The Rakes Progress

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 »

What do you do when your roots have dissolved and broken down 
And the soil that you grew in when you were small 
Has become nothing more than dirt in some dirty town 

When you list all the qualities that you despise 
And you realize 
You're describing yourself 

And breaking someone up inside 
Is your only source of pride
