Flying Dream 143 Lyrics
I stretched out my arms
And my feet left the floor
And how all fifteen (ahem) stone flew to you
I don’t know
awsome song! I wish i knew what it meant, because i i'm baffled. probably he litterally was talking about a funny dream he had...
Yes, he dreamt he flies over the atlantic and wondered how someone weighting 15 stone could fly unaided...
btw...I even met him in a flying dream...giggle
Guy Garvey is brilliant, and I think this is one of the more underrated elbow songs. I don't think the number 143 is random at all, as for a while anyway, 143 meant "I love you" as there are 1, 4, and 3 letters in the words, respectively.
The words of course don't say everything. The way Guy delivers the lyrics and the music supporting him really pictures this blissful picture of GG, all 15 stone (210 lbs, 95 kgs) magically flying through his sleep to the one person he wants to be with. Brilliant.
