Marillion - Sugar Mice

I was flicking through the channels on the tv
On a sunday in milwaukee in the rain
Trying to piece together conversations
Trying to find out where to lay the blame

But when it comes right down to it theres no use trying to pretend
For when it gets right down to it theres no one here thats left to blame
Blame it on me, you can blame it on me
Were just sugar mice in the rain

I heard sinatra calling me through the floorboards
Where you pay a quarter for a partnership in rhyme
To the jukebox crying in the corner
While the waitress is counting out the time

For when it comes right down to it theres no use trying to pretend
For when it gets right down to it theres no one really left to blame
Blame it on me, you can blame it on me
Were just sugar mice in the rain

cause I know what I feel, know what I want I know what I am
Daddy took a raincheck
Cos I know what I want, know what I feel I know what I need
Daddy took a raincheck, your daddy took a raincheck
Aint no one in here thats left to blame but me
Blame it on me, blame it on me

Well the toughest thing that I ever did was talk to the kids on the phone
When I heard them asking questions I knew that that you were all alone
Cant you understand that the government left me out of work
I just couldnt stand the looks on their faces saying, what a jerk

So if you want my address its number one at the end of the bar
Where I sit with the broken angels clutching at straws and nursing our scars
Blame it on me, blame it on me
Sugar mice in the rain
Your daddy took a raincheck, your daddy took a raincheck

I think Clutching at Straws is a beautyful record. Start to finish. One of the best for sure.

This really is one of the best ballads of the '80s. Not that it ever gets recognised that way, of course. Say the radio stations, music channels and record company execs: "Marillion, you say? Sorry, but unless it's 'Kayleigh', we don't want to know."

classic

A classic tune this was,reminds me of when i was younger.I used to love the album covers,they where outstanding.The front cover of misplaced childhood album was a classic.

[miserableoldcunt]

a truly beautiful song. well written, well produced and perforemed by a band that never gave anything less than a hundred per cent , what more could any music lover ask for.

I was thinking of this song today, and I have never been so desperate to listen to a song. I don't think I can describe it, just say that Marillion are the most amazing, most beautiful band in the world.
