Dream Time - The Jam

Streets I ran — this whole town —

Backstreets and all — I wanted to leave there

But no matter how fast I ran, my feet were glued, I just couldn’t move

There

I saw the hate and lots of people

I heard my name called above the noise

I tried to speak but my tongue was tied

Bumped into emptiness and started to cry — oh no

I saw the lights and the pretty girls

And I thought to myself what a pretty world

But there’s something else here that puts me off

And I’m so scared dear, my love comes in frozen packs

Bought in a supermarket

Streets I ran, through wind and rain

Around this place amongst streaming sunshine

Scared I was, sweating now

Feeling of doom, my bowels turned to water

I felt hot breath whisper in my ear

I looked for somewhere to hide but everywhere’s closed

I shut my eyes pretend not to be here

This feeling’s much to real to ever disappear — oh no

I saw the lights and the pretty girls

And I thought to myself what a pretty world

But there’s something else here that puts me off

And I’m so scared dear, their hate comes in frozen packs

Bought in a supermarket

And I’m so scared dear —

My love comes in frozen packs
