You to me are endless
You keep to every word
Out among the heavens
Feeling all Ive yearned
Starless starlight
When ya gonna come on home?
Starless starlight
Beats on the ocean floor
Star shine in abundance
I’m Insignificant
Receiving all the wonder
Falling from the skies above
Starless starlight
When ya gonna come on home?
Starless starlight
Beats on the ocean floor
Starless startlight
Dancing on the horizon
Starless starlight
Loves filling up my heart
And everything you’re giving me
Is everything I ever need
I quantify the life received
And know that I am so lucky
In that moment I am lost
And troubles seem to fade to dust
And when it comes to closing time
I shut my eyes and I feel blessed

Little Piece of America

LITTLE PIECE OF AMERICA
This little place in America
Is where is started - when it would end
This little jewel of America
A bus ride and a will to defend
This little place in America
Montgomery 2-8-5-7
Out on her own in a America
Shaping - making - glorious days
Refuse (refuse)
To stand in my shoes
You curse (you curse)
Cos I was here first
You think (You think)
You’re stealing my seat?…
Well I am not leaving
In this little piece of America
Alabama was singing a song
This was the start of beginnings
A revolution - we knew it was wrong
This was her time in America
Just got her angry - never looked back
This little place called America
Was starting to see promise and change….
Refuse (refuse)
To stand in my shoes
You curse (you curse)
Cos I was here first
You think (You think)
You’re stealing my seat?…
Well I am not leaving
With grace - with pride
So honest and true
She sat down for me
She stood up for you
Refused to move
When she’s ordered to do
America’s flying
Lala lala lala
AMERICAS FLYING….
This little time in America
A seamstress with a personal pride
Took on the rules confronting her
And moved the country - we’re in for a ride
Refuse (refuse)
To stand in my shoes
You curse (you curse)
Cos I was here first
You think (You think)
You’re stealing my seat?…
Well I am not leaving
With grace - with pride
So honest and true
She sat down for me
She stood up for you
Refused to move
When she’s ordered to do
America’s flying

What Have I Gotta Do?

You never can show enough
Always feel you’re hiding
A lost face in the smile
Behind the veil you’re your crying
Never could cross the line
Get deeper than the surface
Never thought you were mine
Lost you somewhere trying
What have I gotta do - I try to reach you somehow
What have I gotta say - to break the guarded silence
What have you gotta do - what you got to have say
What have I gotta do to make you love me more?
Time is just floating by
And we are still not flying
Not sure what to do -
its not like I’m not trying
Reaching out to you
Is fumbling in the darkness
Nothing can get through
I barely scratch the surface
What have I gotta do - I’m tryin’ to reach you somehow
What have I gotta say - to break the guarded silence
What have you gotta do - what you got to have say
- I really miss you
What is the final game - burning out our twin flames
What have I gotta do to make you love me more?

Wanted

I’m wanting a new start
A beginning
Something that is far from
You - When no one will notice
What I’m doing
I can live a little…
I’m tired of ideology
And everything it means to me
I got burned once thats once too much
And all I want is silence
Reclining into quiet life
I don’t need fuss or all that strife
It seems as if I got to be
Somewhere I’m not wanted
I don’t want to be wanted or
Want to be loved
I just want to be up above
I’m out of the limelight
Out on my own
I just want to be all alone
I don’t want attention
Just ignore me
Don’t want your eyes one me at
All - This is my journey
And its my space
I’m walking to the future
I tried to be the best could
But clearly things weren’t as they should
I really have to waste my time
On things that really matter
So look away don’t spare a thought
I’ve taken lessons - read the books
I’m out of here for sometime now
I’ll see you guys much later….
I don’t want to be wanted or
Want to be loved
I just want to be up above
I’m out of the limelight
Out on my own
I just want to be all alone
So save the stares for someone else
Im damaged goods and not much use
Its me time
Im climbing into inner self
And redefining what the hell
Does this mean
I’m wanting a new start
A beginning
Something that is far from
You - When no one will notice
What I’m doing
I can live a little…
I don't want wanted
I dont want fame
I dont need anything that circumvents your pain
I don't want wanted
Thanks all the same
I don't one one up on you
Its not a game

Caught the midst of time
Between the borderline
Of being right here - and somewhere out there
In a place beyond the shadows
Suddenly shifted frames
A calling for your name
When there was so much more left to do
You with us and us with you
And we are staring through a looking glass
Searching for answers to why you’ve passed
Wondering if you are looking down on us
Giving us clues - making sense of this
Why did you leave unexpectedly
What did I do to let you do this to me
Drifting away from all you loved
To some far off place way above
Walking the shifting sands
Missing the warmth of your hand
Dogs looping round - seems to catch you there
Feeling something in the air
Hearing you loud and clear
It seems as if you’re near
I turn around and hope to see you
Living in wild expectation
And we are staring through a looking glass
Searching for answers to where you’ve passed
Wondering if you are looking down on us
Giving us clues - making sense of this
Why did you leave unexpectedly
What did I do to let you do this to me
Floating away from all you loved
To some far off place way above
This is the cruel reality
Somehow its time to let you slide to sea
We had the future in front of us
But someone decided its not enough
Only the good die young
Only the good die young
Only the good die young
We lost the very best of us

Lightworker

You could say that I’m always seeing numbers
Coming down from the universe above
Everyone has a human sign
You have yours and I have mine
Its the way and its been like this for years
222 comes through
And its about you
Overwhelmed and struggling with life
333 tells me that I got to be
Leaning into positivity
Theres a plan theres a path then life is over
Theres a time theres a space to make you feel
444 brings more and it open doors
This is where we’re truly meant to be
555 brings change
And it take my reins
Steering me the way I need to be
You can tell Im not like anyone
I feel too much and come undone
And I have to hide when it gets too much
I’m craving for your human touch
I’ve a heart of gold but a firey side
These numbers are my guiding lights
The closest thing I’ll share with you
Are angel numbers giving their clues
You could say that my job is never ending
Lightworker - angel - human being
888 brings me back to to a new born state
Seems like luck’s coming back again
999 is the end of a life given
And the start of brand new beginnings

I carry the weight of intrusion
The pressure of days
When demands you had were greater
Than the sum of all my fears
I was a voice of reason
Sensing you were scared
But all of it was unreal
And nothing like you felt
Running free
Running scared
Running wild
Running fast
Running lost
On my own
Running out
Running dry
Running from
All that I fear
Running Far
From your dream
You carried an illusion
A torch - a burning flame
But nothing could awake you
A total mystery
I wish you all the best in your endeavours
Hope you find peace in future days
But sadly now I am out of patience
I’ve done all that I could do..
Running free
Running scared
Running wild
Running fast
Running lost
On my own
Running out
Running dry
Running from
All that I fear
Running Far
From your dream

Steve Rothery band Live in Plovdiv
by Steve Rothery
supported by 7 fans who also own “Lost-In-Translation”
The first official outing of the "what would be" Steve Rothery Band. Riccardo Romano was missing with his keyboard wizardry and no singer at all (later Martin Jakubsky of Stillmarillion). Marillion's catalogue was represented by excerpts of instrumental sections where Steve had his solo spot. This is a milestone in the forming of a great band that later became the spokesman of early Marillion era and of course of Steve's solo material. If you want to hear how it all started you have to get this

Live at WOMAD 1982
by Peter Gabriel
supported by 7 fans who also own “Lost-In-Translation”
Amazing snapshot of one of, if not the earliest PG IV live performances. The album was just being finished when the WOMAD festival happened, and the performance feels fresh. These live arrangements are very cool. I'd be skeptical of any performance without Levin, but Giblin kills it here, and Hammill on backing vocals & guitar is a treat. Sound quality is good, although a bit loud & over-limited. Highly recommended.
