A hand held over a candle in angst fuelled bravado

A carbon trail scores a moist stretched palm

Trapped in the indecision of another fine menu

And you sit there and ask me to tell you the story so far

This is the story so far

Shuffling your memories dealing your doodles in margins

You scrawl out your poems across a beermat or two

And when you declare the point of grave creation

They turn round and you to tell them the story so far

This is the story so far

And you listen with a tear in you eye

To their hopes and betrayals and your only reply

Is Slainte Mhath

Princes in exile raising the standard Drambuie

Parading their anecdotes tired from old campaigns

Holding their own last orders commanding attention

We sit here and listen to all of the story so far

This is the story so far

Take it away, take it away, take it away

Take me away, take me away, take me away

From the dream on the barbed wire at Flanders and Bilston Glen

From a Clydeside that rusts from the tears of its broken men

From the realisation that we've been left behind

Is to stand like our fathers before us in the firing line

Waiting on the whistle to blow

We stand here waiting on the whistle to blow

They promised us miracles, and the whistle still blows

Broken promises but the whistle still blows

Waiting on the whistle to blow

We stand here waiting on the whistle to blow

Gotta fit up my sound system again to appreciate this in its full glory. The 'panoramic' soundscape just blows you away. I can picture Fish's leg propped up on a wooden crate, wearing an oilskin overcoat with matching hat, windswept on the back of a chariot, addressing his audience of mere mortals, who are looking on in awe! (Lyrics to another tune???man!)

Need this for reference - 3:00 - Brilliant song. Discovered Marillion in the 80's, good to hear them again. Marillion the name is taken from 'The Silmarillion' by Tolkien.

"Incommunicado," was incredible by this Marillion....but, this...this song is supernatural good. One of the greatest prog songs I ever heard. "Slainte Mhath" is a spine tingling performance. Fish's vocals are surreal and powerful. Rock & Roll Hall of Fame? Who needs them? I played this for my 15 year old nephew & his jaw dropped. In one week he had purchased all the available Marillion and Fish solo albums. Lyrics for this song are also way above average. Many say you can't write a rock song with too many syllables. Guess Marillion did hear about that rule. "Princes in exile raising the standard Drambuie." Indeed. "They promised us miracles and the whistle still blows...Broken promises but, the whistle still blows..." Damn. This is to be relished. They carry the tradition of King Crimson, Procol Harum and Strawbs brilliantly.

Czworo zagadniętych dzis w pracy tubylców nigdy nie słyszało o Marillion... Może byli za młodzi... Chociaz tyle, że wiedzieli co to Silmarillion :)
