An Idiot Sings
Dreams and Fears: White Town's Musical Journey
Lyrics
I was only dreaming of you
I had a dream about you
There is nothing that I'd rather do
There's nothing else I'd prefer to do
In my daydreams, you are by my side
In my fantasies, you're with me
In my nightmares, this is all a lie
In my nightmares, all of this is untrue
Take me away from here
Take me away from my current situation
Take me away from here
Expressing the desire to be taken away
Help me lose my fears, help me lose my fears
Seeking assistance in overcoming fears
Take me away from here
Yearning to be removed from the present circumstance
Take me away from here
Repetition of the desire to be taken away
Help me lose my fears, help me lose my fears
Reiterating the need for help in overcoming fears
I was only dreaming of you
Reiteration of dreaming about the person
There is nothing that I'd rather do
Reaffirming the preference for thoughts of the person
In my daydreams, you are by my side
Continuation of the fantasy where the person is present
In my nightmares, this is all a lie
Highlighting the contrast in nightmares where everything is false
Take me away from here
Repetition of the plea to be taken away
Take me away from here
Repeated desire to be taken away
Keep me safe from fear
Request for protection from fear
Keep me safe from fear
Continuation of the plea for safety from fear
Hold me in your arms, hold me in your arms
Desire to be held in the person's arms
Let me count on you, let me count on you
Expression of reliance on the person
What will happen when your parents buy a
Rhetorical question about the consequences of parents buying the album
Copy of this album and they
Reference to parents obtaining a copy of the album
Put it on at home and the
Speculation about playing the album at home
Last track is just like- i doubt it
Doubt about the last track of the album
This, err
Uncertain comment on the situation
Unless it's like in a James sleeve
Mention of a James sleeve, implying a specific context
I don't think they're gonna buy it
Skepticism about parents buying the album
Well I look a bit like James yeah kinda
Comparison of the singer's appearance to someone named James
