In Another Land Lyrics
In another land where the breeze and the
Trees and flowers were blue
I stood and held your hand
And the grass grew high and the feathers floated by
I stood and held your hand
And nobody else's hand will ever do
Nobody else will do
Then I awoke
Was this some kind of joke?
Much to my surprise
I opened my eyes
We walked across the sand and the sea and
The sky and the castles were blue
I stood and held your hand.
And the spray flew high and the feathers floated by
I stood and held your hand
And nobody else's hand will ever do
Nobody else will do
Then I awoke
Was this some kind of joke?
Much to my surprise
When I opened my eyes
We heard the trumpets blow and the sky
Turned red when I accidently said
That I didn't know how I came to be here
Not fast asleep in bed
I stood and held your hand
And nobody else's hand will ever do
Nobody else's hand
Then I awoke
Was this some kind of joke?
I opened my eyes
Much to my surprise
Trees and flowers were blue
I stood and held your hand
And the grass grew high and the feathers floated by
I stood and held your hand
And nobody else's hand will ever do
Nobody else will do
Then I awoke
Was this some kind of joke?
Much to my surprise
I opened my eyes
The sky and the castles were blue
I stood and held your hand.
And the spray flew high and the feathers floated by
I stood and held your hand
And nobody else's hand will ever do
Nobody else will do
Then I awoke
Was this some kind of joke?
Much to my surprise
When I opened my eyes
Turned red when I accidently said
That I didn't know how I came to be here
Not fast asleep in bed
I stood and held your hand
And nobody else's hand will ever do
Nobody else's hand
Then I awoke
Was this some kind of joke?
I opened my eyes
Much to my surprise

Now this is charming song to listen to
a creepy, Middle ageish Twanged out, and altered song. Also Bill's first song with him singing. I like this song, in a strange way....
i like this song. i love the whole album, their satanic majesties request. it is a great album.
Great album indeed, sadly underrated. This song is, according to Bill Wyman, about "a guy who wakes in a dream from another dream", or something like that.
Wyman's only songwriting credit and lead vocal (not counting "Downtown Suzie" on the compilation album "Metamorphoses") on a Stones album. I always thought it was interesting and charming, just as I think that "Satanic Majesties," while far from perfect, was an underrated album; I don't buy into the view that it was just a ripoff of SPLHC. My big question: Wyman was not a big drug user; a moderate user of cannabis and alcohol (and tobacco) but not into stronger or harder stuff; did he experiment with acid when he was writing this?
