A Few Words For The Dead Lyrics - Marillion

"The songs and the music that I portray comes from the heart, and comes from the mind. That makes it... that makes me feel that I am delivering the right information" 

Can you make it your own 

Can you take it by the throat 

Make your own luck, learn the skills 

Get in early for the kill 

It carries on 

Pick up the weapon 

Marry it, give it your name 

Define yourself by it 

Take it down 'the disco 

Trigger happy, pulling power 

Lady killer, take 'em out 

See the weirdos on the hill 

Come to get you if you stand still 

It carries on 

Somewhere in history you were wronged 

Teach your children to bang the drum 

Tell all your family, tell all your friends 

Teach your brothers to avenge 

It carries on 

Or you could love 

You could love 

Lie down in the flowers 

In the blue of the air 

Open your eyes 

Why use up your life for anything else? 

No need to fight for what everyone has 

What do you need? 

It's already there 

It's already there 

You could love 

So he carried the stars in his pocket 

Drank the sunrise till he was drunk 

He embraced the angels 

They swam like little minnows in his blood 

Ghosts in his eyes 

Out walking beside him 

Laughing like children in his mind 

They chanted his mantra together 

You could love 

They were happy
