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 »

Here today 
Gone this afternoon 
Another tune we almost remember 
What's the story 
Sex and drugs again 
Business as usual 
The clock's already ticking 
La la la la 

When he was young 
Staring at the TV
He watched the fun happenin' to other people 
Now they scream 
As they run after him
Like a dream 
Like Elvis and the Beatles 

A three minute song is all he wrote 
He only did it for a joke 
They played him on the radio
From Tokyo to Timbuktu 
A three minute boy, ain't that somethin'
They named their children after him
The good times rolled beneath his feet 
He skipped along the one-way street 

She's a pretty girl 
She don't know how it started 
She made a movie 
He almost remembered 
She measured up 
They moved into a basement
"We're so in love!" 
They giggled to the nation 
La la la la

Three minute millionaire they said
The numbers rattled round his head
They spun him three times round the globe 
She waited patiently at home 
And all the pretty girls wanted him
In places that he'd never been 
Too much love will do you in 
Forgive Forgive Forgive Forgive 
Yeah Yeah Ooo

Three minute kid is here again
Surrounded by three minute friends 
He found someone to understand 
To shock the world and hold his hand
No religion, no restraint
No direction, no complaints 
No future and no way out 
No time now to think about it 
All the money's gone 
He don't know what he spent it on 

Girlfriends gone off with the Jag 
Gone back to her mum and dad
He's curled up on the studio floor
He just can't do it anymore 
The flashgun went off without warning
He'll read about it tomorrow morning

She's goin' out with someone new
In this week at number two 
Three minute boy ain't that somethin'
