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 »

You ask me how I'm feeling 
I only wish you knew 
How hard it is for me to share 
Share that kind of thing with you 

It's not that I don't love you 
It's just I can't connect 
'Cause I was taught from much too young 
To shine and not reflect 

And if you sense a smoke screen here 
A trick of the dry ice 
Just try to see there's more to me 
Than sour grapes and sugar mice 

Just try to understand 
I don't say all I can 
A stranger to myself, I am 
An accidental man 

You ask me if I'm happy 
I only wish I knew 
'Cause happiness is not a thing 
I ever learned to do 

It's not that I'm complaining 
It's all the same to me 
If everything that happens 
Happens accidentally 

Just try to understand 
I don't say all I can 
A stranger to myself, I am 
An accidental man 
A stranger to myself, I am 
An accidental man 

I was taught for every secret 
There's a price you have to pay 
Yes, I was taught for every secret 
There's a price you have to pay 
I was taught from much too young 
To never give myself away 

Just try to understand 
I don't say all I can 
A stranger to myself, I am 
An accidental man 
Just try to understand 
I don't do all I can 
A mystery to burned-out love 
An accidental man
