Julian Cope lyrics : "Autogeddon Blues"

I had a dream in the middle of the day
And now my waking dream won't go away
I watched the city swallow everywhere

Only shantytowns of despair
And these things I saw;
Roadculture at the end of the line

Citydwelling at the end of the line
Mother$#&@ing at the end of the line
These things I saw and these things are fine

I had a dream in the middle of the day
And my waking dream won't go away
Motorway services were the new cities

The poisonous air had wrecked our homes
Gasoline rivers burning up the seas
And I saw my people down on their knees

I had a dream in the middle of the day
And now my waking dream won't go away
So I left the city just to breathe some air

Just to keep my old brain from busting
Yeah, I left the city just to breathe some air
But out here in the fields

You know they're still just fields
Still fences and signs screaming:
"Keep off my land

No Trespass - By Order"
By drunken disorder more likely, old prick
Your drunken development's making me sick

Your drunken development's making me yawn
I %#@! on your reason
Your rose is my thorn

I had a dream in the middle of the day
And now my waking dream won't go away
So I walk walk walk right over that land

Yes I walk and I keep on walking
I grab a rock from the ground, yeah
This is no game

Decide, I'll let my rock do the talking
Til' a man drives up in a 4 by 4
Up to me all alone on this lonely moor

And my rock says "hello" to his gaping jaw
And my rock says "bye-bye" to his bleeding head
Well, I never saw a dead man but he looked dead

I had a dream in the middle of the day
And my waking dream won't go away
And they wonder why a man behave like this

Behave like he wants to feel the land is his
But I heard Mama crying in my deepest dreams
Mama told me to do it

This is not what it seems
There are more of us a-comin'
There are more like me

Messed up - messed up with nothing to lose
It's a barbed wire fence
Which side do you choose?

And I can't shake the feeling this has happened before
My nightmare returning
In Autogeddon we're burning

And I can't shake the feeling this has happened before
My nightmare returning
In Autogeddon we're burning
