yes, this song is totally fantastic. i cannot believe how goog a lyricist Fish is. his solo stuff seems to prove he was the major creative force behind marillion..
@christopherharmon suicide m8. listen to the lyrics. he sat there thinking bout the reasons he slashed while he bleeding. song saved me and sounds like it saved him!!!!
Amazing video... this is my first time seeing this, but some of these scenes I have seen in my dreams...
Mark Kelley and Steven Rothery are the "doctors" talking outside the padded room Fish is haunting, yes? And isn't that Peter playing the part of the joker? I didn't see Ian...
Estimated friend, if you want to listen again this song and an endless number of successes of the love I suggest you to visit Radio MUSICA PARA MIMOS - looks for his direction URL in Google ( search Musica para Mimos in Google)-. best romantic music of all the times in Internet, is great, is very good ...!!!
I absolutely love this song, as well as this album, but I can't help but misshear one of the lines as "justin beiber crawling up your bathroom wall", and it makes me very sad.
Personalmente apprezzo Fish tanto quanto Hogarth.sono eccezionali entrambi,in tempi diversi , hanno trasmesso emozioni incredibili non paragonabili,la caratteristica carismatica dei due sono assolutamente diverse,ma nonostante la musica dei Marillion sia un pò variata,li apprezzo entrambi.
Five people thumbed this down... is it a grudge? Some sort of moral stand? Like the song but hate the video? Always hated the song and loaded it just to give it a bad rating? Just enjoy giving bad ratings in general? Somehow misled by the title? WHAT???

Fish used to be a forest worker at Bowhill Estate here in the Scottish borders before he started the band Marillion and I often seen him walking around the town where I live. He lives near Haddington in east Lothian now, But I think his lyrics are so poetic and a bit like Jefro Tull
Great song .........with warnings........album version is the best tho ........slashed wrists ,.....pumping arteries ooz the problem through the gap that the razor tore ........
This is for so many years now one of my favourite songs, so good to hear it. Reminds me of the best time in my life with my beloved Biggi <3 best friends 4e
Sorry to current Marillion fans but to me it's like Queen losing Freddie Mercury...... But to me Marillion died when Fish left. They lost their main asset.
Although they are all very talented musicians.... It's like fish without chips, Zeppelin without Bonham. It just isn't the same anymore for me.
I'd rather go see Fish live than Marillion. Yes I agree he is still quality and I also saw him a couple of times recently!
@chymist66 Ah, fair enough, but shame you only saw fish in marillion, marillion was always more than 1 man. As much as I loved fish, I think marillion matured so well without him, you have to admit they made some fantastic albums after fish. Saying that, misplaced childhood will always be my most favourite album ever.
Agree with you on many levels. To me when one band member is so strong and defines their work then it ain't the same anymore. They are without a doubt fantastic musicians. You've seen the advert BMW more than the sum of its parts.
Fish was the heart of the band. Fugazi is my personal favourite album followed closely by Script. Misplaced is good also but reminds me of a previous girlfriend who I choose to forget. Bit of a bunny boiler.
@Drummerkins What are these fantastic albums you are referring to? The only one i can think of is Season's End and there was probably a lot of stuff left over from the Fish days.
@LycansGrim Yeah absolutely! I mean, it's not that the new Marillion is so bad, but for me the Hogarth-period will never be Marillion. It's another band - which I will never be a great fan of. This, on the other hand: as great as it can ever be.
F-ing BRILLIANT imagery! Such chaos. Such poetic cacophony. It's rare that a video can be almost as fantastic as the music it represents! And Fish... Beautiful Fish... You are music to my ears. and eyes!
Argumentaron que la performance de Pointer adolecía de problemas de técnica (en otras palabras, que el tipo no era lo suficientemente bueno). Creo que Pointer era tan bueno (o tan malo) como los otros, cosa que demostró muchos años después en Arena (escuchar, sobre todo, el CD "The Visitor"), comprobándolo personalmente hace unos años cuando tocaron aquí en BS AS.Me parece que hubo presión de EMI, a la que cedió Fish porque no le convenía contrariarlos.
Pointer es un batero del carajo. Un poco mas simple pero por eso ARENA tiene la pasta que tiene. Mis bandas favoritas. aparte, el gordo Nolan no va traer un tipo es un muerto.
Hey Im a great Marillion fan, and I love almost everything from them from fish period to marbles^^ and some of somewhere else, but this song never get my attention, and I stilld dont know what the lyrics mean, can anyone tell me, maybe when I know the meaning of the song I can appreciate it:) thanx
It specifically refers to LSD. The title "he knows you know" refers to the idea that people who take LSD somehow "know" something more than everyone else.
I saw Marillion in 1983 and Fish introduced this song with the following "Is there anyone in tonight on acid? I pity you."
XShinjoX - I'm with you here - but more so - not words in the whole God damn universe to express Marillion at this time -this song is sublime-need to find the extended version of it (12"- here in the UK)Can you help me???
I love the strong synth sound and punching bass in this song. I think he does have a Peter Gabriel quality. I seen them live in the early 80's in a small outside venue in Buffalo, NY when Fish wore makeup. This was the best song of their show that day.
soo right marillion is not marillion without fish. superb, saw them live lots of times in the early days, used to fancy fish something rotten
