the great escape

• gelmiş geçmiş en iyi marillion parçalarından biridir... brave albümünden olan parça girişten sonra iki bölümden oluşur... "so tell me more about the love that you rejected... tell me more about the trust you disrespected... i still don't know, why did you hurt the very one... why did you hurt the very one that you should have protected?" sözleri direk olayı bitirir...
  
  parçanın sözlerinin tamamı şöyledir...
  
  heading for the great escape
  heading for the rave
  heading for the permanent holiday
  heading for the winter trip
  heading for the slide
  heading for the dignified walk away
  heading for the open road
  goodbye to all that
  heading for the automatic overload
  standing in the open boat
  standing in the swing
  waiting for the ringing and the bright light
  waiting to be recognised
  quiet applause will do
  they shower you with flowers when they bury you
  you're holding on, you're holding on ...
  
  i. the last of you:
  just when i thought i'd seen the last of you
  you come here scratchin' at my door
  your pain and anger's in the howling dark
  of every corridor i walk
  so tell me more about the love that you rejected
  tell me more about the trust you disrespected
  i still don't know, why did you hurt the very one
  why did you hurt the very one
  that you should have protected?
  
  ii. falling from the moon:
  don't ask me why i'm doing this
  you wouldn't understand
  you're asking the wrong questions
  you couldn't understand
  a bridge is not a high place
  the fifty-second floor
  icarus would know
  a mountain isn't far to fall
  when you've fallen
  when you've fallen from the moon
  there's murder on the street
  i'm ashes on the water now, somewhere far away
  i have fallen, fallen from the moon
