City of Dreams Lyrics


im a street sweeper in your city of dreams
yeah, im a street sweeper in your city of dreams
sweepin up the paper cups between the limousines
street sweeper in your city of dreams
thousands of windows, im scared of what i see
thousands of windows, im so scared of what i see
people wired up to telephones, plugged into tv screens
thousands of windows, im so scared of what i see
lookin at the sky above, higher than these neon names
im lookin at the sky above, higher than these neon names
you cant buy and sell the clouds, they aint among the commodities we trade
lookin at the sky above, higher than these neon names
im waitin for the city of god
yeah, im waitin for the city of god
when what is will be what was
waitin for the city of god
im a street sweeper in your city of dreams
yeah, im a street sweeper in your city of dreams

sweepin up the paper cups between the limousines
street sweeper in your city of dreams
3x city of dreams

Enjoy the lyrics !!!

Bill Fay is a singer-songwriter and pianist from London. Fay began writing songs in the early 1960s while attending university and in 1966 cut a demo using a mobile studio belonging to a man named John Boden. Impressed by the demo, ex-Them drummer Terry Noon helped Bill to sign a recording contract with Decca. In 1967 the label released the single "Some Good Advice"/"Screams In The Ears", produced by early Donovan co-manager Peter Eden. The single "introduced [Fay's] characteristic downbeat melodies and scrambled impressionistic lyrics", according to allmusic reviewer Richie Unterberger.
