Daddy came out the navy and took us away
To his dirty grey home town
And he worked down on a coal mine for National Service
So that he could be around
There was a magical purple in the chrome of the exhaust
Of his Triumph motor bike
And a warmth of oil and metal and the thrill of the hard corner
Holding tight

From the horizon
Came home from the Navy to the mine
From the horizon
To buried alive
Took his dream underground
Buried his treasure in his faraway eyes

Te zien en te horen op 2 februari 2007 tijdens de eerste van 3 concerten op het Marillionweekend in Port Zélande, Ouddorp, Zeeland, NL. Een integrale opvoering van het album ‘This Strange Engine’ uit 1997. En nog veel meer moois om de vingers bij af te likken. Duurt dat nog lang, februari ?
