Marillion

Marillion are a “progressive-rock”

band, formed in Aylesbury,

Buckinghamshire, England, in 1979.

The songs Kayleigh and Lavender are both taken from their third album, “Misplaced

Childhood”, which was recorded in 1985.

In 1988 Fish, their original singer (Dereck William Dick, born in Scotland) and lyrics

writer left the band, to be replaced by Steve Hogarth.

“By 1987 we were over-playing live

because the manager was on

20 per cent of the gross. He was

making a fantastic amount of money

while we were working our asses

off!”

“Then I found a bit of paper proposing an American tour. At the end of the

day the band would have

needed a £14,000 loan from EMI as

tour support to do it”.

“That was when I knew that, if I

stayed with the band, I'd probably end up a raging alcoholic and be found overdosed and dying in a big

house in Oxford with Irish wolfhounds at the bottom of my

bed”.

Fish gave the band a choice to continue

with either him or the manager. The band sided with

the manager and Fish left

for a solo career.

Lavender's Blue is an English folk song and nursery rhyme, dating to the 17th century, which has been recorded in various forms since the 20th century.

Although there are as many as thirty verses to the song, and many variations of each verse, most modern versions take this form:

Lavender's blue, dilly, dilly, lavender's green,When I am king, dilly, dilly, You shall be queen.Who told you so, dilly, dilly, who told you so?'Twas my own heart, dilly, dilly, that told me so.Call up your men, dilly, dilly, set them to workSome to the plough, dilly, dilly, some to the fork,Some to make hay, dilly, dilly, some to cut corn,While you and I, dilly, dilly, keep ourselves warm.Lavender's green, dilly, dilly, Lavender's blue,If you love me, dilly, dilly, I will love you.Let the birds sing, dilly, dilly, And the lambs play;We shall be safe, dilly, dilly, out of harm's way.I love to dance, dilly, dilly, I love to sing;When I am queen, dilly, dilly, You'll be my king.Who told me so, dilly, dilly, Who told me so?I told myself, dilly, dilly, I told me so.
