Script For A Jester's Tear Lyrics
"the mute that sang the sirens' song" that just breaks my heart. I have loved this song for so long . Its a song that's wriiten by a scotsman. Scots guys are seldom are in touch with their feelings unless drunk. But this has a celtic mans remorse, the poetic romantic Rabby burns side of the scotsman that can't find the words to say as he feels until its too late "So I'll hold our peace forever when you wear your bridal gown" and before Im slated by scotsman claiming im harsh on them and what do i know........ i'm a scotswoman.
I completely agree. You have it right Tine. "The fool who escaped from paradise" It is about regret. "She kissed her prince and found her frog". Deep deep regret

pure lyrical genius that's sung with lots of emotion
fantastic song especially after the line "Promised wedding now awake". Just pure awesomeness
I agree, the whole song is genius but my favourite part begins with, "The fool escaped from paradise..." and is then just pure class to the end of the song.

One of the greatest songs ever. Quite self-explaining. Perhaps a man who never had the courage to admit his love so he lost her to another.
great song but remember too put a space inbetween promised wedding now a wake not awake is in sleeping but the rite funeral/wake
@radioheadster plus i think it is actually promised wedding now a wake

one of my favorie marrillion songs. I have read that this song refers to fish's relationship with his much loved girlfriend kay though it was written much before kayleigh but then I don't know how long they were together..... It's clearly about lost love and regret, very sad but fantasic song
A lot of fish lyrics are to do with lost love I find ....and another sad story behind the ex girlfriend of fish is I read on marillion web page that Kay that inspired these songs has since died of cancer I heard :(
It\'s "promised wedding now a wake" not "awake" - as in a wake that proceeds a funeral. Awake doesn\'t even make sense in the context of the lyrics but "a wake" does.
