Dreams Of Children Lyrics
I sat alone with the dreams of children
Weeping willows and tall dark building
I’ve caught a fashion from the dreams of children
But woke up sweating from this modern nightmare, and
I was alone, no one was there
I caught a glimpse from the dreams of children
I got a feeling of optimism
But woke up to a grey and lonely picture
The streets below left me feeling dirty, and
I was alone, no one was there
I was alone, no one was there
Something’s going to crack on your dreams tonight
You will crack on your dreams tonight
I fell in love with the dreams of children
I saw a vision of all the happy days
I’ve caught a fashion from the dreams of children
But woke up sweating from this modern nightmare, and
I was alone, no one was there
I was alone, no one was there
Something’s going to crack on your dreams tonight
You will crack on your dreams tonight
You will choke on your dreams tonight
Weeping willows and tall dark building
I’ve caught a fashion from the dreams of children
But woke up sweating from this modern nightmare, and
I was alone, no one was there
I got a feeling of optimism
But woke up to a grey and lonely picture
The streets below left me feeling dirty, and
I was alone, no one was there
You will crack on your dreams tonight
I saw a vision of all the happy days
I’ve caught a fashion from the dreams of children
But woke up sweating from this modern nightmare, and
I was alone, no one was there
You will crack on your dreams tonight
You will choke on your dreams tonight

waaaaa? no ones commented on this song? its brilliant! lyrical genious! and not a single comment?? oh well i start it off then. this song i think is about how he escapes from a bleak world this is through his dreams
I relate to it in that we all have dreams, some of them can be rediculously childlike ina away, but then it's always far better then the grim reality when you wake up in the morning.
But I think he's mainly lamenting the loss of childhood innocence too.
It's really about how many young people are having their dreams crushed by the establishment at the time. In the 1960's, there was an attitude of "The sky's the limit" and "if you do well in school, you'll have a job in life." Well, that attitude left out one important factor: you also need to know the right people and be in their good graces Not having that will crush a child's dream. In addition, one could argue that he's saying the events of the time really are having a profound effect on children, causing them to become very cynical and bitter at a young age.
