King of 17 (Recorded live in Oxford, UK, June 2008)
lyrics
Your momma and daddy can't take care of themselves
So I'm gonna look after of you
Your daddy loves liquor and your momma needs help
Cause all of her nightmares came true
I got this car when my granddaddy passed
So meet me just after last bell
I 've got twenty dollars it'll get us some gas
We won't get to far and we won't get there fast
But it's twenty dollars further from hell
Leave it to me cause I'm 17
Leave it to me we'll get through
If' you'll be my queen then I'll play a king
I'll always look after you
Just leave it to me
I am a king at 17
Leave it to me...
I am the King of 17
We head to the east to catch up to the sun
You smile as you watch it rise
We come from nothing, we leave nothing behind
my world is the hope in your eyes
Leave it to me cause I'm 17
Leave it to me we'll get through
If' you'll be my queen then I'll play a king
I'll always take care of you
Just leave it to me
I am a king at 17
Leave it to me...
I am the King of 17

In my opinion this is Porcupine Tree at their absolute peak. Not only does this release have a stellar track list, it also contains some of the best versions of each song available anywhere. The Sky Moves Sideways is exemplary - a wonderful performance that builds and builds and is worth the price of admission on its own.
The recording is is of the highest quality and should be in everyone’s collection.

The first official outing of the "what would be" Steve Rothery Band. Riccardo Romano was missing with his keyboard wizardry and no singer at all (later Martin Jakubsky of Stillmarillion). Marillion's catalogue was represented by excerpts of instrumental sections where Steve had his solo spot. This is a milestone in the forming of a great band that later became the spokesman of early Marillion era and of course of Steve's solo material.
