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'
