Fish - Credo - Internal Exile

Lyrics:

I watch the TV every night,
I stay awake by satellite,
I hope and pray the nightmares,
Stay away today.

An oily shroud on a coral reef,
A black cloud's hanging over me.
When I hit on the remote,
The programmes stay the same.
Credo, credo, credo, credo.

An assegai slick with sweat and blood,
A shotgun barks at a rabid dog,
A shallow grave hugs a highway,
Beneath a bleaching sun.

chorus:
Credo, credo, credo, credo,
It don't mean nothin'; it don't mean nothin'
It don't mean nothin'; it don't mean nothin' to me.

When cancer sucks a young girl's breast.
When a company chains a young man's soul
When the coal dust stole
My grandad's breath away.

(chorus)

A tattered tramp tacks a windy wynd,
To close a crowded circle a brazier's light,
A man becomes a mountain, in the falling snow.
A mother screams and a baby cries.
The memory gone before the blood has dried.
A needle pricks the conscience,
To help it fade away.

(chorus)

The more you scream, the less you hear,
Or that's how it used to be.
But I just can't tell the difference
Anymore these days.
The open lips of an alter[1] boy,
A planet spins in a silent void,
The options are ever fewer
On the ground these days

(chorus)

Fish, there're not many lyricists who can hold a torch to him, they're as meaningful today as when they were first written. An amazing talent xXx

Great music. I like Derek on his own, and Marillion w/o him. I enjoy it all, so you wont hear me complain a bit about either way. I wish other people did the same. :)

@smileycc2003

Fish is the stage name of Derek Dick who was lead singer with Marillion from 1981 to 1989 (i,e their  commercial peak). Neither party has fared as well since. Hope that's helpful.
