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 »

"The songs and the music that I portray comes from the heart, and comes from the mind. That makes it... that makes me feel that I am delivering the right information" 

Can you make it your own 
Can you take it by the throat 
Make your own luck, learn the skills 
Get in early for the kill 

It carries on

Pick up the weapon 
Marry it, give it your name 
Define yourself by it 
Take it down 'the disco 

Trigger happy, pulling power 
Lady killer, take 'em out 
See the weirdos on the hill
Come to get you if you stand still 

It carries on

Somewhere in history you were wronged
Teach your children to bang the drum 
Tell all your family, tell all your friends 
Teach your brothers to avenge 

It carries on 

Or you could love
You could love

Lie down in the flowers 
In the blue of the air
Open your eyes
Why use up your life for anything else?
No need to fight for what everyone has 
What do you need?
It's already there 
It's already there 

You could love 

So he carried the stars in his pocket 
Drank the sunrise till he was drunk 
He embraced the angels 
They swam like little minnows in his blood 
Ghosts in his eyes 
Out walking beside him 
Laughing like children in his mind
They chanted his mantra together 

You could love

They were happy
