The Human Family Band - 'Caroline's Dream'

POUR VODKA ADD A COKE
LIGHT A SPLIFF SMOKE A DOPE
DIRTY POTS STAKING UP
ASHTRAYS - CIGARETTE BUTTS
SCREAMING KIDS RUNNING WILD
BILLS TO PAY - IRONING PILES
SKY DULL AND GREY
AS IF IT’S CRAWLED INSIDE HER BRAIN
AND ALL SHE WANTS TO DO IS RUN AWAY AND FALL INTO A
DREAM DREAM DREAM DREAM DREAM

MORNING KIDS AWAKE
NO MILK NO CORNFLAKES
SCHOOL GOD IT’S LATE
DROPS THEM OFF AT THE GATES
WALKING HOME STARTS TO POUR
HEADS A’POUNDING CAN’T TAKE NO MORE
BACK INSIDE A BIG FAT GONG
SHE KNOW IT WON’T BE LONG
BEFORE SHE BREATHES IT IN AND GET SO FAR GONE INSIDE A
DREAM DREAM DREAM

WHERE IT’S SUNNY AND WARM AND THE SKY - WELL THE SKY IS SO BLUE, WHERE IT’S HAZY, LAZY AND SO FAR THE CRAZY SHE KNEW, AS SHE FLOATS THROUGH HER MIND SHE CAN PLAY OUT EACH SCENE, LIKE THEY FELL STRAIGHT OFF A PAGE OF SOME POSH MAGAZINE
THIS IS CAROLINE'S DREAM….

NIGHTIME - TV ON
SAME OLD SAME OLD SONG
HE RANTS ANOTHER ONE
SHE WONDERS HOW IT GOT THIS WRONG
A BRUISE HE’S OFF AND SPLIT
UPSTAIRS BATHES HER LIP
CREEPS PAST THE KIDS LIES ON THE BED
WIDE AWAKE IN A BIG MISTAKE
ALL SHE WANT IS TO FALL AND FADE AWAY INTO A
DREAM DREAM DREAM DREAM

THIS IS CAROLINE’S DREAM
