We are the Leavers
And the road rolls beneath us
We sleep as we're driven
We arrive before dawn
We wait in grey truck-stops
For the night to release us
Then slip in from ring-roads
And our work starts again
Unloading our cargo
The thrills of the night
Our boxes of noises
Our boxes of light
We are parties that travel
Movies that move
Jokes that span fields
Conversations that chatter
From one town to another
Laughter that passes
Thoughts on the wind
We will make a show
And then we'll go.
We are the Leavers
Bottles that empty
From Dover to Calais
From Paris to Hamburg
Strasbourg to Stockholm
On buses that rumble from Newport to New York!
We nod-off in London or Lisbon or Lima
We wake up in Munich
Wake up in music
We are the Leavers
We are the Leavers
Be careful. We'll leave you.
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.
