(Fish / Marillion)
2
a) Vocal Under A Bloodlight
3
Last night you said I was cold, untouchable
4
A lonely piece of action from another town
5
I just want to be free, I'm happy to be lonely
6
Can't you stay away?
7
Just leave me alone with my thoughts
8
Just a runaway, just a runaway, I'm saving myself
9
b) Passing Strangers
10
Strung out below a necklace of carnival lights
11
Cold moan, held on the crest of the night
12
I'm too tired to fight
13
So now we're passing strangers, at single tables
14
Still trying to get over, still trying to write love songs for passing strangers
15
All those passing strangers
16
And the twinkling lies, all those twinkling lies
17
Sparkle with the wet ink on the paper
18
c) Mylo
19
Oh I remember Toronto when Mylo went down
20
And we sat and we cried on the phone
21
I never felt so alone
22
He was the first of our own
23
Some of us go down in a blaze of obscurity
24
Some of us go down in a haze of publicity
25
The price of infamy, the edge of insanity
26
Another Holiday Inn, another temporary home
27
And an interviewer threatened me with a microphone
28
'Talk to me, won't you tell me your stories.'
29
So I talked about conscience and I talked about pain
30
And he looked out the window and it started to rain
31
I thought maybe I've already gone crazy
32
So I reached for a bottle and he reached for the door
33
And I picked up the sleeping pills crushed on the floor
34
Inviting me to a casual obscenity
35
d) Perimeter Walk
36
It would be incredible if we could retrace all the times that we lived here
37
All the collisions
38
Wasted, I've never been so wasted
39
I've never been this far out before
40
Perimeter walk
41
There's a presence here
42
I feel could have been ancient, I could have been mystical
43
There's a presence
44
A childhood, my childhood
45
My childhood, childhood
46
A misplaced childhood
47
My childhood, a misplaced childhood
48
Give it back to me, give it back to me
49
A childhood, that childhood, that childhood, that childhood, that childhood
50
Oh please give it back to me
51
e) Threshold
52
I saw a war widow in a launderette
53
Washing the memories from her husband's clothes
54
She had medals pinned to a threadbare greatcoat
55
A lump in her throat with cemetery eyes
56
I see convoys curbcrawling West German Autobahns
57
Trying to pick up a war
58
They're going to even the score
59
Oh... I can't take any more
60
I see black flags on factories
61
Soup ladies poised on the lips of the poor
62
I see children with vacant stares, destined for rape in the alleyways
63
Does anybody care, I can't take any more!
64
Should we say goodbye?
65
Hey
66
I see priests, politicians?
67
The heroes in black plastic body-bags under nations' flags
68
I see children pleading with outstretched hands, drenched in napalm, this is no Vietnam
69
I can't take any more, should we say goodbye
70
How can we justify?
71
They call us civilised!
