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 »

There's a hot hard hurt
Burning under her skin 
And it pricks her like thorns 
And it's needles and pins 
And it twists in her body
And I know what it is 

And I'm paying in pain 
But it's the cost of the high 
'Till the weight of the secret 
And the weight of the lie 
Makes my heart want to burst 
Feel the ache as time goes by 
Getting better and worse 
Getting better and worse 

And there's a screw that I tighten 
As I dream of the kiss 
And it twists and it cuts me 
And you know what it is? 
It's a fragment of love 
From a splintering heart
And it tears her apart
But not as much as this 

So you save up your tears 
For the moments alone 
'Till the splinters you gather 
Leave you glass-hard and numb 
And the same sun is shining 
On the old and the young
On the saints and the sinners 
On the weak and the strong 

And there's a burning and freezing 
And a cross for a kiss 
So she learns to stop dreaming 
And you know how it is 
With these fragments of love 
And this splintering heart 
With the fragments 
And this splintering heart
