I thought the first record Seasons End was pretty good. C'mon Jaye don't tell me you don't thing Uninvited Guest is a good song!

I've never heard that song, I don't think... I've actually only heard parts of maybe one or two songs from H's Marillion.. ohmy.gif

Maybe I should listen to more...

You should certainly try to hear the album Seasons End. Just think of it as a different band. Here's the song Uninvited Guest and the rather entertaining video to go with it;

 

 

If you like that I'm sure you'll enjoy the album Seasons End, if not... bolt.gif laugh.gif

joker.gif ph34r.gif

I said the joker is a wanted man,

He makes his way all across the land,

See him sifting through the sand,

 

So I'll tell you all the story,

About the joker and the thief of the night,

 

Always laughing in the midst of power,

Always living in the final hour,

There is always sweet in the sour,

 

We are not goin' home,

 

Can you see the joker flying over,

As she's standing in the field of clover,

Watching out everyday?

I wonder what would happen if he took her away?

 

What you see well you might not know,

You get the feelin' comin' after the glow,

The vagabond is moving slow,

 

So I'll tell you all the story,

'bout the joker and the thief of the night,

 

All the people that he see in the night,

Hold their dreams up to the light,

The old beast is searching for sight,

 

We are not goin' home,

 

Can you see the joker flying over,

As she's standing in the field of clover,

Watching out everyday?

I wonder what would happen if he took her away?

 

Tell you the story 'bout the the joker and the thief,

I said, I'll tell you the story 'bout the the joker and the thief,

I said, I'll tell you the story 'bout the the joker and the thief,

Of the night

When they turn the pages of history

When these days have passed long ago

Will they read of us with sadness

For the seeds that we let grow

We turned our gaze

From the castles in the distance

Eyes cast down

On the path of least resistance

 

Cities full of hatred

Fear and lies

Withered hearts

And cruel, tormented eyes

Scheming demons

Dressed in kingly guise

Beating down the multitude

And scoffing at the wise

 

The hypocrites are slandering

The sacred halls of Truth

Ancient nobles showering

Their bitterness on youth

Can't we find

The minds that made us strong

Can't we learn

To feel what's right and wrong

 

Cities full of hatred

Fear and lies

Withered hearts

And cruel, tormented eyes

Scheming demons

Dressed in kingly guise

Beating down the multitude

And scoffing at the wise

Can't we raise our eyes

And make a start

Can't we find the minds

To lead us closer to the Heart

I've got a feeling, a feeling deep inside

Oh yeah, Oh yeah.

I've got a feeling, a feeling I can't hide

Oh no. Oh no, Oh no,

Yeah I've got a feeling.

 

Oh please believe me, I'd hate to miss the train

Oh yeah, Oh yeah.

And if you leave me I won't be late again

Oh no, Oh no, Oh no.

Yeah I've got a feeling yeah.

 

All these years I've been wandering around,

Wondering how come nobody told me

All that I was looking for was somebody

Who looked like you.

 

Ev'rybody had a hard year

Ev'rybody had a good time

Ev'rybody had a wet dream,

Ev'rybody saw the sunshine

Oh yeah, Oh yeah.

Ev'rybody had a good year,

Ev'rybody let their hair down,

Ev'rybody pulled their socks up,

Ev'rybody put their foot down.

Oh yeah, Oh yeah.

 

[Oh my soul... so odd.]

There's something happening here

What it is ain't exactly clear

There's a man with a gun over there

Telling me I got to beware

 

I think it's time we stop, children, what's that sound

Everybody look what's going down

 

There's battle lines being drawn

Nobody's right if everybody's wrong

Young people speaking their minds

Getting so much resistance from behind

 

I think it's time we stop, hey, what's that sound

Everybody look what's going down

 

What a field-day for the heat

A thousand people in the street

Singing songs and carrying signs

Mostly say, hooray for our side

 

It's time we stop, hey, what's that sound

Everybody look what's going down

 

Paranoia strikes deep

Into your life it will creep

It starts when you're always afraid

You step out of line, the man come and take you away

 

We better stop, hey, what's that sound

Everybody look what's going down

Stop, hey, what's that sound

Everybody look what's going down

Stop, now, what's that sound

Everybody look what's going down

Stop, children, what's that sound

Everybody look what's going down

Sprawling on the fringes of the city

In geometric order

An insulated border

In between the bright lights

And the far unlit unknown

 

Growing up it all seems so one-sided

Opinions all provided

The future pre-decided

Detached and subdivided

In the mass production zone

 

Nowhere is the dreamer

Or the misfit so alone

 

Subdivisions -

In the high school halls

In the shopping malls

Conform or be cast out

Subdivisions -

In the basement bars

In the backs of cars

Be cool or be cast out

Any escape might help to smooth

The unattractive truth

But the suburbs have no charms to soothe

The restless dreams of youth

 

Drawn like moths we drift into the city

The timeless old attraction

Cruising for the action

Lit up like a firefly

Just to feel the living night

 

Some will sell their dreams for small desires

Or lose the race to rats

Get caught in ticking traps

And start to dream of somewhere

To relax their restless flight

 

Somewhere out of a memory

Of lighted streets on quiet nights...

A hot and windy August afternoon

Has the trees in constant motion

With a flash of silver leaves

As they're rocking in the breeze

 

The boy lies in the grass with one blade

Stuck between his teeth

A vague sensation quickens

In his young and restless heart

And a bright and nameless vision

Has him longing to depart

 

You move me -

You move me -

With your buildings and your eyes

Autumn woods and winter skies

You move me -

You move me -

Open sea and city lights

Busy streets and dizzy heights

You call me -

You call me -

 

The fawn-eyed girl with sun-browned legs

Dances on the edge of his dream

And her voice rings in his ears

Like the music of the spheres

 

The boy lies in the grass, unmoving

Staring at the sky

His mother starts to call him

As a hawk goes soaring by

The boy pulls down his baseball cap

And covers up his eyes

 

Too many hands on my time

Too many feelings -

Too many things on my mind

When I leave I don't know

What I'm hoping to find

When I leave I don't know

What I'm leaving behind...

Well, I'm lookin' at you

And I'm wond'rin' what you're gonna do

Looks like you got no friends

No one to stick with you till the end

 

Take yourself a friend

Keep 'em till the end

Whether woman or man

It makes you feel so good...

So good

 

Yes, you think you're all right

But now you're lonely ev'ry night

Well, you need a friend

Someone on whom you can always depend

 

 

 

 

Yes, you need some advice

Well, let me put it to you nice

I said you need a friend

Someone who'll stick with you to the end

That is a good song - I watched it twice... (H is a bit creepy in that vid, especially at the beginning.. laugh.gif )

And it's just reminded me of my Marillion vids DVD. The last half of it is the Steve Hogarth stuff...I might watch it. smile.gif

Our first stop is in Bogota

To check Colombian fields

The natives smile and pass along

A sample of their yield

Sweet Jamaican pipe dreams

Golden Acapulco nights

Then Morocco, and the East,

Fly by morning light

 

We're on the train to Bangkok

Aboard the Thailand Express

We'll hit the stops along the way

We only stop for the best

 

Wreathed in smoke in Lebanon

We burn the midnight oil

The fragrance of Afghanistan

Rewards a long day's toil

Pulling into Katmandu

Smoke rings fill the air

Perfumed by a Nepal night

The Express gets you there

A boy alone, so far from home

Endless rooftops from my window

I felt the gloom of empty rooms

On rainy afternoons

 

Sometimes in confusion

I felt so lost and disillusioned

Innocence gave me confidence

To go up against reality

 

All the same, we take our chances

Laughed at by Time

Tricked by Circumstances

Plus ca change

Plus c'est la meme chose

The more that things change

The more they stay the same

 

Now I've gained some understanding

Of the only world that we see

Things that I once dreamed of

Have become reality

 

These walls that still surround me

Still contain the same old me

Just one more who's searching for

A world that ought to be ph34r.gif ph34r.gif 2.gif

My eyes have just been opened

And they're open very wide

Images around me

Don't identify inside

Just one blur I recognize

The one that soothes and feeds

My way of life is easy

And as simple are my needs

 

Yet my eyes are drawn toward

The mountain in the east

Fascinates and captivates

Gives my heart no peace

The mountain holds the sunrise

In the prison of the night

'Til bursting forth from rocky chains

The valley floods with light

 

Living one long sunrise

For to me all things are new

I've never watched the sky grow pale

Or strolled through fields of dew

I do not know of dust to dust

I live from breath to breath

I live to climb that mountain

To the Fountain of Lamneth

 

Yet my eyes are drawn toward

The mountain in the east

Fascinates and captivates

Gives my heart no peace

The mountain holds the sunrise

In the prison of the night

'Til bursting forth from rocky chains

The valley floods with light

Crying back to consciousness

The coldness grips my skin

The sky is pitching violently

Drawn by shrieking winds

Seaspray blurs my vision

Waves roll by so fast

Save my ship of freedom

I'm lashed helpless to the mast

 

Remembering when first I held

The wheel in my own hands

I took the helm so eagerly

And sailed for distant lands

But now the sea's too heavy

And I just...I just don't understand

Why must my crew desert me?

When I need...I need a guiding hand...

 

Call out for direction

And there's no one there to steer

Shout out for salvation

But there's no one there to hear

Cry out supplication

For the maelstrom is near

Scream out desperation

But no one cares to hear

The whiteness of confusion

Is unfolding from my mind

I stare around in wonder

Have I left my life behind?

 

I catch the scent of ambergris

And turn my head, surprised

My gaze is caught and held and I

Am helpless...mesmerized

 

Panacea, liquid grace

Oh let me touch your fragile face

Enchantment falls around me

And I know I cannot leave

 

Here's a meaning for my life

A shelter from the storm

Pacify my troubles with

Her body, soft and warm

 

Naked in our unity

A smile for every tear

Gentle hands that promise me

Comfort through the years

 

Yet I know I must be gone

Before the light of dawn

 

Panacea, passion pure

I can't resist your gentle lure

My heart will lie beside you

And my wandering body grieves

Another endless day

Silhouettes of grey

Another glass of wine

Drink with eyes that shine

To days without that chill at morning

Long Nights, time out of mind

 

Chorus

Draw another goblet

From the cask of '43

Crimson misty memory

Hazy glimpse of me

Give me back my wonder

I've something more to give

I guess it doesn't matter

There's not much more to live

 

Another foggy dawn

The mountain almost gone

Another doubtful fear

The road is not so clear

My soul grows ever weary

And the end is ever near

Look! The mist is rising

And the sun is peaking through

See the steps grow lighter

As I reach their final few

Hear the dancing waters

I must be drawing near

Feel, my heart is pounding

With embattled hope and fear

 

Now, at last I fall before

The Fountain of Lamneth

I thought I would be singing

But I'm tired...out of breath

Many journeys end here

But, the secret's told the same:

Life is just a candle, and a dream

Must give it flame

 

The key, the end, the answer

Stripped of their disguise

Still it's all confusion

And tears spring to my eyes

Though I've reached a signpost

It's really not the end

Like Old Sol behind the mountain

I'll be coming up again.

I looked in the mirror today

My eyes just didn't seem so bright

I've lost a few more hairs

I think I'm going bald

I think I'm going bald

Seems like only yesterday

We would sit and talk of dreams all night

Dreams of youth

And simple truths

Now we're so involved

So involved with life

 

Walk down vanity fair

Memory lane everywhere

Wall Street shuffles there

Dressed in flowing hair

 

Once we loved the flowers

Now we ask the price of the land

Once we would take water

But now it must be wine

Now we've been

And now we've seen

What price peace of mind

Take a piece of my mind

 

My life is slipping away

I'm aging every day

But even when I'm grey

I'll still be grey my way
