You Made Me Forget My Dreams
Belle & Sebastian
Push Barman to Open Old Wounds (2005)

You made me forget my dreams

When I woke up to you sleeping

We had peace for a night at least



But the trouble starts today

This morning you'll say

"I'll see you sometime, maybe" and I

Fall back to uneasy sleep



You made me forget my dreams

I was building a space rocket

With the boy who played bass guitar

With the boy who's wearing flares



He didn't care

He lit the fuse and ran for a mile

The space rocket went up in style



I'll lend you two hundred quid

For a flight across the ocean

Maybe things will look better there

Because they couldn't seem much worse



Than tears and a curse

For men with guns, maturing in age

Will always pay a shitty wage

They'll always pay a shitty wage



You made me forget my dreams

When I woke up to you sleeping

There was blood on the sheets again

And the view outside the window



Of gardens in bloom

Obscured by all the trouble we had

I think I better make a move, I think I better make a move

I think I better make a move, I think I better make a move
