Marillion - Three Minute Boy

Marillion
Song: Three Minute Boy
Album: Radiation
Lyrics:
Here today
Gone this afternoon
Another tune
We almost remember
What's the story
Sex and drugs again
Business as usual
The clock's already ticking
La la la la
When he was young
Staring at the TV
He watched the fun
Happen to other people
Now they scream
As they run after him
Like a dream
Like Elvis and the Beatles
A three minute song is all he wrote
He only did it for a joke
They played him on the radio
From Tokyo to Timbuktu
A three minute boy, ain't that somethin?
They named their children after him
The good times rolled beneath his feet
He skipped along the one-way street
She's a pretty girl
She don't know how it started
She made a movie
He almost remembered
She measured up
They moved into a basement
"We're so in love!"
They giggled to the nation
La la la la
Three minute millionaire they said
The numbers rattled round his head
They spun him three times round the globe
She waited patiently at home
And all the pretty girls wanted him
In places that he'd never been
Too much love will do you in
Forgive Forgive Forgive Forgive
Yeah Yeah Ooo
Three minute kid is here again
Surrounded by three minute friends
He found someone to understand
To shock the world and hold his hand
No religion, no restraint
No direction, No complaints
No future and No way out
No time now to think about it
All the moneys gone
He don't know what they spent it on
Girlfriends gone off with the jag
Gone back to her mum and dad
He's curled up on the studio floor
He just can't do it anymore
The flashgun went off without warning
He'll read about it tomorrow morning...
(She's goin' out with someone "new"
In this week at number two
Three minute boy ain't that somethin.)

Love it
This is the song that brought me back to Marillion after breaking up with Fish. The song is sooooo good.

I did not yet know this song when I was in Paris on December 10th, near Hogarth who sang it... like a little for me...
Since then, I bought "Radiation"... and I listen every day to this song, Hogarth's masterful interpretation with his sublime words... and I sing it at the top of my lungs with him.
I LOVE this song a lot a lot a lot…with the one who followed on the CD "Now She'll Never Know”... and anyway all the songs of this wonderful album !!!
Since December 10th... I have become a Woman even happier... more peaceful... more loving of Life whole... brighter still than I was already since I discovered Marillion then Hogarth in his solo concerts.
I realize that I like everything that Hogarth has written and interpreted or not with Marillion... I love the personality of Hogarth, I love his sublime voice that takes me to the stars but I also love the lyrics he wrote... and all the topics he covers... and how he approaches them !!!
Hogarth has the gift of appeasing me, but also to put me in very strong love states !!! I love life... I love Marillion... I love Hogarth !!!

[@icepaw99]

This song was an amazing ending to the concert I saw at Christmas. That memory's going to stay with me forever. The only bad thing was that it was the last song... :( I could have stayed there all night.

This was the closing song the 2nd night in Chicago in June of 2012. What a great song!!!

Finale da brividi. Letteralmente strepitosi i marillion. Questi ci sanno fare un bel po'. Degni eredi dei Genesis.

[@MW3LooksGood]

This was the last song they played at their concert in D.C ... what a way to end it.
