Over the years Pretty Maids have sold hundreds of thousands of records, but have never broken through in a major way. They have supported such well known acts as Black Sabbath, Deep Purple, Alice Cooper, Saxon, Nazareth and were also featured at the 1987 German version of Monsters of Rock where Metallica headlined along with Deep Purple.
The new 2006 album "Wake Up to the Real World" shows the band back in former glory. Great hard rock/melodic rock with a metal touch to it. The album includes a cover of Deep Purple's classic gem "Perfect Strangers". Pretty Maids is currently signed to Frontiers Records.
Dream On
Pretty Maids Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I was heading for the door thinking
I don't want to know about it
You said you've had enough
Well I guess baby, I'm out of luck now
I don't want to know about it
Hey girl, you took my time
And stole my wine
I don't want to know about it
Smile and cheat on me
Crazy little woman, are you feeling free now
I don't want to know about it
You had me waiting
But you deserted me
Anticipating
Love in the first degree
We rode the storm
We got through heavy weather
Who's gonna be the one
To put the pieces back together
Dream on dream on
Desperation taking over
Dream on dream on all night
Dream on dream on
Got a hard time staying sober
Dream on dream on all night
Dream on
Well I've been running from the heartache
Threw your photographs away
Trying to forget is really not tat easy baby
Can't help going insane
Love is going down the drain
I don't want to know about it
You had me waiting
But you deserted me
Anticipating
Love in the first degree
We rode the storm
We got through heavy weather
Let's put the pieces back
Back together

Line by Line Meaning
Packed my troubles in a suitcase
I gathered all my worries and difficulties in a luggage
I was heading for the door thinking
As I made my way towards the exit, my mind was preoccupied
I don't want to know about it
I have no interest in the subject matter
You said you've had enough
You announced that you could not tolerate the situation any longer
Well I guess baby, I'm out of luck now
I suppose, my dear, I have no fortune or opportunity left
Hey girl, you took my time
Young lady, you consumed my time
Played your tricks
You carried out your deceptions
And stole my wine
And took away my alcoholic beverage
Smile and cheat on me
You smirked and betrayed my trust
Crazy little woman, are you feeling free now
Are you feeling liberated, crazy lady?
You had me waiting
You made me wait
But you deserted me
Yet, you abandoned me
Anticipating
Expecting
Love in the first degree
Passionate affection at its highest level
We rode the storm
Together we endured the difficult situation
We got through heavy weather
We survived the challenging circumstances
Who's gonna be the one
Who will be the person
To put the pieces back together
To reassemble the fragments
Dream on dream on
Keep dreaming
Desperation taking over
Despair is gaining control
Dream on dream on all night
Continue to dream throughout the night
Got a hard time staying sober
It is challenging to remain abstinent
Well I've been running from the heartache
I have been avoiding the emotional pain
Threw your photographs away
I discarded the pictures of you
Trying to forget is really not that easy baby
It is not simple to eradicate the memories, sweetheart
Can't help going insane
Cannot avoid becoming mentally unstable
Love is going down the drain
The love is disappearing/stagnating
Let's put the pieces back
We should reunite the broken elements
Back together
Into one piece again
