Lyrics

[Verse 1] Laura's birth was human But a horse was in her mind She couldn't be a girl too well A horse was more her kind You'll find her in the paddock At any time at all
And so they finally moved her in And put her in a stall [Verse 2] She had a friendly stable Boy, and lots of things to eat And sometimes lumps of sugar As a special Sunday treat But the questions of the neighbours Made her parents feel ashamed There was fighting in the family And everyone got blamed [Chorus] Everybody needs a dream Not many get to live on Dreams are seldom what they seem So how much credence should you give one? [Verse 3] So they found a fancy doctor And they paid a fancy fee And Laura nearly died From her enforced humanity But another doctor saw her He soon had it arranged To move her to a stable Where her parents never came [Verse 4] And there she lives quite happily The stable fills her day She dreams about her cult hood While munching on her hay But sometimes in her daydreams There's a green, unending road And a silver cowboy rider And a saddle made of gold [Chorus] Everybody needs a dream Not many get to live on Dreams are seldom what they seem So how much credence should you give one? [Chorus] Everybody needs a dream Not many get to live on Dreams are seldom what they seem So how much credence should you give one?
