Marillion - Fantastic Place Lyrics






[Islands are mountain-tops]

It's always a struggle
To let somebody go
It's a natural desire
To own your lover, I know

And you can screw a man down
Until he takes to drinking
He'll give you all of his money
You still won't know what he's thinking

Take me to the fantastic place
Keep the rest of my life away
Take me to the fantastic place
Keep the rest of my life away

Take me to the island
I'll watch the rain over your shoulder
The streetlights in the water
The moment outside of real life

I never could dream while I was sleeping
Put your arms around my soul
And take it dancing..

Take me to the fantastic place
Keep the rest of my life away
Take me to the fantastic place
Keep the rest of my life away

Take me to the island
I'll watch the rain over your shoulder
The streetlights on the wet stone
The moment outside of real life

Say you understand me
And I will leave myself completely
Forgive me if I stare
But I can see the island behind your tired, troubled eyes

Take me to the island
I'll tell you all I never told you
The boy I never showed you
More than I gave in my life
Take me by the hand
You'll either kill me or you'll save me
Take me to the island
Show me what might be real life

  5. M.... C....

    This music is absolutely uninspired and boring; I rembember the days when Marillion made fine progressive-rock (only the guitar-playing of Steve Rothery reminds me of these times ...)

  6. E.... V....

    So poor, so ridiculous, so simple this reaction.

    Merveilleuse chanson d'un merveilleux groupe

  23. S.... W....

    Who are the 18 Dislikes? You've got to be kidding me!!

    S.... W....

    A real fan who preferes the original version. Better arrangement, better singing, less sugar.

    S.... W....

    Non-musos who never got over the only Marillion track they know...I am of course referring to Kayleigh!

    S.... W....

    ... Or fans of the superior version on Marbles...

    S.... W....

    Amazing, but BORING!!!!!

    S.... W....

    Why? This is NOT Fish. This is SHITE.

  24. 1.... ....

    Sounds boring and as if the band is just satisfied with their basic formula for writing a song. Nothing is interesting and vocals have a monotone sound to them.

    1.... ....

    That's not a good Marillion song. Nothing that reminds the old albums since H. entered. The last one, F.E.A.R. is just bad. It's a Pitty.

  25. M.... M....

    Nulla di nuovo nel panorama della band, sempre il solito sound, e la voce la solita lagna.

    M.... M....

    Più di così non riescono....

    M.... M....

    Però... due grandissimi musicisti e grandi intenditori che discutono su una band da 4 soldi vero?
    Ma che barzelletta siete! É mancato solo il nostalgico di Fish, di turno, con i soliti blá blá blá noiosi.
    Probabilmente siete fermi ai tre primi album per sparare le strozzate che avete scritto! Se vivete del passato forse è meglio visitare qualche museo invece che sentire loro.
    Grandi critici musicali, ma fatemi...

    M.... M....

    Io non sono un grandissimo musicista, la band non è una baud da quattro soldi, non sono una barzelletta, e per ciò che riguarda il nostalgico Fish ti ricordo che la band è conosciuta proprio per quel periodo. Ti ricordo poi che non vivo nel passato, musicalmente parlando, anche se dal passato qualcuno potrebbe trarre qualche beneficio ascoltando gruppi che di musica avrebbero da insegnare a tanti il giorno d'oggi. Sono 55 anni che ascolto musica, sono un appassionato di prog sia di quello da museo , che di neo prog, e ho un amore smisurato per una band che si chiama Kansas, anche se devo ammettere che gli ultimi lavori che hanno fatto sono lavori da cover band. Credo che i Marillion siano ancora oggi dei musicisti straordinari, ma come successo con i Genesis, con Collins, abbiano si ottenuto un successo commerciare, ma sulle rovine di una creatività che passando gli anni hanno perso. Nom vorrei soffermarmi poi sulla voce.@Ulysses N.

    M.... M....

    @Ulysses N. Ah...lo sai che sono un grande musicista!!!

    M.... M....

    Condivido pienamente...solo il primo disco con Hogarth mi è piaciuto...

  26. M.... O....

    Sounds like an outtake from this strange engine sessions.

  27. I.... A....

    One of my favourite songs from my all time favourite band.

  28. O.... R....

    simply fantastic !!

  29. M.... ....

    Wunderbar !!...Ich vermisse Fish überhaupt nicht! Hogarths Stimme und Charisma sind großartig.

  30. T.... M....

    Beautiful.

  31. J.... G....

    Saw this live in Gateshead this week... Very wonderful.

    J.... G....

    I was there. A beautiful song. Best band in the world. Great musicians with great fans at a wonderful venue. So underrated is prog rock.
    Marillion keep getting better and the orchestra were amazing adding to the already wonderful selection of songs.

  32. B.... .....

    Still prefer Fish

    B.... .....

    Fish has a powerful and personal voice. H can be a good singer but you can't tell the difference between him and a hundred others.

    B.... .....

    @Marcelo T Really? Just list me five please.

    B.... .....

    @Ulysses N. Well there is nothing wrong with liking a singer from the 80's, l am sure you love bands from the 70's as well... Am I wrong?

    B.... .....

    @Marcelo T wait so who does H sound like? I vastly prefer H to Fish. I dont think either one sounds like anyone else though.

    B.... .....

    Both are different singers, but you must appreciate both as great.

  33. T.... W....

    Just seen these guys in Glasgow on Tuesday ,awesome .

  34. B.... G....

  44. M.... ....

    WOW WOW DAD MADE HIS OWN VIOLINS

  45. W.... C....

    Don't really know anything they've done since Fish(yeah I know) they had a distinct sound but this could be anyone.

    W.... C....

    You need to see them with h. You may have a different perspective as a result. Seriously. Try it. :-)

    W.... C....

    This is the fish vs h comment you have been looking for lol

    W.... C....

    Oh my you have missed out!

  46. P.... M....

    no me convence

    P.... M....

    Sera por que no entiendes una M... de musica!

  47. B.... B....

    H can sing me to sleep any ole time

  48. T.... B....

    Great instrumental backing, but good god what's happened to h's voice recently? Sounds like he's snarling or something?

    T.... B....

    @Tim Barnes Nah he's always sounded like that in places. :-) Nothing new.

    T.... B....

    @Tim Barnes With all respect mate - think you are being ultra picky here. His voice is still great......now Fish on the the other hand....

    T.... B....

    ​@Andrew Glennon Maybe I am but these little things seem to crop up more and more in the videos, his voice is still great but it's just becoming more of a distraction these days idk

    T.... B....

    Exactly! I guess it is his voice showing the age

    T.... B....

    It sounds overdone

  49. D.... C....

    looks more like "life on mars" to me
