(Music: Marillion Lyrics: Steve Hogarth & John Helmer)
2
Heading for the great escape
3
Heading for the rave
4
Heading for the permanent holiday
5
Heading for the winter trip
6
Heading for the slide
7
Heading for the dignified walk away
8
Heading for the open road
9
Goodbye to all that
10
Heading for the automatic overload
11
Standing in the open boat
12
Standing in the swing
13
Waiting for the ringing and the bright light
14
Waiting to be recognised
15
Quiet applause will do
16
They shower you with flowers when they bury you
17
You're holding on, you're holding on ...
18
(i) the last of you
19
Just when I thought I'd seen the last of you
20
You come here scratchin' at my door
21
Your pain and anger's in the howling dark
22
Of every corridor I walk
23
So tell me more about the love that you rejected
24
Tell me more about the trust you disrespected
25
I still don't know, why did you hurt the very one
26
Why did you hurt the very one that you should have protected?
27
(ii) fallin' from the moon
28
Don't ask me why I'm doing this
29
You wouldn't understand
30
You're asking the wrong questions
31
You couldn't understand
32
A bridge is not a high place
33
The fifty-second floor
34
Icarus would know
35
A mountain isn't far to fall
36
When you've fallen from the moon
37
There's murder on the street
38
I'm ashes on the water now, somewhere far away
39
I have fallen, fallen from the moon
