I Was Dreaming in Scotland

V1 I lay on the bed / I felt as light as a feather

Like my body was floating / up to the sky

I looked out to sea / thought I a saw A great city

with high grey-green walls and white foamy roofs

I was Dreaming in Scotland of a pillar of whisky.

Take your position at the Oran mor gig

Its a real love-in / searching for validation

Watch on the right wrist / Ring on the thumb

CHORUS1 I've seen em / and Ive heard em All my exes in a bar,

i’m asking for their numbers I’m a Late developer

The song is always with me in glory as I run from the beach

Run from the beach __

V2 his lips are moving /Communication

What are you doing / just sticking on strips

Four swans are flying four owls are swooping

Eating the brains out of a young fox

First Man was adam / ground ada damah

Flat bedded trolley with a load of old wood

Can't find the music / circular shopping

Stuck in a tunnel / we missed the bus

CH2 Would I be right, would I be wrong

Am I so weak that I can't be strong

My Dreams are populated by car parks traffic

Urban complications urban obsessions

[Guitar solo over verse and chorus]

V3 turn out the lights/ Dreams of the future

Blinded assistants change water to wine

Fires out a bullet working in hotels

Late in the evening

Night after night

CH3 could I be right might I be wrong?

Did I dream again I dreampt I dreampt again

I’m touchy feely and she likes being touched and felt

I feel her melt

desire as well

(Space)

You can tell

It's gonna end well

I went through a phase of writing my dreams down when I woke up. Dreams are mostly visual but can also carry strong emotions that sometimes wake you up with anxiety or fear for example.

I used an arpeggiator on this recording as it gives a dreamy atmosphere also I played a long guitar solo in this as I had found my signature sound using a Yahoo pedal on setting 16 which makes the guitar sing and swoop like a synth.
