Bitter Suite for me, although I would insist on hearing it as part of the album, it sound so much better that way.

Great post RL by the way. Clap

My personal favorite is "Sugar Mice".  The guitar solo in that song sings with the emotion that Fish is feeling - the plaintiff bends to begin, the angry chords at the end.

Almost every Fish era song is among my faavorites, whoever. 

Favorite Fish lyric comes from "Warm Wet Circles": She faithfully traces his name/ With quick bitten fingernails/ Through the tears of condensation/ That'll cry through the night/ As the glancing headlights of the last bus/ kiss adolescence goodbye

Sugar mice is actualy my least favourite Marillion song. Fish himself rates it as one of his/their better songs. but it doesn't has the same appeal to me as for instance That time of the night and the last straw.

It is still better than a kick in the face though.

Wonderful guitar solo.

I have close mate who works in Child Protection and the song never fails to choke him up.

Approve

I don't mean to create waves, but Sugar Mice was the one Fish era Marillion tune that rubbed me wrong. Too sappy.

I will not argue this. I just don't care for the song. I think much of what Fish and company did was great....this was their proverbial stinker to me.

i hesitate between warm wet circles and incubus.

warm wet circles is simple, efficient and unforgettable, like the mother's kiss on your first broken heart!

The one Marillion song that always makes me happy is "Heart Of Lothian." Superbly rhythmic lyrics, brilliant singing an absolute gem.

I was just listening to Fugazi. It remains a magificent monster. Incubus and Fugazi are whet Marillion represents for me.

 

No bad songs in the Fish era. I still don't particulairly care for Sugar Mice, but still it's far better than everythingh I heard from any band
