Artist/Band: Marillion
Lyrics for Song: An Accidental Man
Lyrics for Album: This Strange Engine [1997]



Lyrics: Helmer/Hogarth

Music: Hogarth/Kelly/Mosley/Rothery/Trewavas



I was taught from much too young

To never give myself away

Yes I was taught for every secret

There's a price you have to pay

An accident of gender

An accident of birth

That holds me to this point of view

This time and place on earth

This time and place on earth



You ask me how I'm feeling

I only wish you knew

How hard it is for me to share

Share those kind of things with you



It's not that I don't love you

It's just I can't connect

'Cause I was taught from much too young

To shine and not reflect



I'm an accidental man



You ask me if I'm happy

I only wish I knew

'Cause happiness is not something

That I ever learned to do



It's not that I'm complaining

It's all the same to me

If everything that happens, happens accidentally



I'm an accidental man



I was taught for every secret

There's a price you have to pay

I was taught from much too young

To never give myself away

I was born to worthy causes

I was born to take the reins

I was taught from much too young

To never give myself away



An accident of gender

An accident of birth

That holds me to this point of view

This time and place on earth

So try and understand

If I don't say all I can

A stranger to myself I am

An accidental man

I'm an accident

I'm an accidental man
