Wildest Dreams

1st September 2003

Album

I'm gonna organise some changes in my life
I'm going to exorcise the demons of my past
I'm gonna take the car and hit the open road
I'm feeling ready to just open up and go

And I just feel that I can be anything
That I might ever wish to be
And fantasize just what I want to be
Make my wildest dreams come true

I'm on my way, out on my own again
I'm on my way, out on the road again

When I remember back to how that things just used to be
And I was stuck inside a shroud of misery
I felt I disappeared so deep inside myself
I couldn´t find a way to break away the hell

When I'm feeling down and low
I vow I'll never be the same again
I just remember what I am
And visualise just what I'm gonna be

I'm on my way, out on my own again
I'm on my way, I'm gonna break away

(2:15 – Solo: Adrian Smith)

I'm gonna break away
I'm out on my own
I'm out on my own
Gonna break away
Break it away

I'm on my way, out on my own again
I'm on my way, out on the road again

I'm on my way, out on my own again
I'm on my way, out on the road again

I'm on my way, out on my own again
I'm on my way, I'm gonna break away

I don't care
They're crazy
Said pass the jam, would you
Awfully kind of you
Now wouldn't it be a little bit nice to sing with this

Gazing at the open door
Just what lays behind
Thinking what I'm looking for
Say what's on my mind

Sinking ever deeper
In the words of guilt of shame
And now I can redeem myself
I just don't care

The words I'm singing they're just right
That's better for my brain
If I try to make much sense
You know I'll go insane

I just don't care
I just don't care

Caesar had some jam with tea
But Brutus wasn't kind
Wasn't strawberries that were red
He wasn't cutting bread

You pass the jam
And so he slammed the tea
The only bugger here to me
Is in the conservatory

Yeah, alright
Yes, but still over there
Sinking ever deeper
In the words of guilt and shame
I can't redeem myself
I just don't care

Staring at the silver spoon
Take it from your mouth
Take it from the jam jar
Turn and face the South

Now face the North
And the East
And the West
And the setting sun

Still burning on in the night
Where's the sun at midnight
Say it's gone

Where's the moon at dawn
It carries on
And on
It never ends

To the land of nevermore
Where time began
Where the man still stands

And the edge, at the end
Never know that I sang
You'll all know it's the right place
In time, well it is

The words I'm singing
That's just right
They're better for my brain
If I try to make much sense
You know I'll go insane

Pass the jam
Pass the jam
Pass the fuckin' jam
Please

Next up I'll scream
I will
<he screams>
I warned you
I'm going home now

<Nicko: Oh my goodness, that must be the first jam we've had in years!>

I say pass the jam, would you <repeat like a scratched record>

And if you're taking a walk through the garden of life
What do you think you'd expect you would see?
Just like a mirror reflecting the moves of your life
And in the river reflections of me

Just for a second a glimpse of my father I see
And in a movement he beckons to me
And in a moment the memories are all that remain
And all the wounds are reopening again

We're blood brothers, we're blood brothers
We're blood brothers, we're blood brothers

And as you look all around at the world in dismay
What do you see, do you think we have learned
Not if you're taking a look at the war-torn affray
Out in the streets where the babies are burned

We're blood brothers, we're blood brothers
We're blood brothers, we're blood brothers

There are times when I feel I'm afraid for the world
There are times I'm ashamed of us all
When you're floating on all the emotion you feel
And reflecting the good and the bad

Will we ever know what the answer to life really is?
Can you really tell me what life is?
Maybe all the things that you know that are precious to you
Could be swept away by fate's own hand

We're blood brothers, we're blood brothers
We're blood brothers, we're blood brothers

(3:11 – Solo: Dave Murray)

When you think that we've used all our chances
And the chance to make everything right
Keep on making the same old mistakes
Makes untipping the balance so easy
When we're living our lives on the edge
Say a prayer on the book of the dead

(5:43 – Solo: Janick Gers)

We're blood brothers, we're blood brothers
We're blood brothers, we're blood brothers

And if you're taking a walk through the garden of life...
