the jam
dream time
Streets I ran - this whole town - Backstreets and all - I wanted to leave there. But no matter how fast I ran, my feet were glued, I just couldn't move there. I saw the hate and lots of people I heard my name called above the noise I tried to speak but my tongue was tied Bumped into emptiness and started to cry - oh no I saw the lights and the pretty girls And I thought to myself what a pretty world, But there's something else here that puts me off. And I'm so scared dear, my love comes in frozen packs, Bought in a supermarket. Streets I ran, through wind and rain, Around this place amongst streaming sunshine. Scared I was, sweating now. Feeling of doom, my bowels turned to water. I felt hot breath whisper in my ear, I looked for somewhere to hide but everywhere's closed. I shut my eyes pretend not to be here, This feeling's much to real to ever disappear - oh no. I saw the lights and the pretty girls And I thought to myself what a pretty world, But there's something else here that puts me off. And I'm so scared dear, their hate comes in frozen packs, Bought in a supermarket. And I'm so scared dear -.
