Dreaming

Blondie

Band's Comments Lyrics
Billy: "This is the cover of the Blondie classic from the late Seventies, with D'Arcy handling most of the vocals. We decided to do this with a breezy hippity-hop vibe, with a little Joy Division thrown in for good measure. Interestingly enough, this song was plagued with all sorts of technical problems that made mixing it a technical nightmare - vocals with electrical noises, drum loops with scratch guitars recorded over them, etc."

Written by Deborah Harry and Chris Stein (Blondie)

When I met you in the restaurant
You could tell I was no debutante
You asked me what's my pleasure
"A movie or a measure"?
I'll have a cup of tea and tell you of my dreaming
Dreaming is free

I don't want to live on charity
Pleasure's real or is it fantasy?
Reel to reel is living rarity
People stop and stare at me
We just walk on by, we just keep on dreaming

Feet feet walking a two mile
Meet meet meet me at the turnstile
I never met him I'll never forget him

Dream dream even for a little while
Dream dream filling up an idle hour
Fade away, radiate

I sit by and watch the river flow
I sit by and watch the traffic go
Imagine something of your very own,
Something you can have and hold
I'd build a road in gold just to have some dreaming
Dreaming is free
