1. _ No One Can
(music: marillion lyrics: steve hogarth)
You landed in my life
Like a new and brighter light
That made all my past seem in the shadow
I always used to believe
That beauty was skin deep
But i need a new world to describe you
And the time that it took to take down the wall
Was the time that it took for me to fall
Hopelessly weak
No one can take you away from me now
Don't worry if they take me away
No one can take you away from me now
Don't matter how long we have to wait
The days before you came
Were really all the same
A greyness i used to call freedom
Endless nights out with the boys
The boasting and the noise
To think that i ever believed them
No one can take you away from me now
Don't worry if they take me away
No one can take me away from me now
Don't matter how long we have to wait
I don't care what they think
You're all i believe in
I carry you here
And there's something of you
In everything that i love
No one can take you away from me now
Don't worry if they take me away
No one can take me away from me now
Don't matter how long we have to wait
No one can take you away from me now
Don't worry if they take me away

3. _ How Can It Hurt
(music: marillion lyrics: steve hogarth)
Maybe you're just too upset inside to give it to me straight
Maybe you've become too angry and too close to crying to say anything i can understand
Or maybe you're just coming in over my head
Maybe you're just too upset inside too upset inside
How can it hurt if i don't understand
How can it hurt if i don't understand
How can it hurt if i don't understand
How can it hurt if i don't understand
You're never gonna square with me i know so what is there to say?
There's a million words that we could share tonight
Why do you walk away?
And i could write you off and it's over with like a damaged car i can't afford to fix
But everything inside me wants to heal your pain
You won't explain
You won't explain
How can it hurt if i don't understand
How can it hurt if i don't understand
How can it hurt if i don't understand
How can it hurt if i don't understand
How can it hurt, how can it hurt
Well i don't understand
Well i don't understand
Tell me how can it hurt
Well i don't understand
Tell me how can it hurt
Well i don't understand

5. _ This Town
(music: marillion lyrics: steve hogarth)
The cars leave their trails of hot & cold light inside my head
Like burned-in long exposure pictures
The wheels spin slowly backwards
Strobing in the amber light
And the rain comes down and washes my brain
But it don't get clean
This town has turned me into what i have become
This town dresses me up like a stranger
This town performs in the window like the ultimate gift
This town takes us down
I feel like i'm losing you to this town
We were saving our money for half of our lives
We were saving our dreams
And we came to this place to make the chances real in the big city
But i've been counting the days i've been watching you change
And i can feel it dying
The noise outside takes you in its arms like a lamb to a lion
And down there somewhere among the noise
The magazine dolls and the big money boys
Move silently on their easy heels
They move silently on their greasy wheels
This town has turned me into what i have become
This town dresses you up like a stranger
This town hangs around in the doorway and tells me i'm late
This town takes us down, takes us down
I feel like i'm losing you to this town
The morning breaks and i watch you awake and this town takes you down away from me again

6. _ The Rakes Progress
(music: marillion lyrics: steve hogarth)
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 breakin' someone up inside
Is your only source of pride

7. _ Sympathy
(mark ashton, graham stansfield, david kaffinetti, stephen gould)
Now when you climb into your bed tonight
And when you lock and bolt the door
Just think about those out in the cold and dark
'cause there's not enough love to go 'round
No there's not enough love to go 'round
And sympathy is what we need my friends
And sympathy is what we need
And sympathy is what we need my friends
'cause there's not enough love to go 'round
No there's not enough love to go 'round
Now half the world hates the other half
And half the world has all the food
And half the world lies down and quietly starves
'cause there's not enough love to go 'round
No there's not enough love to go 'round
No there's not enough love to go 'round
No there's not enough love to go 'round
And sympathy is what we need my friends
And sympathy is what we need
And sympathy is what we need my friends
'cause there's not enough love to go 'round
No there's not enough love
No there's not enough love to go 'round

8. _ Waiting To Happen
(music: marillion lyrics: steve hogarth)
I lie awake at night, listening to you sleeping
I hear the darkness breathe
And the rain against the window
After all this time
Cynical and jaded
All the stones are diamonds
All the blues are faded
Everything i've been through
All i've seen and heard
Spend to much of my life
In the spiritual third world
But you came and brought the rain here
Something waiting to happen
Something learning to fly
We can talk without talking
From inside to inside
I have waited to feel this
For the whole of my life
We took ourselves apart
We talked about our faces
You said you didn't like yours
I said i disagree
I keep the pieces separate
I clutch them in my coat
A jigsaw of an angel
I can do when i feel low
From emptiness and dryness
The famine of our days
Watch the heavens open
Wash it all away
You came and brought the rain here
Something waiting to happen
Something learning to fly
On the edge of exploding
Something wild and alive
Something waiting to happen
Anytime that you like
I have waited to feel this
For the whole of my life

9. _ Dry Land
(music: hogarth / woore lyrics: steve hogarth)
In all the time that i've known you
You've been so edgy and nervous
I never wanted to own you
I was aware of the danger
Of making a bid for your favours
You're such a natural stranger
I made excuses and ran
You're an island
But i can't leave you all out at sea
You're so violent with your silence
You're an island
I can't sleep
Won't you speak to me
I'm on dry land
Won't you help me please
In all the time that i've known you
There has been something between us
I don't think it's my imagination
I felt like i couldn't touch you
But i had the feeling you'd love to
Tell me the truth if you could do
I made excuses and ran
You're an island
But i can't leave you all out at sea
You're so violent with your silence
You're an island i can't sleep
Won't you speak to me
I'm on dry land
Won't you help me please
You're an island
But i can't leave you all out at sea
You're so violent with your silence
You're an island i can't sleep
Won't you speak to me
I'm on dry land
Won't you help me please

10. _ 100 Nights
(music: marillion lyrics: steve hogarth)
A hundred nights of fun and games
A thousand empty glasses
I feel it change and stay the same
As each day passes
They invite me to their gatherings
In the finer parts of town
They seem attracted to my indifference
The irony just knocks me out
And i love them as if i love them
And they reciprocate with help
But i look up at these mirrors sometimes
Oh, and i can't see myself
They say that some are born to burn
And some are born to give
They say that people live and learn
Some people only live and live
You don't know that i come here
If you did you would know why
So we close our eyes
You didn't notice me
As i passed you on the stairs
How could you ever guess lookin' at my face
How closely i share your taste
How well i know your place
Even the clothes you wear
I've seen them when you're not there
You say that you can win win win
If you know how to play the game
But while you're out there playing you see
There's something you should know
She spends your money
She spends your money
She spends your money
She spends your money on me
This town has turned me into what i have become
This town dresses you up like a stranger
This town hangs around in the doorway and tells me i'm late
This town takes us down, takes us down
I feel like i'm losing you to this town

11. _ Cover My Eyes (pain And Heaven)
(music: marillion lyrics: steve hogarth)
Cover my eyes
The light falls on her face
Dangerous lines
Dangerous colours & shapes
Ferocious designs
Connected and ready to play
Buttoned up tight
Crimson and halloween white
She's like the girl in the movie when the spitfire falls
Like the girl in the picture that he couldn't afford
She's like the girl with the smile in the hospital ward
Like the girl in the novel in the wind on the moors
Pain and heaven
Pain and heaven
The meaning of life
A hair falls out of place
Cover my eyes
Dangerous colours and shapes
And when she moves
Cover my eyes
She's like the girl on the t.v. with the red guitar
Like the girl with the dealer at the end of the bar
She's like the girl with the smile in the dream in the dark
Like the girl overtaking in the open car
Pain and heaven
Pain and heaven
Pain and heaven
Pain and heaven
Cover my eyes
The light falls on her face
Dangerous lines
Dangerous colours & shapes
Ferocious designs

12. _ The Party
(music: marillion lyrics: steve hogarth)
She bought a bottle of cider
From the shop on the corner
They didn't stop her
Thought she was older
She took a bus ride
To a name and a number
A house full of music
And a hat full of wonder
And some of the people that
She thought that she knew
Were never like this
When she saw them at school
She's never been anywhere like this before
Everybody's so out of control
She was in a backroom
Full of strange aromas
And noises and candles
That was where he found her
He took her to a garden
Full of rain and silence
And she could smell the soil and the trees
And see the succulent light
From the little fires in his eyes
Pulling shapes out of the night
She was enchanted....
Then it's twelve o'clock
And the last bus is gone
They're gonna go crazy when
They hear what she's done
And higher is lower
And less is like more
She's never felt anything like this before
Before
And then it was yesterday
And he said 'oh, by the way,'
'welcome to your first party'

14. _ A Collection
(music: marillion lyrics: steve hogarth)
I've got a photograph
I took a picture of you
I took your photograph in front of my favourite view
You play the part so well
You look so sure and free
No one could ever tell that you belong to me
And 'cause you lie so well
I've got to pin you down
Under lock and key
So you will always be in my in my collection
If you can't speak you can't lie
If you can't run and you can't hide
I know a place you can't die
So no one lives inside
My collection
I want to capture you
I want to immortalize
The way you play with your hair
The way you flash your eyes
I taste the air you breathe
I taste the food you eat
I keep your nails and hair
And some of the clothes you wear
If you can't speak you can't lie
If you can't run you can't hide
And if you're dead you can't die
So no one lives inside
No one lives inside
My collection
I've got some photographs
I'd like to show them to you
'though you don't know the girls
You'll recognize the view...

15. _ I Will Walk On Water
(steve hogarth, steve rothery, mark kelly, pete trewavas, ian mosley)
Something is coming out of the rain
Magic, it's happening again
Like the last time
I don't know how it happens
But i know what to do
Comin' up from the ground
I think it's you
I will walk on the water
You sent me the red sun and the purple sky
Cirrus clouds and grins
Atoms of roses
The power to do anything
In the chaos of colours
And the fluttering of wings
You carry me up
And i'm free again
Don't let anyone tell you
This is impossible
What we have here is bigger than fear
I will walk on water
Don't let anyone tell you
This is impossible
Hold on to me
Believe what you see
I will walk on water

16. _ Splintering Heart
(music: marillion lyrics: steve hogarth)
There's a hot hard hurt
Burnin' under her skin
And it pricks her like thorns
And it's needles and pins
And it twists in her body
And i know what it is
And i'm paying in pain
But it's the cost of the high
'till the weight of the secret
And the weight of the lie
Makes my heart want to burst
Feel the ache as time goes by
Getting better and worse
Getting better and worse
And there's a screw that i tighten
As i dream of the kiss
And it twists and it cuts me
And you know what it is?
It's a fragment of love
From a splintering heart
And it tears her apart, yeah
But not as much as this
So you save up your tears
For the moments alone
'till the splinters you gather
Leave you glass-hard and numb
And the same sun is shining
On the old and the young
On the saints and the sinners
On the weak and the strong
And there's a burning and freezing
And a cross for a kiss
So she learns to stop dreaming
And you know how it is
With these fragments of love
And this splintering heart
With the fragments
And this splintering heart

17. _ Holidays In Eden
(music: marillion lyrics: john helmer)
Did you ever feel that just by jumping on a plane
All your cares would drop away and you'd be born again
Returning to a nature child happy wild and free
But forgetfulness is a river and you know where the river leads
Holidays in eden
Life before the fall
See no, hear no, speak no evil
Feel no guilt, feel no guilt at all
Naked through the jungle, mud between your toes
Following the river, where the river flows
The creatures of the forest bid you "welcome to the dark"
Nothing here can hurt you, darkness has no heart
Holidays in eden
Paradise regained
See no, hear no, speak no evil
Throw your past away
You wake up one morning, wondering who you are
There's a map of new country up on the wall
All your new lovers merge into one
You've done everything under the sun
There's a date on the air ticket
And the money's gone
Back in your own country
Nothing seems the same
No one comes around at night
Or uses your new name
Hearing silent whispers
Old friends are acting strange
No one wants to know you now
People say you've changed
Holidays in eden
Life before the fall
See no, hear no, speak no evil
Feel no guilt at all
Holidays in eden
Paradise and light
Heaven loses you to this world
Leaves you alone
Kiss your home goodbye
(she says she's lonely)
