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 »

Heading for the great escape
Heading for the rave
Heading for the permanent holiday 
Heading for the winter trip 
Heading for the slide 
Heading for the dignified walk away 

Heading for the open road
Goodbye to all that 
Heading for the automatic overload 

Standing in the open boat 
Standing in the swing 
Waiting for the ringing and the bright light 

Waiting to be recognised 
Quiet applause will do
They shower you with flowers when they bury you 

You're holding on, you're holding on ... 
I. The Last of You
Just when I thought I'd seen the last of you 
You come here scratchin' at my door 
Your pain and anger's in the howling dark 
Of every corridor I walk 

So tell me more about the love that you rejected 
Tell me more about the trust you disrespected 
I still don't know, why did you hurt the very one 
Why did you hurt the very one 
That you should have protected? 

Heading for the great escape 
Heading for the rave
Heading for the permanent holiday

Heading for the high cloud-nine 
Heaven number seven 
Heading for the long goodbye 

Uncurl the fingers that hold 
Summon the strength to let go 
Out of the tired world 
Out of the upset
Into the sunset
