thanks so much for THIS here,,,wow,,,,,it´s so unique,,,,love it ,,,though unsusual,,,

[JohnfromB3]

My father bought the album Misplaced Childhood and in my opinion it is the best I've ever heard because all songs have this touch, and are part of the album. When I'm listening to this CD, then I've to listen to the hole album and not to one song of it. I wish new albums of other groups could do it this way too... But new albums always have to be FUCKING COMMERCIAL...

[laspdetVallarta]

Could a native English speaker post this lyrics? Write them down and copy them here? Thanks. Best love song ever!!!

[crossy1974]

Is this version available on c.d or for download ?

[92Kayleigh92]

ive met fish i think 3 years back now in paderborn and we had a long talk becasue my name was taken from this song..i asked him if the song has anything to do with a former girlfriend or anything and he said no so im sorry but the storry above is wrong.

[everton619]

@92Kayleigh92

It is, He admitted in an Interview before, and reinterated after, the Recital Of The Script Video, that it was named after TWO Girlfriends, Kay, and Leigh, but He merged the names, and wrote about experiences He had with them, and His feelings, Kay was the 2nd Girl, and He was in the process of writing a Love-Song to be played for Her on Valentines Day, hence the last line on the finished version.

[Marillionboy]

@everton619 No, it was one girl, Kay, her middle name was Lee. The lyric was about several ex girlfriends though

[everton619]

@Marillionboy

Ahhh, sorry, My information was wrong :/

Only 15 though, so alot to learn still :)

[runrigtam]

@everton619 yah, actually, i have spoken with him about this, and he has confirmed it WAS 2 girls, Kay and Leigh........

the name Kayleigh (with that spelling) never actually existed before the song just for reference :)

[TutSichNix]

@92Kayleigh92

first,congratulation to your name, i think it´s a really nice name and it´sounds very well.

oh, .. you met fish in paderborn and talk to him. thats fine.

but, do you really think fish talks to everybody about all his feelings and wound from yesterday ? maybe to each he met one and finaly also the last time in his life ?

do you not believe there are deep cut´s in his life he want to forget ? sorry,

i believe the story is more credible as you´re one time talk. 

[pietvanpa01]

A few years ago i gained this version with the story told above. If i've made a mistake and someone can give me the 'real story' than i shall edit my comment.

[Hoppetosse311]

@pietvanpa01 have a live vesion......didnt know that it was released

[HollowCauses]

'Childhood Rehearsals' is a live album, which explains why the lyrics sound nearly same as on the 1984 Hammersmith Odeon CD from Early Stages. Early Stages comes with a booklet where Fish talks about each concert, and he says; "I didn't have "Kayleigh" written down and jammed the words every night we played it. Some moments were tentative but overall the version we were performing was the definitive album arrangement."

Any evidence for "The text was changed because it seemed to be too personal"?

[pietvanpa01]

The recording where i stripped this Kayleigh from, starts with Fish telling the audience that this is a new song from an album te be released the next year.

[onomatopoeia99]

@pietvanpa01 If Fish's preamble mentions it is a new track and a new direction and that the album will contain two tracks, called side 1 and side 2, then this was recorded from a live concert in late 1984 and broadcast on BBC Radio 1. There was no Lavender, Bitter suite was somewhat different and the lyrics of Heart of Lothian were slightly different as well ("looking like vultures at a watering hole"). 15 year old me taped it from the radio and played it until the tape snapped.

[pietvanpa01]

@onomatopoeia99 i have the whole part. If you like then i can post it on Youtube.
