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
