Marillion - Script for a Jester's tear

Premier morceau du concert de Marillion à l'Hammersmith Odeon de Londres, le 18 avril 1983...
Script For A Jester's Tear.

Comme l'album, tout commence doucement... et tout devient beau et dur très rapidement... et ce de plus en plus.

"So here I am once more in the playground of the broken hearts
One more experience, one more entry in a diary, self-penned
Yet another emotional suicide overdosed on sentiment and pride
Too late to say I love you, too late to re-stage the play
Abandoning the relics in my playground of yesterday

I'm losing on the swings, I'm losing on the roundabouts
I'm losing on the swings, I'm losing on the roundabouts
Too much, too soon, too far to go, too late to play, the game is over
The game is over
...
...
So I'll hold our peace forever when you wear your bridal gown
In the silence of my shame the mute that sang the sirens' song
Has gone solo in the game, I've gone solo in the game
But the game is over
Can you still say you love me"
