Marillion - Script For A Jester's Tear (extract)

One of my favorite parts of Recital Of The Script, Live at Hammersmith Odeon, London (18th April 1983)

Derek W. Dick Fish (vocals); Steve Rothery (guitars); Mark Kelly (keyboards); Pete Trewavas (bass); Mick Pointer (drums)

"I never did write that love song, the words just never seemed to flow...
Now sad in reflection, did I gaze through perfection
and examine the shadows on the other side of the morning
and examine the shadows on the other side of mourning
promised wedding now a wake!

The fool escaped from paradise will look over his shoulder and cry
Sit and chew on daffodils and struggle to answer why?
As you grow up and leave the playground
where you kissed your prince and found your frog.
Remember the jester that showed you tears, the script for tears

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
Can you still say you love me
Can you still say that you love me
Do you love me, do you love me?
do you love me , do you love me?...
