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 »

It all began with the bright light 
The bright light and the noise
The chaos of the senses and the scream of desire

Touching and being touched 
A million loose ends to tie up
Ticking of the clock and the cradle rock

The colours stand still
And then they move around 
Comin' in and out of focus upside down

Empty winter trees
How space feels Love of the soft ... flowers and the sky

One fine day 
The chaos subsides
Bleeds into awareness
And a lifetime of surprise

The beauty of your mother's eyes
The pain when you fall 
You drink it in and marvel at it all 
But you never really figure it out

You get used to it

The babble of the family 
And the dumb TV 
Roar of the traffic and the thunder of jets

Chemicals in the water
Drugs in the food 
The heat of the kitchen and the beat of the system

The attitude of authority 
The laws and the rules 
Hit me square in the face, first morning at school

The heroes and the zeroes 
The first love of my life 
When to kiss and to kick and to keep your head down when they're choosing the sides
I was never any good at it 
I was terrified most of the time
I never got over it 
I got used to it

Alone in the city at seventeen 
With the hollow, the lonely 
The drowning and the drowned 
I was made to feel worthless 
The wretched and the mean 
Beat me up like a weapon 
I can't run away from or find a way round 
Holdin' on, holdin' on

The greed and the missiles
Exploding somewhere every day 
Hideous dark secrets under the sea and in holes in the ground

The cold war's gone 
Those bastards'll find us another one
They're here to protect you, don't you know? 
So get used to it Get used to it!

The clash of religions 
The loaded prayers 
Information 
The face of starvation and the state of the nation

The sense that it's useless 
And the fear to try 
Not believing the leaders, the media that feeds us 
Living with the big lie

You get used to it
