the whole of the world
Feels the same inside
Everybody in the whole of the whole of the whole of the world
Everyone is only everyone else
Everybody's got to know
Everybody lives and loves and laughs and cries
And eats and sleeps and grows and dies
Everybody in the whole of the world is the same this time
