"Internal Exile" ("A Collection of a Boy's Own Stories") was Fish's second solo album after leaving Marillion in 1988. The album, released 28 October1991, was inspired by the singer's past, his own personal problems and his troubled experiences with his previous record label EMI.

The album's music reflects Fish's indulgence in the vast regions of music that he wanted to explore as a solo artist; most notably Celtic music and folk styles. This ultimately led to the music not having a strong direction that was so apparent on his previous album, "Vigil in a Wilderness of Mirrors". Despite this, the album remains strong with the cracking opener "Shadow Play" followed by the rocking track "Credo" (released on single). The album also has many live classics (including "Credo") such as "Tongues" and "Internal Exile" featuring on a number of Fish's official bootleg recordings.

As on "Vigil", Fish deals with themes important to him. The song "Internal Exile" speaks of his strong national pride and his desire for independence for Scotland. "Credo" is another song dealing with social problems and globalisation, echoing "State of Mind", his first solo single.

The album was produced by Chris Kimsey, and dedicated to Fish's daughter Tara.

A remastered version was released by Roadrunner Records on 26 October1998.
