Well I bit the bullet and bought misplaced childhood and i must say that it was worth every penny. A great piece of prog music with some of the best on paper lyrics i have ever seen. Ill definetly buy some more Marillion.

Yeah - Cinderella Search is brilliant; beats me why it didn't make it onto Fugazi rather than She Chameleon.
