I Could Be Dreaming

Song byBelle & Sebastian

in AlbumFold Your Hands Child, You Walk Like A Peasant

I could be dreaming

I could have ordinary people chasing me from town to town

Mission Impossible

They've got a spy for every blink of your eye

I'm feeling hunted

I'm feeling haunted

They've got a knife for every time you take the same train into work

A family's like a loaded gun

You point it in the wrong direction someone's going to get killed

If you had such a dream

Would you get up and do the things you've been dreaming

Is he your husband?

Or just your boyfriend?

Is he the moron who's been beating you and keeping you inside?

I've never done this kind of thing

But if I kill him now, who's going to miss him?

I went up to the school

I went up Castlehill

For every step there is a local boy who wants to be a hero

Do you want to do it now?

Outside the butchers with a knife and a bike chain
