AGP #530 - ''Pink Floyd''
""Thanx A.D." Yep!, Messrs Waters & Gilmore don't seem to be friends anymore :-D"
#1 resource for Cigar Box Guitars, Free Plans, How-To, Parts & More!
THE DREAM
An impossible dream...?
Guitars - Slowpawcaster / C T 1
Amp - Orange / Marshall acoustic
Drums - Roland TD-12 Elm
I CAME ACROSS A PLACE - INSTEAD OF TOWER BLOCKS AND THIEVES,
EVERYWHERE AROUND ME I SAW COTTAGES AND FALLING LEAVES.
FURTHER ON A CROWD OF PEOPLE SMILED AND TURNED TO ME.
I THOUGHT THEY WERE PROTESTERS BUT WERE SINGING THEY WERE FREE.
CHORUS:
IT WAS A DREAM....ONLY A DREAM, BUT WHAT A DREAM.
I WALKED INTO A CITY WHERE NO-ONE THOUGHT IT WAS FUNNY,
TO STAB YOU IN THE BACK AND THEN TO ROLL YOU FOR YOUR MONEY.
A CITY WHERE EVERYONE COULD FREELY COME AND GO,
A CITY WHERE NO-ONE STARVED AND SAFE TO WALK ALONE.
CHORUS
I CAME ACROSS A LANDSCAPE WHERE POLLUTION WAS LONG GONE,
A LANDSCAPE WHERE THE FIELDS AND TREES WENT ON AND ON AND ON AND ON.
A PLACE WHERE WILD ANIMALS WERE FREE TO ROAM THE LAND,
WHERE NO-ONE TRIED TO KILL THEM OR DO ANYTHING UNDERHAND.
CHORUS
I CAME ACROSS A COUNTRY WHERE THE PRIESTS AND POLITICIANS,
ALL CARED ABOUT THEIR PEOPLE AND WERE FREE OF ALL SUSPICION.
A COUNTRY WHERE ENERGY WAS FREE AND NO-ONE DIED OF COLD,
AND PEOPLE VALUED FRIENDSHIP OVER MONEY, JEWELS AND GOLD.
CHORUS.
From new album "Folk of Oak" to be released soon. Words and Music copyright Steve Trowbridge January 2014.
