"Assassing" is the second single from Marillion's second studio album, Fugazi from 1984. The single reached no. 22 on the UK singles charts in May 1984. The 7" single's title track is a heavily edited version of the first track on Fugazi, with a length of 03:39 as opposed to the album version with 07:01. The B-side is the non-album track "Cinderella Search".The lyrics of the song, which feature a narrator-character describing himself as an assassin, appear to concern character assassination.
