Freudiana

Lead vocal : eric woolfson

Dora, in the middle of the night
Will you wait for me
Till the morning sun shine bright
For it's all a dream
And it's only make believe

Dora, oh it hurts to hear you say
You're all alone
And the pain won't go away
But it's all a dream
And it's only make believe

Listening through the hours of the day
Waiting for the night to end
Thinking, though it's not for me to say
When will i see you again
When will i see you again

Forget the lies they whisper in your ear
And every superstitious word you hear
Dora, though the truth is hard to face
And the fantasy
Is not easy to replace
It's all a dream
And it's only make believe

Oh, i keep thinking
Of the words i shouldn't say
When will i see you again
When will i see you again

And every doubt they whisper in your ear
And all the half-forgotten past you fear
One day will fade away and disappear

Dora, in the middle of the night
Do you wait for me
Where the morning sun shine bright
Is it all a dream
Is it only make believe

Is it all a thread
Of the tangled web you weave
Is it all a dream
Is it only make believe

I was alone in my room feeling sorry for myself.
Call me a prophet of doom, i could think of nothing else.
I found a freudian book gathering dust upon my shelf.
I thought i'll give it a look, would it hurt or would it help?

Freudiana, do you want to be somebody?
Freudiana, do you want to change the world?

I met the wolfman and the ratman, anna-o and little hans.
They were walking on a tightrope, i never thought they had a chance.
And then a hand reached out to hold them just before they tumbled down.
But i was standing in a quicksand and i could not feel the ground.

Freudiana, do you want to be somebody?
Freudiana, do you want to change the world?

I look back and try to find the part of me i don't know.
I won't stop till i see the truth. there's such a long way to go.

I saw a picture of a stranger but i don't understand.
He had a ring around his finger and something burning in his hand.
And i wanted him to teach me and i needed to believe.
But the shadows that he threw me were intended to deceive.

Freudiana, do you want to be somebody?
Freudiana, do you want to change the world?

I was lonely and depressed
Having fled the family home
When i met an old acquaintance
I had only barely known

And i told her over tea
Of my worries and my woes
And a morbid fear of eating beans
In tightly fitting clothes

And she said psychoanalysis was just the thing for me
And she knew a mayfair analyst i really ought to see

So i went round to his rooms
And he saw me right away
Though he asked a sum of money i could ill afford to pay

But i lay down on the couch
By a bowl of flaccid flowers
And i talked and talked and talked and talked
For hours and hours and hours
And he told me tales of oedipus with great authority

And he asked me if my mother
Wore stiletto heels and rubber
And i realised that this poor soul
Was more confused than me

Well the shock was so profound
That i fled into the strand
Where i saw a hare krishna group
And joined in with the band

This was just the life for me
Free of worldly goods and care
And i chanted and i ranted
Round and round trafalgar square

I converted tens of thousands and they joined us then and there

But the bagwan was so jealous
That he called me over zealous
Then he threw me out
When i refused to cut off all my hair

(dr. ruth, dr. ruth, why not write to dr. ruth?)

So i wrote to dr. ruth
And she helpfully proposed
I should join a nudist colony
And throw away my clothes

All that sun upon my flesh
Would set my libido free
And would guarentee much more of it
Whatever 'it' may be

But i don't feel that i was quite equipped for such a life

Fair of skin just like my sisters
Too much sun would give me blisters
So i think i'll turn the whole thing in

And go home to the wife

Suppose i were to tell you that the meaning of dreams
Is not all that it seems and the ultimate truth is a lie.
And you are just a puppet who can dance on a string.
Do you feel anything?
Would you laugh? would you care? would you cry?

But the meaning of life is a mystery, how can anyone disagree?
And the music is a symphony which we play in a minor key.

I am a mirror. i am a mirror. looking at me you see yourself
I am a mirror. i am a mirror. every face is someone else.
Look at me smile and you're the clown. and if i dance you turn around.
Look in my eyes and see your tears until the music disappears.

So if you are confused and don't know which way to go.
You will certainly know. from the moment we're living we die.
And if it's all a crazy game you don't want to play
Tell me what you can say.
It's a joke. it's the truth. it's a lie.

But the meaning of life is a mystery that we don't understand.
And the music is a rhapsody if you're happy the way that you are.

I am a mirror. i am a mirror. looking at me you see yourself
I am a mirror. i am a mirror. every face is someone else.
Look at me smile and you're the clown. and if i dance you turn around.
Look in my eyes and see your tears until the music disappears.

And the meaning of life is a mystery though we live it from day to day.
But the music of live should be harmony so that anyone here can play.

I am a mirror. i am a mirror. looking at me you see yourself
I am a mirror. i am a mirror. every face is someone else.
Look at me smile and you're the clown. and if i dance you turn around.
Look in my eyes and see your tears until the music disappears.

I am the universal mother
The heart of the family
When you are born in your innocent world
You will depend on me
Mine are the arms to rock you
When you're scared of the dark of the night
But soft though the lips of a girl might be
No one can love you better than me

But somewhere in the dark there is a wall of silence
That hides the love away, that hides the love away

I am the universal father
The head of the family
When you imagine a man of the world
He will be just like me
I am the lord and master
My word is the royal decree
I stand by the side of the woman i love
No one can love her better than me

I am the universal son
The pride of the family
I shine like the stars in my mother's eyes
She can believe in me
I am the young pretender
With fire to bring to the fight
But strong as anothers arms may be
No one can love her better than me

But somewhere in the dark there is a wall of silence
And sometimes in the night there is a wall of silence
Don't take the love away, don't take the love away
No one can love you better than me
No one can love you better than me

No one can love you
No one can love you better than me

Lead vocal: the flying pickets

We've come so far
To hear the words
Of hope and consolation
With no star to guide us through the night

Through many realms of fantasy
We wander and we roam
Far away from home

Then all of those
We held so dear
Grew tired of understanding
And we dream through the endless night alone
What sun can light this darkness
And what hand remove this stone

Far away, far away
Like a leaf that the wind has blown
Far away, far away
Far away from home
Far away from home

All that i am
What i've become
Will i ever find my place in the sun

What sun can light this darkness
And what hand remove this stone

Far away, far away
Will i ever find my place in the sun
Far away

I could be happy then
Far away
I'll find jerusalem
Far away from home
Far away from home

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 you on the move
You fear your wife may disapprove
So in the dream you just remove
And take along your home

If i step on a line
Something will happen
There are rats in a jar
Something will happen

And they have such big eyes
And they're shining so bright
All the better to see

And they have such sharp teeth
All the better to eat
And they're looking at me

Tell me what they say
Tell me what can they be
Tell me what does it mean
Tell me what do you see

Fantasia
Nothing is what it seems
Fantasia
A world that's made out of dreams
Fantasia
Nothing is what it seems
Fantasia

Well it's funny you should say that
It's a most peculiar thing
Yes it's funny you should say that

Though i haven't met this man
So he didn't wear a ring
It's so funny you should say that

I told him of a dream
Where i turned into a hat
That was round and made of fur, would he say
Nothing wrong with that
As i sit here in my chair
I can see your growth is spare
And it is my observation
That this caused you much frustration
So you dreamed a consolation
To replace the loss of hair

I'm going to be a mother
I'm going to have a child

There are wolves in the tree
But the tree never grew
There are rats in the jar
But the curse wasn't true

Fantasia
Nothing is what it seems
Fantasia
A world that is made out of dreams
