I fell across a track yesterday that I hadnt heard for ages it used to be one of my favourites, its by a band called Marillion, I used to listen to them all the time. I remember when I first moved to Edinburgh and Fish the singer was attending a kind of local gala so I went along and as he had been a hero of mine for such a long time I went all stupid when I got to meet him and stupidly asked him did he want to come out for a drink for me birthday he politely declined and said he was on the wagon. I remember a long time ago reading that he would love to be stuck in a lift with a load of red stripe lager. Also yesterday I found a load of photographs of me when I was younger which completely freaked me out as one was from the age of 14 and in me school uniform, what a gormless looking bitch I was back then.
Anyway just wanted to share the song with yourselves and here is a link to the mp3 and the lyrics

Freaks by Marillion the lyrics
Have you ever met a lady, screaming angst potential?
Have you ever dreamed of romance, no matter how experimental?
Have you ever felt an alien drifting back into your hometown?
Did you think you were buying safety when you bought that piece of ground?
She said all the best freaks are here
She said all the best freaks are here, please stop staring at me
So I said all the best freaks are here
All the best freaks are here, please stop staring at me
Have you ever woke up, sweating in the middle of the night?
You search the darkness and you're scrambling for the light
Have you ever walked down the street, heard bootsteps following you?
Don't worry my son, you've got the spook squad looking after you
He said all the best freaks are here
He said all the best freaks are here, please stop staring at me
So I said all the best freaks are here
All the best freaks are here, please stop staring at me, stop staring at me
Airport terminal, patiently waiting on the last call
You feel the eyes burn the back of your head
Sign the autograph, get out of the picture, gonna have the last laugh
Feel the whispers as you head for the plane
Stop staring at me
Love and linen sheets seem so very far away
You save your pennies and you buy another day
But after all it's only hide and seek, just another game
There's so much fun to be had when you're living with a name
All the best freaks are here, all the best freaks are here
Please stop staring at me, all the best freaks are here
All the best freaks are here, please stop staring at me
Oh, stop staring at me, oh, stop staring at me
They said all the best freaks are here
All the best freaks are here, please stop staring at me
All the best freaks are here
All the best freaks are here, please stop staring at me
