The interpretation of dreams

Lead Vocal: The Flying Pickets

Well it's funny you should say that

It's a most peculiar thing

Yes it's funny you should say that

I was talking to a man

And I saw he wore a ring

Yes it's funny you should say that

And I told him of a dream

Where I caught and ate a whale

Then I woke up feeling hungry, he said

Thats a curious tale

For a dream contains a wish

In this case a giant fish

As the pressure you were under

Might have woken you from slumber

To relieve the pangs of hunger

You just dreamed yourself a dish

Well it's funny you should say that

It's a most peculiar thing

Yes it's funny you should say that

For I also met a man

And he also wore a ring

Yes it's funny you should say that

And I told him of a dream

Where the sun was at its height

But my toes were blocks of ice, he said

Let me get this right

You are tall and so your feet

Must protrude beyond the sheet

While you sleep they're unprotected

And it's just as I suspected

You were trying to dream some heat

But there are six white wolves

In the dead of the night

On the branch of a tree

And they have such big eyes

And they're shining so bright

All the better to see

And they have such big ears

All the better to hear

And they're listening to me

And they have such sharp teeth

All the better to eat

And they're looking at me

Well it's funny you should say that

It's a most peculiar thing

Yes it's funny you should say that

I was speaking to a man

But I don't recall a ring

Yes it's funny you should say that

And I told him of a dream

Where I turned into a snail

and he said it is simplicity

To follow such a trail

For this creature takes his shell

Anywhere that he may roam

But work must keep
