Warm Wet Circles

About Warm Wet Circles

Warm Wet Circles is a song by the British neo-progressive rock band Marillion. It was the third single from their fourth studio album Clutching at Straws, released on 26 October 1987. "Warm Wet Circles" peaked at number 22 in the UK Singles Chart, becoming the band's 9th top-thirty hit in a row, and remained on the chart for four weeks. The music video featured footage of the band's concert at Lorelei in West Germany on 18 July 1987. The b-side is a live recording of "White Russian", another track from Clutching at Straws also made during the Loreley concert (see Live from Loreley). The 12" version additionally contains a version of "Incommunicado" from this concert. In Argentina, the single was published under the Spanish title "Círculos Húmedos y Cálidos". A CD replica of the single was also part of a collectors box-set released in July 2000 which contained Marillion's first twelve singles and was re-issued as a 3-CD set in 2009 (see The Singles '82–'88). more »

On promenades where drunks propose to lonely arcade mannequins
Where ceremonies pause at the jeweller's shop display
Feigning casual silence in strained romantic interludes 
'Til they commit themselves to the muted journey home 
And the pool player rests on another cue 
Last nights hero picking up his dues 

A honeymoon gambled on a ricochet 
She's staring at the brochures at the holidays 
Chalking up a name in your hometown 
Standing all your mates to another round
Laughing at the world 'til the barman wipes away the warm wet circles
The warm wet circles 

I saw teenage girls like gaudy moths 
A classroom's shabby butterflies
Flirt in the glow of stranded telephone boxes
Planning white lace weddings from smeared hearts and token proclamations
Rolled from stolen lipsticks across the razored webs of glass 

Sharing cigarettes with experience with her giggling jealous confidantes
She faithfully traces his name with quick bitten fingernails 
Through the tears of condensation that'll cry through the night 
As the glancing headlights of the last bus kiss adolescence goodbye
In a warm wet circle 

Like a mothers kiss on your first broken heart, a warm wet circle 
Like a bullet hole in Central Park, a warm wet circle 
And I'll always surrender to the warm wet circles 

She nervously undressed in the dancing beams of the Fidra lighthouse
Giving it all away before it's too late 
She'll let a lovers tongue move in a warm wet circle 
Giving it all away and showing no shame 
She'll take a mother's kiss on her first broken heart a warm wet circle
She'll realise that she played her part in a warm wet circle

Marillion

Marillion are a British rock band, formed in Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire, England, in 1979. Their recorded studio output since 1982 is composed of seventeen albums generally regarded in two distinct eras, delineated by the departure of original frontman Fish in late 1988, and the subsequent arrival of replacement Steve Hogarth in early 1989. All four albums released with Fish were commercial successes, and the band released eleven Top 40 hits on the UK Singles Chart, including 1985's "Kayleigh", which reached No. 2 and became their biggest hit single. more »
