Funny You Should Say That Lyrics

The interpretation of dreams

 

 Lead vocal: the flying pickets

 

 Well it's funny you should say that

 It's a most peculiar thing

 Yes it's funny you should say that

 

 I was talking to a man

 And i saw he wore a ring

 Yes it's funny you should say that

 

 And i told him of a dream

 Where i caught and ate a whale

 Then i woke up feeling hungry, he said

 Thats a curious tale

 For a dream contains a wish

 In this case a giant fish

 As the pressure you were under

 Might have woken you from slumber

 To relieve the pangs of hunger

 You just dreamed yourself a dish

 

 Well it's funny you should say that

 It's a most peculiar thing

 Yes it's funny you should say that

 

 For i also met a man

 And he also wore a ring

 Yes it's funny you should say that

 

 And i told him of a dream

 Where the sun was at its height

 But my toes were blocks of ice, he said

 Let me get this right

 You are tall and so your feet

 Must protrude beyond the sheet

 While you sleep they're unprotected

 And it's just as i suspected

 You were trying to dream some heat

 

 But there are six white wolves

 In the dead of the night

 On the branch of a tree

 

 And they have such big eyes

 And they're shining so bright

 All the better to see

 

 And they have such big ears

 All the better to hear

 And they're listening to me

 

 And they have such sharp teeth

 All the better to eat

 And they're looking at me

 

 Well it's funny you should say that

 It's a most peculiar thing

 Yes it's funny you should say that

 

 I was speaking to a man

 But i don't recall a ring

 Yes it's funny you should say that

 

 And i told him of a dream

 Where i turned into a snail

 And he said it is simplicity

 To follow such a trail

 For this creature takes his shell

 Anywhere that he may roam

 

 But work must keep you on the move

 You fear your wife may disapprove

 So in the dream you just remove

 And take along your home

 

 If i step on a line

 Something will happen

 There are rats in a jar

 Something will happen

 

 And they have such big eyes

 And they're shining so bright

 All the better to see

 

 And they have such sharp teeth

 All the better to eat

 And they're looking at me

 

 Tell me what they say

 Tell me what can they be

 Tell me what does it mean

 Tell me what do you see

 Well it's funny you should say that

 It's a most peculiar thing

 Yes it's funny you should say that

 

 Though i haven't met this man

 So he didn't wear a ring

 It's so funny you should say that

 

 I told him of a dream

 Where i turned into a hat

 That was round and made of fur, would he say

 Nothing wrong with that

 As i sit here in my chair

 I can see your growth is spare

 And it is my observation

 That this caused you much frustration

 So you dreamed a consolation

 To replace the loss of hair

 

 I'm going to be a mother

 I'm going to have a child

 

 There are wolves in the tree

 But the tree never grew

 There are rats in the jar

 But the curse wasn't true
