You Made Me Forget My Dreams

Belle And Sebastian

You made me forget my dreams


When I woke up to you sleeping


We had peace for a night at least


But the trouble starts today


This morning you'll say


"I'll see you sometime, maybe" and I


Fall back to uneasy sleep





You made me forget my dreams


I was building a space rocket


With the boy who played bass guitar


With the boy who's wearing flares


He didn't care


He lit the fuse and ran for a mile


The space rocket went up in style


The space rocket went up in style





I'll lend you two hundred quid


For a flight across the ocean


Maybe things will look better there


Because they couldn't be much worse


Than tears and a curse


For men with guns, maturing in age


Will always pay a shitty wage


They'll always pay a shitty wage





You made me forget my dreams


When I woke up to you sleeping


There was blood on the sheets again


And the view outside the window


Of gardens in bloom


Obscured by all the trouble we had


I think I better make a move


I think I better make a move
