Lyrics

Small blue boat
Paradise
Do you believe in fairy tales?

   

Small blue boat.

There's a small blue boat
out on the lake tonight
but there's no one in it
she's guided by the light of the moon
there's no-one there
to set the sail,
there's no-one there
to steer the course
but she's guided
by the light of the moon
yes she's guided
by the light of the moon.

Small waves lap
and echo through a low mist
and if you could see it
a small bird rides upon her bow
and you can hear the wind
around her mast
you can hear the wind
amongst the clouds
and she's guided
by the light of the moon
yes she's guided
by the light of the moon.

Who knows where
the sky ends and the water begins
and for a minute
it's hard to recall the light of day
and here I stand
watching here
here I am
spell bound
cause she's guided
by the light of the moon
yes she's guided
by the light of the moon.


   

Paradise.

I had trouble parking
that's why I was late
you said seven-thirty
it's now quarter past eight
I needn't have worried
I knew that you'd wait

Now I had too much whisky
or is it the wine
the bottle I bought you
for £10.99
the street lights are dancing
I can't walk in a line

A cold wind is blowing
the streets are alight
with neon filled raindrops
and this broken kite
it's wings are all mended
on this windy night.

And all the late noises
are carnival sounds
the feather plumed ladies
the strong men and clowns
and two drunken lovers
in paradise found.


   

Do you believe in fairy tales?
("This is a song about trying to live your dreams, and trying to remember what they are when daily life tries to make you forget.")

I picked a peck of
pickled pepper
I asked the pie man
for a pie
I kissed snow white
on her soft lips
I gave the dwarves a hand
in the mine

I said
"Hey Jack
here mate use my thumb.
I helped the Princess
spin here golden line
I kept the farmer's wife
here talking
cause you know those
mice are blind.

Hey Rapunsel
you can use my ladder.
Hey Romeo
here's the keys to my car.
Hey cobbler,
there's no need to worry
cause me and the elves we work
after dark.

Oh life is
what you make it.
Do you believe in
fairy tales?
Oh life is
what you make it.
Do you believe in
fairy tales?

Hey Snow White
hey Jack
hey Princess
hey everyone
let's all get
in the back of my car
we'll join Romeo
and run for the sun.

Oh life is
what you make it.
Do you believe in
fairy tales?
Oh life is
what you make it.
Do you believe in
fairy tales?
Oh my life is
what I make it
yes I believe in
fairy tales
