Bet you know someone
On the edge of a dream
But you won't let him in
Don't know, where to begin
He says something
That he don't really mean
A throw away line
Came at the wrong time
Everyone is someone else
Or would rather be
So come on over
The Edge of a Dream with me
No one ever means what they say
Or says what they mean
They leave you hanging on
The Edge of a Dream
The Edge of a Dream
The Edge of a Dream...
Edge of a Dream
I am hiding
On the edge of your dream
And you will let me in
If I get close to your skin
I could show you
My emotional side
But the image you see
Is the One you will ride
I am always someone else
When I'm with her
So come on over
The Edge of a Dream with me
I don't have to mean what I say
Or say what I mean
To take you over
The Edge of a Dream
The Edge of a Dream
The Edge of a Dream...
Edge of a Dream
Adlib vocals to fade
Cliff's JD fuelled, 70s "wocka wocka" music, hairy bush and flares porno movie style adlibs xD
Hey...
So come on over babe
Come and get close to me babe
Come and get close to me
Come and get close to me
Come and get close to me
I want to hold you
I want to get close to you
When I'm alone
I think of you but babe
Why don't you phone?
Some call it love
Well I just call it sex
I never knew a mouth could be so wet!
Some call it love
Hey I just call it sex
I never knew a mouth could feel so wet!
Don't ya, dont ya
Don't ya just love it babe hey?
Don't ya? Don't ya just hey?
Don't ya just love it babe hey?
You make me feel so good
You make me feel so good
You make me feel so good
You make me, feel so good
Keep on doing what you doing to me babe
Keep on doing what you do
Keep on doing what you doing to me babe
You know I love it
You know I love it
etc etc!
Like Natural 'E' and Life Is So Unfair this was an early 'Haley/Coates' song and one of the first to be recorded
It was a lot of fun to record, although the quality is very poor by modern standards. Cliff (Coates) was very drunk by the time we got to record this one (Jack Daniels I believe), and was lying on the floor and couldn't get up, so I hung the microphone by it's cable above his mouth and he just lay there and sang along while I played the track :)
He would normally be playing bass, but he was in no fit state to do that either, so I quickly overdubbed a bassline after we'd done the guitar and vocals together live. I had to do it quickly so I could remember what I'd played on guitar, because this song started out very differently when we'd written it. It was a much more poppy, bouncy, smiley song originally based around major chords, but I never liked it like that, so suggested we did it this way, played minors instead of majors and generally funked it up. Cliff did a great adlib job for the end of the song, because I was just grooving along with the drum machine and didn't want to stop playing after the lyrics had come to an end, and fair play, he just carried on making stuff up (like he was starring in his own porno movie ha ha!) 'till I stopped or the tape ran out or whatever. I'd also had quite a lot to drink but somehow seem to still be able to function when I'm doing music. Once I'd finished recording though the haze swept over me and it wasn't until the next day that we realised what we'd done during the night. We did a fade out coz a lot of what Cliff came up with in his drunken state could not be published! But I love it, it still makes me smile xD. Gonna do a decent studio version of this one one day
More early 90s nostalgia from our very first home (bedroom) recording session.
