I've got a pocket
full of holes
head in the clouds
the king of fools
you've got a ribbon of rainbows
the sun in your eyes
burning through
could be I'm happy and sad
could be I'm losing my head
over you
well, you've gotta be crazy, baby
to want a guy like me
yeah, you've gotta be out of your mind
crazy
So if I'm dreaming
don't wake me tonight
if this is all wrong
I don't want it right
'cause you're the one sure thing
when I get lost in the game
once again
hey, I'm a lucky guy
without a reason and I
don't understand
well, you've gotta be crazy, baby
to want a guy like me
yeah, you've gotta be out of your mind
crazy
Well, there must be some kind of mistake
to give your heart away
yeah, you've gotta be out of your mind
crazy
I've got a pocket
full of holes
head in the clouds
the king of fools
you've got a ribbon of rainbows
the sun in your eyes
burning through
could be I'm happy and sad
could be I'm losing my head
over you
well, you've gotta be crazy, baby
to want a guy like me

Not a breakup song tho is it? its like a exraordinary woman has fallen in love with the oddball and the oddballs like wtf?
That freaking happened to me a year ago with a Marilyn Monroe look alike (and fan) friend of mine at college. I was like, "I'm flattered and no disrepect but you're on drugs."

a little cheezy, but i love it anyway. my wifey likes it too.
great song iva davies has such a great voice (so if im dreaming dont wake me tongiht)
"I've got a pocket full of holes head in the clouds the king of fools you've got a ribbon of rainbows the sun in your eyes burning through"
I love Icehouse lyrics! Very pretty...reminds me of the line from "No Promises":
"You're name on a white sheet, pure lace shot with passion"
Iva Davies= genius.
I really like this song, although 'Street Cafe' ftw.
That new She's Out Of My League movie? Yeah, the lyrics are basically similar to that premise.
Yeah,I'm crazy alright. ;) GREAT SONG. :)
I never get tired of this song. It's brilliantly constructed and Iva's voice is gorgeous. It's dramatic and cheezy-- yes-- but it's fabulous because it combines that drama and cheeziness in the just the right way.
I don't know how credible this is..,but, years ago (many years ago), I had a boyfriend that traveled with Icehouse in Australia...he CLAIMS, the song was written about our breakup. I wanted more than he could give, and they used that as a base to the song...wanting the world, and he could only give what he had to offer....I do know in our parting words he claimed, 'life holds no promises' in regards to a 'perfect life'.... of that, he was right....
