crazy little dream
i do right - oh i been working hard
my one night, out in the candle bar
the man says ‘this ain’t no shangri-la’, yes yes
one drink, and i will take the mike
don’t wanna think, just gonna sing tonight
rock’n’roll, it’s what the people like, yes yes
and here i go whispering in your ear
when you’re a world away from here
as if you know, as if you care
and yet it’s you that i’m regretting
and i’m not forgetting you
you’d hate to see me so paralysed
i know i need help, i should get analysed
the truth hurts, but i can sing no lies, yes yes
crazy little dream of mine
well it’s been years - and feels longer still
no tears - we gotta take our fill
but sad songs will really make you ill, yes yes
just once i wish we’d talk again
the old dance, that old ‘i knew you when’
but this is now, oh, and that was then, yes yes
and here i go whispering in your ear
when you’re a world away from here
as if you know, as if you care
and yet it’s you i’m seranading
your memory fading away
to bring me back to the candle bar
i know i need help, i know i go too far
this easy gig, why do i find it hard? yes yes
crazy little dream of mine
