Of course she did. It reminds me of my old joke: Q: "Why did God give men brains that are a little larger than women's?" A: "He needed a place to fit a conscience." . . . My friend.
For a time I thought the line was "Unleash a stranger from a cliff" rather than a kiss. I wish I were right. But what a song regardless. Prog lightly constrained by a pop format is maybe the best prog of all.
"Pavlovian en-slaver at the cash-till ring of success". It's a word play on the work of the psychologist Pavlov who conditioned dogs to salivate at the sound of a bell using food reward. Not including 'ring' makes the quote meaningless.
I ❤ this song! It seems like Peter Gabriel is singing. As I heard the song at the first time I thought it was from him. It's Fish! I also like the Video
Your on Peachy. My Friend. The Final scene of the film. " Get Carter.". With Michael Caine. I remember you in your suit of flames Fish. I think you knew. Michael.🖤.
Fish can only be Fish though. A giant of a man with a little more than Something. ❤This song Assassing has so many different meanings for me and he eloquently acts this out. What a performer...
HELEN GRANTHAM I once met a person named Grantham who was a mindless, stereotyping, ignorant prick. But did that make me hate all people named Grantham? Well, yes. But eventually I got over it.
Hot women like her are always ten-a-penny at model agencies. It would be quite funny though if the highlight of her career was appearing in a music video for a number 22 hit from 1984 by Marillion, wouldn't it?
LOL of course ... as if the video director didn't made this close shot likely on purpose ps: you didn't ask Peter and Steve who ? that means you know exactly who I am talking about ... double LOL
OK how do I say this without sounding like a dick? I grew up listening to Genesis, Pink Floyd, King Crimson, Camel, ELP, Rush, and witnessed prog rock being destroyed by punk and new wave. Then I watched this video claiming that Marillion was the new age saviors of prog. Sorry but prog is not pop synthesizer music. I was told that "Grendel" was the new "Suppers Ready". I did not hear it. Fish totally sounds like Gabriel but that is about as close as this band comes to Genesis.
It was usually commented that he sang like Peter Gabriel, so Gabriel must sing like a frog too. But in answer to your question, he got his nickname because he used to spend a lot of time in the bath before he joined the band. And his real name was Derek Dick, so by his own admission he desperately needed a nickname.
@@TheAlistairDick He sounded more like Phil Collins on some songs and more like Gabriel on others in my opinion, but he was usually compared to Gabriel by critics, both vocally and for his performance style. The music journalist David Hepworth described his voice as a "conflation of Roger Daltrey and Peter Gabriel". Peter Hammill of Van De Graf Generator was also a big influence on him.
who gives a crap,hes a lyrical genius and its music most people with half a brain cell would agree!its a far cry from the verble bull we try to call music nowadays!most of them cant sing at all without the proper equipment to help them,not forgetting the mime artists that cheat there way to success!which in my eyes is pathetic!
40 years old in 2024. I bought this in 1984 when 16. Wow that went quick.
I was 15 when I bought the album after I saw them live at Pinkpop in The Netherlands. Remember it like yesterday. So I confirm.
Dude, I was not even born for next 9 Yeats.
My first wife hated this song, happy days 👍
Of course she did. It reminds me of my old joke: Q: "Why did God give men brains that are a little larger than women's?" A: "He needed a place to fit a conscience." . . . My friend.
Fish has a way with words: "Unsheath the blade within the voice" is a real killer phrase
For a time I thought the line was "Unleash a stranger from a cliff" rather than a kiss. I wish I were right. But what a song regardless. Prog lightly constrained by a pop format is maybe the best prog of all.
Glasgow Apollo Feb 1984 opening song and it blew the roof off the place. Superb track.
NO OTHER LYRICIST CAN COME CLOSE TO THE DEPTH OF THE WRITING
THE ALL SINGING ,DANCING FISH
SPOUTS. OUT
..A MAN WITH A GIFT FOR WORDS.
Recorded this off the top 40 in May 1984. Love Marillion. Kayleigh touched my heart in 1985.
"The cash till of success" is an unforgettable lyric. Super song. Great band.
"Pavlovian en-slaver at the cash-till ring of success".
It's a word play on the work of the psychologist Pavlov who conditioned dogs to salivate at the sound of a bell using food reward. Not including 'ring' makes the quote meaningless.
Well, *you* seem to have forgotten it, because it's "The cash till *ring* of success".
This is about their former drummer Mick Pointer and how Fish felt about having to sack him from the band.
Not just that , it was about all the other drummers that were in the band until Ian Moseley joined.
I always thought that too but on the recentish Fugazi BluRay it's about Diz Minnitt one of the old band members
I never realized these guys were still going until I googled them on a whim the other day. Loved these guys as a teenager
1979 oldie fan here... Remember Silmarillion ?
2:31 Fish is exemplary and the poetry and use of words for the lyrics...
Yes...traslate this.when you dont speak well in english...😭...God....what did he mean?
For me one of the best band ...
Still sounds great after all this time. Simply excellent! Fish does get a lot of credit and he is worthy but the entire band are great.
Proud to know this song since 2011 (I'm 21)
"You were a fashionable objector with a uniform fetish, Pavlovian slaver at the cash till ring of success"
Wtf? That's deep.
This man was deep af.
@@gymnassfan He still is. Just a little . . . balder. (Baldur?)
Only 1 word: M.I.N.C.H.I.A!!!!😍😍😍
Still gives me goosebumps after all these years!
I ❤ this song! It seems like Peter Gabriel is singing. As I heard the song at the first time I thought it was from him. It's Fish! I also like the Video
Fish est un grand artiste ...!!
This is rad!
Zyc i kochac i ponad ograniczenia byc .Poniewaz milosc nie miesci sie w ramach dobra i zla.
Dokładnie tak
So many years since I heard this.
Best of the best of Marillion with Fish.
Who gouged the notches from the family tree, Some great lines in this song
Progressive rock at his best
Best on the world. ❤
After what She went through at their hands.🖤.
I believe we could be friends.
👑👑(👑).
Я люблю Рыбу!
Это самый лучший парень!
Fish - I love you!
You are beautifull!
Best of the best ever.
Unsheaf the blade within the voice❤
A wonderful piece. Still impressive.

Your on Peachy. My Friend.
The Final scene of the film.
" Get Carter.". With Michael Caine.
I remember you in your suit of flames Fish. I think you knew. Michael.🖤.
While typically compared to Peter Gabriel, I'm getting a lot of Geoff Tate vibes in this song.
Fish can only be Fish though. A giant of a man with a little more than Something. ❤This song Assassing has so many different meanings for me and he eloquently acts this out. What a performer...
Brilliant song, but have to think the video even for the time could have been better.
Yeah !!!
My Friend !
INQUISTE Nice Genesis rip off!
HELEN GRANTHAM Are you on zoloft? Now please go back to your smelly bedroom and leave the rest of the You Tube community alone,
Smelly ? . Have you sniffed your own nickers lately or do you get off on that stuff . ?
Away .
Hi, you bigoted, narrow minded, typical male son of a bitch. I thought Americans were smart. You shame your nation, your people, and your family.

Wha?
I wonder what's the name of the model used in the video
Hot women like her are always ten-a-penny at model agencies. It would be quite funny though if the highlight of her career was appearing in a music video for a number 22 hit from 1984 by Marillion, wouldn't it?
Don't know about you, but definitely a bigger highlight than anything in my career
0:48 Peter on vocals ... and Steve on drums ?!?
Lol no it's a young Ian Mosley on drums and Fish on vocals
LOL of course ... as if the video director didn't made this close shot likely on purpose
ps: you didn't ask Peter and Steve who ? that means you know exactly who I am talking about ... double LOL
Well, Peter Trewavas and Steve Rothery
This drummer used to play for Steve Hackett's solo band before he joined Marillion.
Derek on Vocals and Ian on Drums
ja coole zeit live in Berlin weissensee
That lead singer was named after an animal...what was it I can't remember
jeremy western Fish
Maxi yes I know he was named after a fish but which one? Wasn't he called Bass or something?
Fish, just Fish.
Maxi I KNOW it was a fish but which one? Salmon? Trout? I can't remember
Fish.
destroyed audio by GUILLERMO SOTO.
"remastered audio" my ass!
Well it is very old lol. Was this the first Marillion song you heard Ovidjus?
@@johnnyenglish9622 Nope, I think it was Kayleigh or other song from Misplaced Childhood album.
@@montimer44 Are you a big fan? The first Marillion song I ever heard was "He Knows You Know" on the radio. Happy 2021 pal.
Nunk vino fish argentina
I love Fish...but what's up with that blouse he's wearing? :P
He's Scottish. All Scotsmen wear smashing blouses and pretty skirts.
"I love Rush... but what's up with those kimono's they're wearing? :p"
First time I've seen this, after all these years...Meh.
Yeah. Album version is where it's at. This cuts out too much, and the video doesn't work for me.
OK how do I say this without sounding like a dick? I grew up listening to Genesis, Pink Floyd, King Crimson, Camel, ELP, Rush, and witnessed prog rock being destroyed by punk and new wave.
