Marillion - Out Of This World Lyrics

Artist: Marillion

Album: Afraid Of Sunlight

Genre: Rock

  • Songwriters: John Helmer, Steve Hogarth, Mark Colbert Kelly, Ian Francesko Mosley, Steven Thomas Rothery, Peter John Trewavas

Three hundred miles an hour on water
In your purpose-built machine
No one dared to call a boat

Screaming blue, out of this world
Make history, this is your day, blue bird
At such speeds things fly

What did she say?
I know the pain of too much tenderness
Wondering when or if you'll come back again
Wanting to live for you and being banned from giving

But only love will turn you around
Only love will turn you around
Only love, only love will turn you around

[Incomprehensible]

So we live you and I, either side of the edge
And we run and we scream
With the dilated stare of obsession and dreaming
What the hell do we want?

Is it only to go where nobody has gone
A better way than the herd, sing a different song
Till you're running the ledge to the gasp from the crowd
Spinning 'round in your head, everything that she said

    I believe this song was sung solo by Steve Hogarth at Donald Campbell's funeral after he died attempting a world water speed record at Lake Coniston.
