Keane - A Bad Dream
Why do I have to fly
over every town up and down the line?
I'll die in the clouds above
and you that I defend, I do not love.
I wake up, it's a bad dream,
No one on my side,
I was fighting
But I just feel too tired
to be fighting,
guess I'm not the fighting kind.
Where will I meet my fate?
Baby I'm a man, I was born to hate.
And when will I meet my end?
In a better time you could be my friend.
I wake up, it's a bad dream,
No one on my side,
I was fighting
But I just feel too tired
to be fighting,
guess I'm not the fighting kind.
Wouldn't mind it
if you were by my side
But you're long gone,
yeah you're long gone now, yeah...
Where do we go?
I don't even know,
My strange old face,
And I'm thinking about those days,
And I'm thinking about those days.
I wake up, it's a bad dream,
No one on my side,
I was fighting
But I just feel too tired
to be fighting,
guess I'm not the fighting kind.
Wouldn't mind it
if you were by my side
But you're long gone,
yeah you're long gone now, yeah...

Take heart....... it will get better.
I also had a lump in my throat over your comment at *River Poets* Sad, very sad.
The London I know so well didn;t have an O2 arena back then!
Hi Maggie,
Thanks dear friend! I truly hope so... XXX
Hi David,
Yeah! Especially since they've rebuilt the old Wembley Stadium too! I went to see countless concerts there in the hot summers!
Hi Donnie!!!
This song is so good! Keane is a wonderful band and a bad dream make me travel haha.
I don't remember but I think this is from that show I had told you haha My thoughts are so lazy today haha...
Abração Irmao!
PS: But definatly is from that show haha.
This is the first time I've heard this. It's beautiful. Thanks so much for sharing, Donnie. I hope you are well and all is going your way.

I don't know the music scene of today...but this is truly beautiful, perhaps I should listen more to the lyrics instead of wincing at the, to me, unmelodic 'music' of today. I'm just an old awing fan fuddy duddy, take no notice.
Hi Leo,
Yeah this is one of my favourite Keane songs! Although they are such a great band that it's very difficult to choose a favourite...
Abração Irmão!
Hi Sandi,
You're welcome! I'm o.k... more or less. Some days I feel fine and other's I feel extremely depressed, but I have to stay strong.
Hugs! X
Hi Moannie,
You know you should try to get some of Keane's songs (they have a lot of stuff on YouTube) as their music is extremely melodic and poetic, and with absolutely beautiful and deep lyrics... it's not the "usual heavy noise" and Tom Chaplin's (the singer) voice is amazing! I'm sure you will love their songs!
Big Hugs! X
Oh, my friend, what an apt song this is. I adore Keane, and it doesn't surprise me that one of their songs fits your current situation.
Things will come 'round to the sun again. They always do!
Peace - D
Hi D,
Thanks so much my Dear Friend!!
Yeah I really love Keane too! they had a concert in Rio de Janeiro last week... if they had come to Brasil at a better time for me I definately would have gone to see them! Now only next time...
Huge Hugs! XXX
There is much sadness in these lyrics.
A mountain to climb for you but many rewards at the top.

Hi CJ,
Thanks! yeah such sad lyrics, so poetic...
I really hope that I reach the top of that mountain very soon! I've had my hiking boots on for so long and my feet and my heart are killing me!
Big Hugs!
