Marillion - Bitter Suite Lyrics
(fish / marillion)A) brief encounterA spider wanders aimlessly within the warmth of a shadowNot the regal creature of border cavesBut the poor, misguided, directionless familiar of some obscure scottish poetThe mist crawls from the canalLike some primordial phantom of romanceTo curl, under a cascade of neon pollenWhile I sit tied to the phone like an expectant fatherYour carnation will rot in a vaseB) lost weekendA train sleeps in a sidingThe driver guzzles another can of lager, lagerTo wash away the memories of a friday night down at the clubShe was a wallflower at sixteen, shell be a wallflower at thirty fourHer mother called her beautifulHer daddy said, a whoreC) blue angelThe sky was Bible black in lyon, when I met the magdaleneShe was paralyzed in a streetlightShe refused to give her nameAnd a ring of violet bruisesThey were pinned upon her armTwo hundred francs for sanctuary and she led me by the handTo a room of dancing shadows where all the heartache disappearsAnd from glowing tongues of candles I heard her whisper in my earjentend ton coeur, jentend ton coeurI can hear your heart, I can hear your heart, I can hear your heartHear your heartI hear your heartD) misplaced rendezvousIts getting late, for scribbling and scratching on the paperSomethings gonna give under this pressure, and the cracks are already beginning to showIts too lateThe weekend career girl never boarded the planeThey said this could never happen againOh, so wrong, so wrongThis time it seems to be another misplaced rendezvousThis time, its looking like another misplaced rendezvousWith youThe parallel of you, youE) windswept thumbOn the outskirts of nowhereOn the ringroad to somewhereOn the verge of indecisionIll always take the roundabout wayWaiting on the rainFor I was born with a habit, from a signThe habit of a windswept thumb, and the sign of the rainRain on me, rainIts started raining
