• script for a jesters tear'de bulunan marillion parçası...
  
  lyrics: dick
  music: dick/jelliman/kelly/pointer/rothery/trewavas
  
  the rain auditions at my window, its symphony echoes in my womb
  my gaze scans the walls of this apartment
  to rectify the confines of my tomb
  i'm the cyclops in the tenement, i'm the soul without the cause
  crying 'midst my rubber plants, ignoring beckoning doors
  clippings from ancient newspapers lie scattered cross the floor
  stained by the wine from a shattered glass
  meaningless words, yellowed by time, faded photos exposing pain
  celluloid leeches bleeding my mind
  you've finished playing hangman, you've cast the fateful dice
  advice, advice, advice me
  this shroud will not suffice
  
  and thus begins the web
  
  attempting to discard these clinging memories
  i only serve to wallow in our past
  i fabricate the weave with my excuses
  its strands i hope and pray shall last
  oh please do last
  
  the flytrap needs the insects, ivy caresses the wall
  needles make love to the junkies, the sirens seduce with their call
  confidence has deserted me, with you it has forsaken me
  confused and rejected, despised and alone
  i kiss isolation on its fevered brow
  security clutching me, obscurity threatening me
  your reasons were so obvious
  as my friend have qualified, i only laughed away your tears
  but even jesters cry
  
  i realise i hold the key to freedom
  i cannot let my life be ruled by threads
  the time has come to make decisions
  the changes have to be made
  i realise i hold the key to freedom
  i cannot let my life be ruled by threads
  the time has come to make decisions
  the changes have to be made
  
  now i leave you, the past does have it's say
  you're all but forgotten a mote in my heart
  decisions have been made, decisions have been made
  i've conquered my fears, the flaming shroud
  
  thus ends the web
• dünyanın en iyi klavye sololarından birisini ve yine dünyanın en iyi gitar sololarından birisini barındırmasına rağmen, maalesef popüler müzik tüketen kültürün bihaber olduğu, "progressive müzik dinliyorum" deyip de bilmeyenlere tekme tokat daldığım bir başka marillion şaheseri.
  
  özellikle recital of the script versiyonu dinlenmeli ve hatta izlenmelidir. fish'in gazıyla seyircinin alkışlı ritm tuttuğu kısım mükemmeldir. kesinlikle gelmiş geçmiş en iyi canlı performanslardan birisi.
• millenium adlı polonyalı progressive rock grubunun 2019 yılına ait konsept albümü.
  
  müthiş.
