My Foolish Dream
U.F.O Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I dream of the ocean, and diving in its depths
With nothing more than a, scuba set
And I'm happy, and I'm content
I dream of spaceships, and floating by Neptune
But by then I'm missing the moon
And I'm happy, and I'm content

In my dreams, I live a false reality
Where everything's worked out for me
And I'm doing fine
But when I wake
They stay inside of my head
In their eternal bed
Where they were meant to be
Forever in my dreams

I dream of a life, where stress was never born
And we've got a world to adore
And I'm happy, and I'm content
I dream of the day, when I'll meet you
And everything will feel brand new
And I'm happy, and I'm content

In my dreams, I live a false reality
Where everything's worked out for me
And I'm doing fine
But when I wake
They stay inside of my head
In their eternal bed




Where they were meant to be
Forever in my dreams

Great memories down at the Talking Loud nights at the fridge and Barumba. Video brings back memories and I think at one stage I had it on VHS. Can't believe it's been 30 years. Good times
