Andy: “Yet another piece of James and the Giant Peach flotsam. This is James' poor me song, you know, sat alone in room, looking out of window wistfully. A tad autobiographical for me as an only child. I tried to re-write it as a song for XTC, calling it ‘The Living Room’ but it never felt as good. Just like Popeye, it am what it am. Dig the picardy third though.”
[THIS SPACE INTENTIONALLY LEFT BLANK]
Darkness wraps her gloves around my room and lonely bed
Loom of stars will weave a rug of thoughts inside my head
I don't dream of cakes and candies or to know where fairyland is
There is only one thing you can send
All I dream of is a friend
Clouds like purple boats will drift across the heaven's dish
Fast asleep I'll float each night to find my hidden wish
I don't dream of buried treasure or of riches beyond measure
There is only one thing you can send
All I dream of is a friend
Friends are there for you to trust
Friends are there to joke and laugh with
Light a smile when things get tough,
to illuminate your path with
I don't dream of magic castles
or of piles of Christmas parcels
There is only one thing you can send
All I dream of is a friend
I don't dream of ice cream canyons
All my thoughts are of companions
There is only one coin you can spend
All I dream of is a friend
