Heart Chocolate

If The Stars Are The Dreams of Spacemen

Written by Brian Reeves, August-October 1972
Recorded in a New Malden bedroom, October 1973

Another bedroom demo, recorded around the same time as “And I Never Took You To A Festival”.  As with many of these old recordings, the tape was pretty mangled at the end so hope you won’t mind the attempt at masking this in the best way I could.  Hope it doesn’t impair your enjoyment too much.  I 'd like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who has been such a supporter of this page over the last 18 months or so.  Our family has been astounded by  all the support and We need to you all to know that every one of your kind words means the whole world.  You are the kindest of people and we will never forget the support you have given.  You have hearts the size of lions.  It means everything.  Our deep love and appreciation can never be enough to repay you all..

Lyrics:

Knowing love as I do
Yes I’m frightened
Desperate gasps of conversation
Fears heighten
If I’m only the dreams of dreamers
Why am I in isolation?

Seeing life as I do
Yes I’m whitened
Seeking masts on horizons
Pains tighten
If the stars are the dreams of spacemen
Where am I in heaven’s tracing?

I am the hammer on closed doors and windows
Asking the question that nobody knows

Breathing songs as I do
Yes I’m lightened
But they’re only gaps in vacuums
Freak lightning
Inside dreams of dreams of dreamers
Outside schemes of schemes of schemers
Who Am I?

Lots of people moving to the state of AZ
The desert seems like a nice a nice place to be
The only problem is there’s not enough H20
One day you’ll turn the tap and it’s not gonna flow
The climate keeps getting drier every single year
I guess we’ll have to take fewer showers and drink more beer

If you can’t stand the heat maybe you should get out of the kitchen
Maybe this isn’t the right place for you.
The sun up in the sky is 93 million miles away
But it feels a lot closer on a hot Arizona day

There’s not enough snowpack on the mountains up high
They say the Colorado river’s running dry
They’re ripping up lawns, replacing them with rocks
Instead of going barefoot, you walk around in crocs
The polar glaciers are melting in to the sea
I wish that they could scoop up an iceberg and drop it down on me

If you can’t stand the heat maybe you should get out of the kitchen
Maybe this isn’t the right place for you

Most of the rain falls in the summer
Monsoon season can be a real bummer
You get a big dust storm, they call it a haboob
You can watch scary videos on You Tube
You’ll be driving and suddenly you can’t see
You gotta make sure you don’t crash into a cactus or a tree

If you can’t stand the heat maybe you should get out of the kitchen
Maybe this isn’t the right place for you

A long time a ago, it must have been tough without air conditioning
People just had to sit around all day moaning and bitching 
Now the biggest thing we complain about is our high electric bill
As we lie on the couch watching Netflix enjoying the comfortable chill

If you can’t stand the heat maybe you should get out of the kitchen
Maybe this isn’t the right place for you
The sun up in the sky is 93 million miles away
But it feels a lot closer on a hot Arizona day

Can't Stand the Heat

Hurt me a lot 25

STANDING ALONE
Like putting down a lame horse
An act of kindness
No longer do I walk
In betrayal’s blindness
Can’t penetrate your walls
The bridge you burned
Tell me, Brother
When did your heart turn?

CHORUS
You left me standing
Alone
You left me standing
Alone
You left me standing
Alone
No way home

Oooh-oooh-ooh, Oooh-oooh-ooh, Oooh-oooh-ooh

Through the years I cried
Waiting on your call
Through the tears I woke
Like catchin’ my fall
You made the decision
To close the door
Brother, I wish you well
But I’m not waiting anymore

Now, all that’s left to do
Is walking away
As much as it hurts my heart
Got no more to say
‘Cuz when you can’t look in the mirror
You’re bound to crack
Til you pick up the pieces
No comin’ back, ‘cuz

You left me standing
Alone
You left me standing
Alone
You left me standing
Alone
No way home, yeah-ee-yeah

You left me standing
Alone
You left me standing
Alone
You left me standing
Alone
No way home, no way home..

Lyrics:

OK
I wanna hear it every day
It’s OK

Alright
Want to hear you say you might
It’s alright

It only seemed like yesterday
It’s funny how things turned out that way
Didn’t hear what they had to say
Yesterday

Hello
The words I wanna hear you say so
Only Hello

Goodnight
Don’t wanna hear you say goodnight
You know it’s right

It only seemed like yesterday
It’s funny how things turned out that way
Didn’t hear what they had to say
Yesterday


Ok – I wanna hear its
