WE DO THE MASHED POTATO AND THE FUNKY CHICKEN

Marillion - "Jigsaw" Live In Zurich, Switzerland 1984 (video).

Posted 2 months ago

A fantastic song by Marillion, taken from the album FUGAZI.

Marillion - Jigsaw:

We are jigsaw pieces aligned on the perimeter edge
Interlocked through a missing piece
We are renaissance children becalmed beneath the bridge of sighs
Forever throwing firebrands at the stonework
We are siamese children related by the heart
Bleeding from the surgery of initial confrontation
Holding the word scalpels on trembling lips

Stand straight, look me in the eye and say goodbye
Stand straight, weve drifted past the point of reasons why
Yesterday starts tomorrow, tomorrow starts today
And the problem always seems to be were picking up the pieces on the ricochet
This is the ricochet

Drowning tequila sunsets, stowaways on midnight ships
Refugees of romance plead asylum from the real
Scrambling distress signals on random frequencies
Forever repatriated on guilt laden morning planes
We are pilots of passion sweating the flight on course
To another summit conference, another breakfast time divorce
Screaming out a ceasefire, snowblind in an avalanche zone

Stand straight, look me in the eye and say goodbye, say goodbye
Stand straight, weve drifted past the point of reasons why
Yesterday starts tomorrow, tomorrow starts today
And the problem always seems to be were picking up the pieces on the ricochet
This is the ricochet

Are we trigger happy?
Russian roulette in the waiting room
Empty chambers embracing the end
Puzzled visions haunt the ripples of a trevi moon
Dream coins for the fountain or to cover your eyes
We reached ignition point from the sparks of pleasantries
We sensed the smoke advancing from horizons
You must have known that I was planning an escape

Stand straight, look me in the eye and say goodbye, say goodbye
Stand straight, weve drifted past the point of reasons why
Yesterday starts tomorrow, tomorrow starts today, starts today
And the problem always seems to be were picking up the pieces on the ricochet
This is the ricochet

Ill be seeing you again, on the ricochet
Will you show me the pieces next time, on the ricochet
Ill be seeing you again, on the ricochet
Theres a problem, theres a ricochet

Studio Album, released in 1984

    Great post. Fugazi is often overlooked. So here are two more songs from Fugazi.

    Great Wiz! You MUST buy this on cd now :-) Or buy a digital download album. It`s not quite the same as the actual cd though....  The Remaster cd from 1998 is a double cd, with 12" and mixes as well.
