| Has to be swings. I always feel a bit queasy on roundabouts. Swings are great coz you can go really high then jump off at the top of the swing, go flying across the playground and hurt yourself badly. |

Yep. There's a song on Vigil (which is a really good album) called Voyeur (I Like to Watch) and one of the 6 live albums that came out after Internal Exile was called Toiling in the Reeperbahn. The cover of this album sticks out in my mind because it is a head shot of Fish and a topless woman. -------------

But remember, he could mean two different things (mere showing of the words may not show Fish's true intentions). So I'll hold my peace forever when you wear your bridal gown or So I'll hold my piece forever when you wear your bridal gown Considering that Fish did (back then) have a dirty mind simply if you listen to many of his pre-song introductions on live albums from both Marillion and his solo days there are plenty, especially one before they play Jigsaw in 1986 where he talks about American women, McDonald's, and the act of fellatio. -------------
