Living With The Big Lie
Marillion
(music: marillion lyrics: steve hogarth & john helmer) It all began with the bright light The bright light and the noise The chaos of the senses and the scream of desire Touching and being touched A million loose ends to tie up Ticking of the clock and the cradle rock The colours stand still And then they move around Comin' in and out of focus upside down Empty winter trees How space feels love of the soft ... flowers and the sky One fine day The chaos subsides Bleeds into awareness And a lifetime of surprise The beauty of your mother's eyes The pain when you fall You drink it in and marvel at it all But you never really figure it out You get used to it The babble of the family And the dumb tv Roar of the traffic and the thunder of jets Chemicals in the water Drugs in the food The heat of the kitchen and the beat of the system The attitude of authority The laws and the rules Hit me square in the face, first morning at school The heroes and the zeroes The first love of my life When to kiss and to kick and to keep your head down when they're choosing the sides I was never any good at it I was terrified most of the time I never got over it I got used to it Alone in the city at seventeen With the hollow, the lonely The drowning and the drowned I was made to feel worthless The wretched and the mean Beat me up like a weapon I can't run away from or find a way round Holdin' on, holdin' on The greed and the missiles Exploding somewhere every day Hideous dark secrets under the sea and in holes in the ground The cold war's gone Those bastards'll find us another one They're here to protect you, don't you know? So get used to it get used to it! The clash of religions The loaded prayers Information The face of starvation and the state of the nation The sense that it's useless And the fear to try Not believing the leaders, the media that feeds us Living with the big lie You get used to it80s alternative art rock Awesome beautifull Byron Cerebral Echoes emotional essentials Favorite Artists Favourite song Favourites Great tunes i love it inventive irish Kloron - Top 500 van 2006 literate marillion melodic rock music neo progressive Neo Progressive Rock neoprog neverlanders powerful lyrics Progressive rock progresywne cuda rock seen live something in the air soundscapes of the imaginative soundscapes of the restless co Steve H voice lust
