ABSORBED IN A FANTASY
(Gemmell/McAndrew)

no deeper meaning, same old story, laid waste on the trail of glory
you bare your inside, i'm on the outside, many fears, nothing to hide
speak indignations - no new revelations, sure i could lose but time's on my side
heartbreaking trials these tribulations, the strain comes back to you

i'm ABSORBED IN A FANTASY that no-one can see but me
i'm lost in my FANTASY, i'm trying too hard, can't see
trying too hard , can't see

you're still too young i'm getting blue, case closed, closes on you
will use my head, won't cry more tears, memories last on through the years
words that shiver core through and through, i lose my way if i take your view
recover my aims i feel i must do, the strain comes back to you

i'm ABSORBED IN A FANTASY etc

no deeper meaning, same old story, laid waste on the trail of glory
you bare your inside, i'm on the outside, many fears, nothing to hide
speak indignations - no new revelations, sure i could lose but time's on my side
heartbreaking trials these tribulations, the strain comes back to you

i'm ABSORBED IN A FANTASY etc

Comment:- This is one of the songs where I gave Charlie the title and left him to do what he did best. The music existed, and the lyrics were then written around it. The song is musically styled around one of my favourite bands of that time, namely Rush, and is rhythmically very busy (nice one Nick!!).
