I had a dream that I stole the maps
I erased all the borders, and that was that
I cut the power and sprung the traps
I knocked down the the walls and laid'm flat
I had a dream that I won the vote
I opened all the cages & drained the moats
I threw out a line and I hauled in the boats
I handed out flowers and welcome notes
I had a dream that we all locked arms
And vowed to keep each other from harm
I had a dream that I stole their clips
They ran out of bullets & their guns went click click
Love - Are you too cool for love?
I had a dream that the world was sick
So I gathered up blankets & tourniquets
I divvied out the the money, we all took a hit
Fed everybody & that was it
I had a dream that I talked to God
And he’d never heard of us, I found that odd
I had a dream that we found ourselves
Put our faith in each other and wished him well
I had a dream that we all locked arms
And vowed to keep each other from harm
I had a dream that I stole their clips
They ran out of bullets & their guns went click click
Love - Are you too cool for love?
Love. It’s built into your heart
Love. It’s been there from the start
Love. It’s still there in your heart
Love. Are you too cool? Too cruel?

As a lifelong fan of psyche, I was delighted to have found this, stunned that I'd missed them for three decades and devastated by the news of Dallas' passing. Makes many of the album's lyrics even more poignant. I hear echoes of the Chocolate Watch Band, Long Ryders and both the pop and country sides of the Byrds. Stunning, and a contender for my album of the year. Iain H
Normally a concept rock album about dogs shouldn't work. It couldn't possibly work.
This one does.
Brilliant writing, beautiful music. Matt's emotion and feelings shine through on tracks like Talking to the Sky and I Wanna Be Your Dog.
I mean, it is about dogs, right? Isn't it? Or is it... rob.cee
I feel like a dork for just now (May 2021) stumbling on this alternate version of GOODBYE Blue Monday. If it's half as good as the original, it'll still be twice as good as most of the other music out there. sandymanthemusicfan
