Freudiana

I was alone in my room feeling sorry for myself.

Call me a prophet of doom, I could think of nothing else.

I found a Freudian book gathering dust upon my shelf.

I thought I'll give it a look, would it hurt or would it help?



Freudiana, do you want to be somebody?

Freudiana, do you want to change the world?



I met the Wolfman and the Ratman, Anna-O and Little Hans.

They were walking on a tightrope, I never thought they had a chance.

And then a hand reached out to hold them just before they tumbled down.

But I was standing in a quicksand and I could not feel the ground.



Freudiana, do you want to be somebody?

Freudiana, do you want to change the world?



I look back and try to find the part of me I don't know.

I won't stop till I see the truth.  There's such a long way to go.



I saw a picture of a stranger but I don't understand.

He had a ring around his finger and something burning in his hand.

And I wanted him to teach me and I needed to believe.

But the shadows that he threw me were intended to deceive.



Freudiana, do you want to be somebody?

Freudiana, do you want to change the world?

Suppose I were to tell you that the meaning of dreams 

is not all that it seems and the ultimate truth is a lie.

And you are just a puppet who can dance on a string.

Do you feel anything? 

Would you Laugh?  Would you care?  Would you cry?



But the meaning of life is a mystery, how can anyone disagree?

And the music is a symphony which we play in a minor key.



I am a mirror.  I am a mirror.  Looking at me you see yourself

I am a mirror.  I am a mirror.  Every face is someone else.

Look at me smile and you're the clown.  And if I dance you turn around.

Look in my eyes and see your tears until the music disappears.



So if you are confused and don't know which way to go.

You will certainly know.  From the moment we're living we die.

And if it's all a crazy game you don't want to play

Tell me what you can say.

It's a joke.  It's the truth.  It's a lie.



But the meaning of life is a mystery that we don't understand.

And the music is a rhapsody if you're happy the way that you are.



I am a mirror.  I am a mirror.  Looking at me you see yourself

I am a mirror.  I am a mirror.  Every face is someone else.

Look at me smile and you're the clown.  And if I dance you turn around.

Look in my eyes and see your tears until the music disappears.



And the meaning of life is a mystery though we live it from day to day.

But the music of live should be harmony so that anyone here can play.



I am a mirror.  I am a mirror.  Looking at me you see yourself

I am a mirror.  I am a mirror.  Every face is someone else.

Look at me smile and you're the clown.  And if I dance you turn around.

Look in my eyes and see your tears until the music disappears.

Little Hans, little Hans, what do you see?

The worlds is full of big surprises

Little Hans, little Hans, what can they be?

They come in many shapes and sizes



Little boys always love to play

But something is not quite right

Little Hans won't come out today

He's scared of a horse that might bite



Little Hans, little Hans, what can it be?

Your thoughts are filled with such confusion

Little Hans, little Hans when will you see?

You're barking up the wrong conclusion



Professor man asks him oh so nicely

Why will you not come out?

Little Hans tells him most politely

What he is thinking about



A ride in a tram, a lily white lamb, raspberry jam

Little Hans, little Hans, where will you go?

The world is full of compromises

Little Hans, little Hans, how will you know?

The come in many strange disguises



Professor man shakes his head and wonders

How will he work it out?

Little Hans tells him quite precisely

What he's been dreaming about



I jump in the bath, I make myself laugh, I ride a giraffe



Little Hans, little Hans, I found a clue

I think I've made the right connection

Little Hans, little Hans, all I can do

Is give a common sense injection



Little boys grow up just like daddy

Professor man has no doubt

Little Hans goes to sleep and wonders

What he was talking about

Dora, in the middle of the night

will you wait for me

Till the morning sun shine bright

For it's all a dream

And it's only make believe



Dora, oh it hurts to hear you say

You're all alone

And the pain won't go away

But it's all a dream

And it's only make believe



Listening through the hours of the day

Waiting for the night to end

Thinking, though it's not for me to say

When will I see you again

When will I see you again



Forget the lies they whisper in your ear

And every superstitious word you hear

Dora, though the truth is hard to face

And the fantasy

Is not easy to replace

It's all a dream

And it's only make believe



Oh, I keep thinking

Of the words I shouldn't say

When will I see you again

When will I see you again



And every doubt they whisper in your ear

And all the half-forgotten past you fear

One day will fade away and disappear



Dora, in the middle of the night

Do you wait for me

where the morning sun shine bright

Is it all a dream

Is it only make believe



Is it all a thread

Of the tangled web you weave

Is it all a dream

Is it only make believe

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



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

Do you know who I am

Do you know where you are

Are you where you want to be



Do you see what you like

Do you like what you see

Do you think a need in you

Can fulfill a need in me



You're on your own, you're on your own

In a no man's land

In a danger zone

You're on your own, you're on your own

And you cant turn back

And you can't find your way home



Do you know who you are

Do you know what you want

Can you see me as I am



Do you think you're a lion

And I'm a lamb

That you came in here a boy

And you're going out a man



You're on your own, you're on your own

And there's no way out

Of the Danger zone

You're on your own, you're on your own

And your only friend 

Is a heart of stone



And now you are alone my friend

And I must set you free

And you must face the world outside

And find your destiny



You're on your own, you're on your own

In a no man's land

In a danger zone

You're on your own, you're on your own

And your only friend has a heart of stone



You're on your own, you're on your own

And there's no way out

Of the Danger zone

You're on your own, you're on your own

Just a lonely child

And you can't find your way home

We've come so far

To hear the words

Of hope and consolation

With no star to guide us through the night



Through many realms of fantasy

We wander and we roam

Far away from home



Then all of those

We held so dear

Grew tired of understanding

And we dream through the endless night alone

What sun can light this darkness

And what hand remove this stone



Far away, far away

Like a leaf that the wind has blown

Far away, far away

Far away from home

Far away from home



All that I am

What I've become

Will I ever find my place in the sun



What sun can light this darkness

And what hand remove this stone



Far away, far away

Will I ever find my place in the sun

Far away



I could be happy then

Far away

I'll find Jerusalem

Far away from home

Far away from home

Maitre Charcot he can send you where the winds blow

Look in his eye and your mind goes into Limbo

They say, he's mad as a hatter

He's no medicine man

Let yourself go, let yourself go, let yourself go



Maitre Charcot he can teach you what you don't know

Look in his eye and the clock runs out of tempo

He knows, it's mind over matter

You'll fit in the palm of his hand

Let yourself go, let yourself go, let yourself go



It doesn't need too much explaining

It doesn't seem to be so hard

You just count to ten and then back again

And before long you won't know where you are



Maitre Charcot he will catch you if you let go

Look in his eyes and your thoughts go into slow motion

You glide, like birds of a feather

He flies higher than you

Let yourself go, let yourself go, let yourself go



For any doubt you have remaining

Let me remind you once again

You just close you eyes as the eagle flies

and before you know it you won't feel any pain, any pain



I'd like to stay here forever, who needs the hullabaloo?

Let yourself go, let yourself go, let yourself go

Round your finger

Token of the love we give one another

Music of the future that we'll discover

Promises to keep more than any other

Symbolising all that we share



The ring is magic

The ring is power

Like a candle in the dark for everyone to see

The ring is madness

The ring is fire

And it burns with all the brightness of the sun



In a circle

Living in a world of perpetual motion

Turning with the tide of a restless ocean

Spinning on the wheel of your own emotion

Ridin on a wild carrousel

You'll be turning round and round

Round and round we go



Promises, promises, promises, promises



Round your finger

After all the years we've been together

Walking in the sun and stormy weather

Sharing in a moment to last forever

Memories and dreams without end



The ring is magic

The ring is power

And it finds you in the darkness of the night

The ring is madness

The ring is fire

And it guides you when you're blinded by the light



The ring is magic

The ring is power

Like a candle in the dark for all to see

The ring is madness

The ring is fire

And it burns with all the brightness of the sun



The ring is magic, magic, fire, fire

The ring is mine

I was lonely and depressed

Having fled the family home

When I met an old acquaintance

I had only barely known



And I told her over tea

Of my worries and my woes

And a morbid fear of eating beans

In tightly fitting clothes



And she said psychoanalysis was just the thing for me

And she knew a mayfair analyst I really ought to see



So I went round to his rooms

And he saw me right away

Though he asked a sum of money I could ill afford to pay



But I lay down on the couch 

By a bowl of flaccid flowers

And I talked and talked and talked and talked

For hours and hours and hours

And he told me tales of oedipus with great authority



And he asked me if my mother

Wore stiletto heels and rubber

And I realised that this poor soul

Was more confused than me



Well the shock was so profound

That I fled into the strand

Where I saw a hare krishna group

And joined in with the band



This was just the life for me

Free of worldly goods and care

And I chanted and I ranted

Round and round trafalgar square



I converted tens of thousands and they joined us then and there



But the bagwan was so jealous

That he called me over zealous

Then he threw me out

When I refused to cut off all my hair



(Dr. Ruth, Dr. Ruth, why not write to Dr. Ruth?)



So I wrote to Dr. Ruth

And she helpfully proposed

I should join a nudist colony

And throw away my clothes



All that sun upon my flesh

Would set my libido free

And would guarentee much more of it

Whatever 'it' may be



But I don't feel that I was quite equipped for such a life



Fair of skin just like my sisters

Too much sun would give me blisters

So I think I'll turn the whole thing in 



And go home to the wife

I am the universal mother

The heart of the family

When you are born in your innocent world

You will depend on me

Mine are the arms to rock you

When you're scared of the dark of the night

But soft though the lips of a girl might be

No one can love you better than me



But somewhere in the dark there is a wall of silence

That hides the love away, that hides the love away



I am the universal father

The head of the family

When you imagine a man of the world

He will be just like me

I am the lord and master

My word is the royal decree

I stand by the side of the woman I love

No one can love her better than me



I am the universal son

The pride of the family

I shine like the stars in my mother's eyes

She can believe in me

I am the young pretender

With fire to bring to the fight

But strong as anothers arms may be

No one can love her better than me



But somewhere in the dark there is a wall of silence

And sometimes in the night there is a wall of silence

Don't take the love away, don't take the love away

No one can love you better than me

No one can love you better than me



No one can love you

No one can love you better than me

This golden day will be mine

For every moment in time

If time should lose her way



A symphony in the night

Of stars that dance in the light

And music far away



They say that love is but a dance

Don't let the music fade away

Don't let the moment pass



Without reason or rhyme

The sweet bouquet of the wine

Will vanish in the air



The innocence of the rose

She leaves where she goes

For all the world to share



Some days when clouds are drifting by

I open my eyes and watch them go

And wonder where they fly



Some nights Orion runs too fast

I look to the stars as if to say

Don't let the moment pass



But soon a golden age is past

Just when it seemed that miracles

Where not too much to ask



And though the world may turn too fast

If it should seem like paradise

Don't let the moment pass

The time has come the wild one said

When we must all decide

We cannot carry on this way

And so we must divide

The road before us runs both ways

So which one do you choose

But all will not go well if you refuse



What becomes of the upper me when the fire burns in my mind

How can I leave my Ego behind

I return to another me or I lose the will to survive

How can I keep my hero alive



It seems to me the wise one said

That mountains are so high

The river is too deep to cross

And none of us can fly

But I believe that compromise

Is what is needed here

Or surely we become the things we fear



But the good in me don't wanna believe

That the evil me is so

And a voice somewhere said do as you please

But the upper me said no, no, no, no, no, no



What becomes of the upper me when the fire burns in my mind

How can I leave my Ego behind

I return to another me or I lose the will to survive

How can I keep my hero alive

To survive

How can I keep my hero alive

And now you are alone my friend

And I must set you free

And you must face the world outside

And find your destiny

What kind of madness rule the world today

What earthly reason holding sway

There is no heaven at all

For some may weep

And some may sleep

While some may rise

And some may fall



No one is an island

No one born alone

No man can turn the tide of fortune on his own

Though some may dare to try



Say there but for the grace of God go you my friend

Say there but for the grace of God go I

Go I



And so we live in lives of fantasy

And dream of dreams that hold the key

And we follow like sheep

We thread the path

That leads to Thee

We seek the soul that is not ours to keep



No one is an island

No one born alone

No man can turn the tide of fortune on his own

Though some may dare to try



Say there but for the grace of God go you my friend

Say there but for the grace of God go I

Go I
