Eden (Eight-Thirty In Spain)

Written by Bootsauce, from Sleeping Bootie, 1993

Seven o'clock in the morning
It's eight-thirty in Spain
Sat here and screwed by the big bad world
And I just want myself a drink
I don't wanna be found
I'm a-lost but I wanna be here
I'm alive and I wanna believe

I've got a feeling that I will never find Eden
Eight-thirty in Spain, I'm on the street, dreaming

Five o'clock over London
It's even later in Spain
I'm sat here, feeling like a refugee
And I didn't even make the plane
Never knew what to think
I'm a-lost but I wanna be here
I'm alive and I wanna believe

I've got a feeling that I will never find Eden
Eight-thirty in Spain, I'm on the street, dreaming

Thought I'd stay here, a-just for a while
Thought I should have a life
Might've wanted, uh, just one more drink
Never wanted a life

It's three o'clock in the morning
Don't know my up from my down
No hotels for the holidays
I guess I'll go make my home in the sand
Better let it all go,
I'm all lost...

I've got a feeling that I will never find Eden
Eight-thirty in Spain, I'm on the street, dreaming (x 2)

I'm not living a lie
I'm living a dream
(dreaming)
