In the house where nobody laughs
And nobody sleeps
In the house where love lies dying
And the shadows creep
A little girl hides, shaking,
With her hands on her ears
Pushing back the tears, 'til the pain disappears
Mama says some ugly words
Daddy pounds the wall
They can fight about their little girl later
Right now they don't care at all
No matter what they say...
No matter what they say...
EVERYDAY PEOPLE
EVERYDAY SHAME
EVERYDAY PROMISE
SHOT DOWN IN FLAMES
EVERYDAY SUNRISE
ANOTHER EVERYDAY STORY
RISE FROM THE ASHES --
A BLAZE OF EVERYDAY GLORY
In the city where nobody smiles
And nobody dreams
In the city where desperation
Drives the bored to extremes
Just one spark of decency
Against a starless night
One glow of hope and dignity
A child can follow the light
No matter what they say
No matter what they say...
If the future's looking dark
We're the ones who have to shine
If there's no one in control
We're the ones who draw the line
Though we live in trying times --
We're the ones who have to try
Though we know that time has wings --
We're the ones who have to fly

VDGG - Pilgrims
I've dreamed but now, awake,
I can see we are pilgrims and so
must walk this road,
unknown in our purpose,
alone, but not worthless,
and home ever calling us on.
We've been waiting here for so long,
all of our hands joined in hope,
holding the weight on the rope
all of us pilgrims.
Just beautiful, as all his lyrics are.

Sorry, but first of all it is "peace" and not "piece",

 But knowing Fish, I supect it might still be "piece".
Just a pointer for others, bear in mind this thread is talking about one liners!

That's exactly what I was getting at - yes, it was inspired by Peter Hammill, but also, at it's roots, by Shakespeare;
The round "Hold thy peace, thou knave, hold thy peace" from "Twelfth Night" carries exactly that double entendre.
Fish uses multiple entendres in this context - "So I'll hold my
peace forever when you wear your bridal gown", which are more appraent
when you look at the full verse but we've had this discussion
before - and it's one of my favourite Fish/Marillion lines.

I'm pretty sure Hammill had this Shakesperean quote and double entendre in mind too.

Sorry, but first of all it is "peace" and not "piece", and second it's
a take-off of Peter Hammill from his song "Lost and Found" from the
album "Over":
"and I'll hold my peace forever
but I'll hold my passion more...
I'll be holding the door"
Fish is known to be a great fan of Hammill. The covers of "Fool's Mate"
and "Over" are lying on the floor on the cover of "Fugazi".

You dangling swinging
Hanging, spinning, aftermath
Your soft white flesh turns past me slaked with blood
Your evil eyes more damning than a demon's curse
Your lovely body soon caked with mud
As I carry you to your grave my arms your hearse
You stand before me defenceless
Your stare unchanging silent, cold, intense sears my brain
Hey, hey
Drip drip from your sagging lip
Liquid red down your body spread
Your soft breast glistens your deep navel fountains
Your shadow over chair
Your shadow over chair
Your shadow over chair like a 'plane over mountains
Hey drip drip
Hey drip drip
Hey drip dripa
La-lalalalaa la-la-la-la-la-la-laa la-la-la-la-laa
La-lalalalaa la-la-la-la-la-la-laa la-la-la-la-laa
In a clearing where the sunrays dance amongst the forest's dense secrets
You will softly rest your pale beauty enshrined by the sweet glade
Your body at peace even the earth will fill the crack where entered my blade
Where entered my blade
La-la-la-la-la-la-laa la-la-la-la-laa...
Hey hey hey hey...
Yea, shall I cut you down
Yes 'twould be a last physical communion
I'll be gentle I'll be gentle I'll be gentle I'll be gentle
I'll be gentle I'll be gentle I'll be gentle I'll be gentle
And not hurt you and not hurt you
And not hurt you na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na...
All right now
Drip drip from your sagging lip
Liquid red down your body spread
Your soft breast glistens your deep navel fountains
Your shadow over chair
Your shadow over chair
Your shadow over chair like a 'plane over mountains yea
Hey drip drip
Hey drip drip
Hey drip dripa
La-lalalalaa la-la-la-la-la-la-laa la-la-la-la-laaaaaaa

Supper's Ready. I must say, though, I adore 'Chamber of 32 Doors'. And
yes, Wish You Were Here ranks pretty darn highly.

Alot of VdGG is ,in my opinion, f**king brilliant, particularily tracks like Lemmings and The Emperor In His War Room, among tons of others, of course

For me, I think is "Comme un Fou" from French band Harmonium.
But if I have to name an english band : "Wish you were here" from Pink Floyd

 I was listening to Close to the Edge yesterday. I think And You and I may be one of Yes' stonger songs, lyrically, and thats saying a lot.

Strangers passing in the street by chance two separate glances meet and I am you and what I see is me. And do I take you by the hand and lead you through the land and help me understand the best I can
