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...
