Agnes Strange "Theme For A Dream"

(lyrics self-transcribed)

*From album: "Theme For A Dream"

**1974- recorded, 2000- released

With my mind shut tight I'm letting 

My subconscious show the way

As it journey should the past, present and future 

Not single night and day

As we drift through strange tranquillity

I wonder what sights we'll see

Motionless I stand as I reconcile myself

With a theme for a dream

As we drift through the past I'll see things 

That my mind had long since lost

I'm reminded that the time I first discovered

There's more to the world than me

I see pictures of myself enjoying 

The well life used to be

Motionless I stand as I reconcile myself

With a theme for a dream

With my mind shut tight I'm letting 

My subconscious show the way

As it journey should the past, present and future 

Not single night and day

As we drift through strange tranquillity

I wonder what sights we'll see

Motionless I stand as I reconcile myself

With a theme for a dream

Agnes Strange "Book With No Cover"

(lyrics found and modified)

*From album: "Theme For A Dream"

**1974- recorded, 2000- released

Walking down the street

On a Sunday day

Things are really great

When it’s going my way

Then you said you love me

But you told me a lie 

But just another

And you love me too

Well, your life is just like 

A book with no cover

With pages flicking by

One after another

[You told me that you love me

Well, that was a lie

Made me feel bad

Made me wanna cry

Spend all my money

Without any time

It’s another game

With the same old lies

But one day

Your turn will come

Mark my words

You’ll see

One day soon 

Your turn will come

You’ll feel the misery] 2x

Agnes Strange "Messin' Around"

(lyrics self-transcribed)

*From album: "Theme For A Dream"

**1974- recorded, 2000- released

You better settle down 

Quit your messin' around 

Keep your feet on the ground 

Stop your foolin' around 

You know 

You better quit your messin’

Around

Agnes Strange "Graveyard"

(lyrics self-transcribed)

*From album: "Theme For A Dream"

**1974- recorded, 2000- released

[Till it'll be late

Burnt at the dawn

The dawn is breaking

Both eyes seeking the sun

Everything's still

Burnt if it's still

The streets are red with blood

And talk me now my friends] 2x

Agnes Strange "The Day Dreamer"

(lyrics self-transcribed)

*From album: "Theme For A Dream"

**1974- recorded, 2000- released

Walking through the streets of the city 

In the night and day

See the people buzzing around

Each coming a way

I'm on the outside looking in

And in a clean sea

Am I the one that's watching them

Or are they watching me? 

[I'm the day] 3x 

Dreamer

[I'm the day] 3x 

Dreamer

Good them hold and shut down

I'm in aim for a week

Hardly ever listen 

Never seem to speak 

Life seems to me 

Like a giant maze 

With people running round and round 

In the different ways 

[I'm the day] 3x 

Dreamer

[I'm the day] 3x 

Dreamer

You know I look at everything 

In the different ways

It might not feel right

But I get by ok

I never let things 

Ever get me down

Cause my feet, you know

Are never on the ground

[I'm the day] 3x 

Dreamer

[I'm the day] 3x 

Dreamer

Agnes Strange "Failure" (demo)

(lyrics found and modified)

*From album: "Theme For A Dream"

**1974- recorded, 2000- released

Trying so hard

I'm trying so hard

Each time I fail

It's the same

Same old tale

[It's taken my lifetime

To give me the good times

Of waiting for my time

I know I just can't go no more] 2x

I've tried so hard

But it's always the same

I've tried so hard

I guess god trains my game

I've tried so hard

Never reaching the end

I've tried so hard

I guess god trains by brand

[I've tried so hard] 3x

Trying so hard

I'm trying so hard

Each time I fail

It's the same

Same old tail

Agnes Strange "Clever Fool" (demo)

(lyrics found and modified)

*From album: "Theme For A Dream"

**1974- recorded, 2000- released

[I ain't nothing special

I'm just a clever fool] 2x

I ain't got education

Never been to school

Can't even read or write so well

I don't know the rules 

[Well, I ain't got a business brain 

I'm getting there just the same] 2x

Without no bread I won't go far 

I don't need no fancy car 

I take people as they are 

Will they do the same

[I ain't nothing special

I'm just a clever fool] 2x

I ain't got education

Never been to school

Can't even read or write so well

I don't know the rules
