(Music: Marillion Lyrics: Steve Hogarth & John Helmer)
See those people there?
They look after me
This is a photograph of who I might be
Man in a uniform ... bride on his arm
Mum always was a fool for money and charm
He's been talkin' in his sleep again
Sayin' he's sorry, callin' my name
Sayin' how he's ashamed ...
Alone again in the lap of luxury
Since it happened I had nothin' to say
It used to bother them but now it's OK
Mother cleans his dreadful house every day
Scrubbing all the stains that won't go away
They sent me away to the school in the park
They said it would be good for me
I still hear the other kids cry in the dark
Alone again in the lap of luxury
Is there no escape
I don't remember the last time I cried
I don't remember much except lies
See the little girl spirallin' down
This is a photograph of who she is now
"One day this will all be yours" he said
Tidy your room and straight to bed
Tidy up those thoughts in your head
Alone again in the lap of luxury
I could be anywhere right now
If I only had the nerve to leave this house
Maybe somewhere by the sea ...
Take me somewhere, anywhere please!
We could make a pillow of sand and sleep
We could roll
We could make
We could see
We could scream
Far
Father
Farthest
Oh daddy ...
You do not do anymore ...
For God's sake don't pretend to be concerned ...
Turn into nightmares in the end
Throw a party for all my friends
Alone again in the lap of luxury
(i) now wash your hands
You give up hope
You settle down
With your favourite soap ...
Now wash your hands
Marillion is a British progressive rock band formed in Aylesbury in 1977. The original lineup included Steve Hogarth (vocals), Mark Kelly (keyboards), Pete Trewavas (bass) and Ian Mosley (drums). Their sound, characterized by intricate melodies, poetic lyrics and an often melancholic atmosphere, has gained a loyal following over the years. After the success of their debut album, *Script for a Jester's Tear* (1983), the band went through several phases of evolution, with changes in lineup and musical experimentation. Their most popular period was in the 1980s, with albums like *Fugazi* (1984) and *Misplaced Childhood* (1985). In the 1990s, Marillion continued to record and perform, maintaining a strong bond with their fans. Steve Hogarth became the main frontman in 1989, leading the band into a new musical era. Some of their most representative songs are *Kayleigh*, *Incommunicado* and *The Leavers*. Marillion remains today one of the most influential and beloved progressive bands worldwide.

Do we want to define "I know you know me" a masterpiece? Yes, without a shadow of a doubt for at least two reasons. The first and most evident are the artists who interpret it: Caroline Spence and Matt Berninger, second for the deep and poetic text.
My favorite group when I was just a teenager were the Fugees, thanks to them a certain curiosity about english language was born in me. I wanted to know and understand the lyrics of their songs, it wasn't enough for me to be carried away exclusively by their beautiful music.
Sweden and the United States are two countries far from each other, thousands of kilometers separate them, the language, culinary and sporting traditions, I don't feel so categorical about the landscapes, not knowing all of America there may be states that have the same reliefs of the country of northern Europe, but on one thing I am sure
