All a Dream (2018 Remastered Version)

I was only dreaming, now my mama's woke me up

And called me down to eat the cornflakes and the boiled eggs

And neatly crafted soldiers

I am only seven years of age again, and everything is cool

I am breathing in the purest air

My lungs are clean, my head is clear

My blood is running round my body to the tune of life

I have got a second chance to live it like I wanted to

Oh, where has it gone?

I had a life worth living, but what did I spend it on?

Oh, where have I been?

I spent the last ten years trying to get myself straight and clean

Mama's cleaned my shoes, she's licked my hair

She's dropped me off at school

I run and jump and kick a ball

And chase the girls around and round in circles

I have never opened up the door onto the other side

I could be a doctor or an astronaut if I am told

A journalist, a scientist

The man who finds a cure for every illness

I will never be the way I was when I was in the dream

Oh, where has it gone?

I had a life worth living, but what did I spend it on?

Oh, where have I been?

I spent the last ten years trying to get myself straight and clean

Oh, where has it gone?

I had a life worth living, but what did I spend it on?

Oh, where have I been?

I spent the last ten years, last ten years

Trying to get myself, get myself, get myself straight and clean
