Songfacts®:

  • Marillion lead singer Steve Hogarth wrote the lyric, which he told Songfacts is "inspired as a statement of thanks to people you haven't even met."

    "In that sense, it was aimed at our own fans," he said. "We're indebted to our fans. I mean, we're probably the band who knows most of our fans! I recognize probably 30 percent of them if they pass me on the street, because I'm so used to seeing them over the years."
  • Making "thank you" one word in the title wasn't done for any particular purpose. Sly & the Family Stone is another act that had some fun with their "thank you" song, rendering it "Thank You (Falettinme Be Mice Elf Agin)."
