Gazpacho Lyrics - Marillion

Saw you walking on your velvet lawn 

Is it lonely on the moon? 

You took a dive and swallowed all you could 

Did you drink too much too soon? 

Nothing left for you to fight about 

And no one wants to see you try 

The nearest neighbours are a mile away 

Does the ocean hear you cry? 

Punching at the sky 

They say the King is losin' his grip again 

They said you're bullet proof, they said you feel no pain 

It seems the hero is misunderstood again 

Is it love or is it surgery 

Makes her seem so ill at ease 

As she's begging you to please calm down 

In her silk Armani on her knees 

Did you carry out those threats I heard 

Or were you only playing macho? 

And the stains on her Versace scarf 

Were they really just Gazpacho? 

They say the King is watching his back again 

They say the King is losing his grip again 

Raging like a bull to an empty ring 

D'you think they will forgive a hero anything? 

Now the ring is just a band of gold 

And your wife needs police protection 

While you're sparring with the journalists 

You're trying to win back her affection 

Is this what it means to be a man 

Boxing up all your emotion 

So now she's gone and you're alone at last 

You can tell it to the ocean 

They say the King is losing his grip again 

They say the King is countin' his numbered days 

You never lost a fight in your whole life 

You never had no trouble sleepin' through the night 

The bottle and the doctor get you through the day 

The boys who run the house'll make it all okay 

You think they will forgive a hero anything 

Maybe Hollywood 

But maybe then again 

Now the ring is just a band of gold 

Drive the road
