Funny you should say that


Funny You Should Say That
Lead Vocal: The Flying Pickets
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
Their discomfort is detected
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: hmm, 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 terrible will happen
Harmonic 2-
Part harmony with following wolves vers extract and the above verse
intermeshed:
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 want (echo)
Tell me what can they be (echo)
Tell me what does it mean (echo)
Tell me what do you see (echo)
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
If 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 (laughter)
I'm going to have a child (laughter)
Harmoic 5-
Part with all prior verses except the main Fantasia chorus and a new
part:
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
Fantasia
Nothing is what it seems
Fantasia
A world, that's made, out of, dreams

Biografia

The Alan Parsons Project is a British musical group formed in London in 1974 by Alan Parsons, an internationally renowned sound engineer, and Eric Woolfson, a composer and manager. The idea was to create an innovative music project that combined progressive, rock, and classical elements, with the orchestra as a central element. The lineup included session musicians and guest vocalists, including Lenny Zakatek, David Paton, Chris Rainbow, and Colin Blunstone. Woolfson mainly handled the composition of vocal tracks, while Parsons focused on production and instrumental compositions. Among their most notable albums are *Tales of Mystery and Imagination* (1976), inspired by the works of Edgar Allan Poe, *Pyramid* (1975), and *Eye in the Sky* (1977). The group achieved international success in the 1970s and 1980s with songs like "Sirius", "I Wouldn't Want to Be Like You", and "Time Away". After the project ended in 1982, Parsons and Woolfson continued to work independently. Woolfson died in 2009.
