I remember piano lessons
The hours in freezing rooms
Cruel ears and tiny hands
Destroying timeless tunes
She said there's too much out there
Too much already said
You'd better give up hoping
You're better off in bed
You don't need much to speak of
No class, no wit, no soul
Forget you own agenda
Get ready to be sold
I feel now like Christine Keeler
Sleepwaking in the rain
I didn't mean to lose direction
I didn't want that kind of fame
(Take your hands off my land)
Credit me with some intelligence
(if not just credit me)
I come in value packs of ten
(in five varieties)
And even though I got it all now
My only stupid dream
I see you and me together
And how it should have been
I remember piano lessons
Now everything seems clear
You waiting under streetlights
For dreams to disappear

Porcupine Tree è un gruppo musicale britannico fondato a Londra alla fine degli anni '80 da Steven Wilson. Inizialmente un progetto solista, si trasformò in una band completa negli anni '90. Il loro sound, definito rock progressivo con influenze psichedeliche e ambient, ha attraversato diverse fasi evolutive, passando da atmosfere più sperimentali e noise rock a sonorità più melodiche e pop-rock. Tra i brani più rappresentativi figurano "Shesmovedon", "Halo", "In Absentia" e "The Sky Moves Sideways". Tra gli album di maggior successo ricordiamo "In Absentia" (2002), "Deadwing" (2005) e "Fear of a Blank Planet" (2007). Porcupine Tree ha collaborato con artisti come Richard Barbieri, Colin Edwin e Gavin Harrison. Steven Wilson è anche un noto produttore musicale e artista solista.
