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 »

As you lie there on your bed 
Beneath the face of Louise Brooks 
With your makeup and your teddy bear 
And your C.S. Lewis books 
Bad seed 
You're a bad seed 

You're a decadent in chrysalis 
Waiting sleepily to emerge 
When you'll visit every seedy need
Of your random obsessive urge 

All the ruses that you use 
All the food that you refuse 
All the dust and tired air that feeds Interior Lulus 
All the poisoned attitudes 
And the lust for the unknown 
And the second best that devils use
To make this world their own

Every rainy day by e-mail 
As you lie there on your bed
Another virtual page arrives 
There will be times when you remember me
Of the chapters you'll be writing 
As the voices echo in your head
In the book called wasted lives 
As you read Henry and Anais

All the lost weekends and booze
All the finger-and-thumb screws 
All the sleepless worn out blues that bruise Interior Lulus

Use the anger 
Paint a picture of it 
Throw the colours 
Use the pain, use the pain

Scream back a brand new emotion 
As it runs across the skin 
Fire across paper
Burn and curl, burn and curl

You thought you couldn't feel like this 
But it's happening again and you're waking up in pain 
Tattooed in that private place 
Microsoft and tears 
Intimately pierced 

Discovering and remembering 
You felt like this somewhere before 
Stirrin' up the bed of the river 
Somewhere you don't like to go 

You wrote this down so many times 
But you get up anyway and you write it down again
You've bored us all to death with this 
Well who you gonna tell 
When you've nothing left to sell 

She says she's lonely
She says she knows me 
But she's a one-way street

She told me what I already know

"If you can carry it out you can take it away
If you can carry it out you can take it away 
If you can buy it, it can be bought 
If you can buy it, it can be stolen
If you can break it 
It's already broken" 

Lately, I can stand to hear other people talking
So many empty conversations 
What a waste of lips 

Lately I can stand to stand on Primrose Hill 
Look down upon the city 
A heart pumping the roads

In our racing stripes 
We rejoice at being "connected"
Without touching 
Thank god for the internet 

We stare at our screens 
All our lives
What a waste of eyes
'Till the electrical storm blows our fuses 
And we gaze, dumbfounded, at the rain 

All the trust and tired care
Left to rust and go nowhere 
All this gold beneath my skin 
Sparklin' like sin somewhere within 
In so deep
In so deep that 
I can't sleep for these interior Lu lu lu lu lus
