God, I really love Marillion. Some samples of lyrics:

"The thief of Baghdad hides in Islington now
Praying deportation for his sacred cow
A legacy of romance from a twilight world
The dowry of a relative mystery girl
A Vietnamese flower, a Dockland union
A mistress of release from a magazine's thighs
Magdalenes contracts more than favours
The feeding hands of western promise hold her by the throat
[...]
Where are the prophets, where are the visionaries, where are the poets
To breach the dawn of the sentimental mercenary"
-Fugazi

"I act the role in classic style of a martyr carved with twisted smile
To bleed the lyric for this song to write the rites to right my wrongs
An epitaph to a broken dream to exorcise this silent scream
A scream that's borne from sorrow

I never did write that love song, the words just never seemed to flow"
-Script for a Jester's Tear

"And the man from the magazine, wants another shot of you all curled up
'Cos you look like an actor in a movie shot.
But you're feeling like a wino in a parking lot
How did I get in here anyway?
Do we really need a playback of the show?
'Cos the wideboys want to head for the watering holes

Let's go

And the man in the mirror has sad eyes"
-Heart of Lothian

I could quote so much more, but I won't. If you want tracks, im me at Hadron1982 (AIM). Also, Steve Hogarth. Is hot.
