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
