The last straw


(fish, steve rothery, mark kelly, pete trewavas, ian mosley)

Hotel hobbies padding dawns hollow corridors
A typewriter cackles out a stream of memories

Drying out a conscience, evicting a nightmare
Opening the doors for the dreams to come home

We live out lives in private shells
Ignore our senses and fool ourselves
To thinking that out there there's someone else cares
Someone to answer all our prayers, all our prayers...

Are we too far gone, are we so irresponsible
Have we lost our balls, or do we just not care
We're terminal cases that keep talking medicine
Pretending the end isn't quite that near
We make futile gestures, act to the cameras
With our made up faces and pr smiles
And when the angel comes down, down to deliver us
We'll find out that after all, we're only men of straw

But everything is still the same
Passing the time passing the blame
We carry on in the same old way
We'll find out we left it too late one day to say what we meant to say

Just when you thought it was safe to go back to the water
Those problems seem to arise the ones you never really thought of
The feeling you get is similar to something like drowning
Out of your mind, you're out of your depth, you should have taken soundings
Clutching at straws, we're clutching at straws, we're clutching at straws

And if you ever come across us don't give us your sympathy
You can buy us a drink and just shake our hands
And you'll recognise by the reflection in our eyes that deep down inside we're all one and the same

We're clutching at straws
We're still drowning
Clutching at straws
We're still drowning, yeah clutching at straws
I'm still drowning
We're clutching at straws
I'm still drowning

Thank you because you correct this lyrics

Biografia

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.
