Marillion - Kayleigh (the original lyrics) video free download
Marillion - Childhood Rehearsals (Kayleigh)
It was the first release of Kayleigh. The text was changed because it seemed to be to personal. Lead singer Fish wrote this about his former girlfriend Kay whose middle name was Lee, and after their painful breakup Fish altered the name slightly.
The song originally came about when guitarist Steve Rothery developed a catchy riff on his guitar. Fish put some lyrics to the riff and Marillion had their biggest ever hit on their hands. Said Rothery: "My wife to be, Jo, asked me to explain how I came up with my musical ideas, picking up a nearby guitar I started improvising what later became the 'Kayleigh' riff whilst explaining that I tried to combine melody and rhythm. I sometimes wonder if we would still have written 'Kayleigh' if she had asked me if there was anything good on the telly instead!" (Quote from Internet Movie Database
This rare version has never been released as far i know. Except for the Childhood Rehearsal release.

lyrics:Do you remember - chalk hearts melting on a playground wall? Do you remember - dawn escapes from moonwashed college halls? Do you remember - dreaming on the heath 'til after dark? Do you remember - loving on the floor, in Belsize Park? By the way, didn't I break your heart? Please excuse me, I never meant to break your heart, So sorry, I never meant to break your heart - But you broke mine! KayLEIGH! We could've had a garden Kayleigh, we could have done it one more time, We could mow the lawn on Sundays (!) We could capture suntans from the breeze. Kayleigh, we promised it forever, But Kayleigh, the secrets stay alone, We could buy the house in Edmonton, We could always try to make it - so long (solo) Do you remember - blocked-up lines & calls from Montreal? Do you remember - your Mother asked me NEVER to call? Do you remember - talking in the bedroom, making plans? Do you remember - you told me I should join a band? By the way, etc . . KayLEIGH! We could have had a garden, Kayleigh, we could work it just one more time, We could mow the lawn on Sundays, We could capture suntans from the breeze. Kayleigh, it never worked out this time, Kayleigh, we could promise it again, The problem seems to be the secrets, You could say it came to a natural end.10 years ago

If any one says that this song is boring then they seriously need to learn to appreciate good music. This classic is 28 years old.10 years ago
