Julian Cope - Autogeddon Blues lyrics

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 Motherf**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 Trespa** - By Order" By drunken disorder more likely, old prick Your drunken development's making me sick Your drunken development's making me yawn I sh** 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
