The Alan Parsons Project - Funny You Should Say That

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 That's 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 it's 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 Fantasia Nothing is what it seems Fantasia A world that's made out of dreams Fantasia Nothing is what it seems Fantasia 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 Fantasia Nothing is what it seems Fantasia A world that is made out of dreams
