Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Put a ribbon round my neck and call me a libertine

I will sing you songs of dreams I used to dream

I will sail away on seas of silver and gold

Until I reach my home

[Verse 2]

Give me a guitar and I'll be your troubadour

Your strollin' minstrel, 12th century door to door

I don't know anymore, if that feelin' is past, will it last?

Oh, how can you be sure?

[Verse 3]

And how do I know if you're feeling the same as me?

And how do I know that that's the only place you want to be?

[Verse 4]

Give me a stage and I'll be your rock and roll queen

Your 20th century cover of a magazine

Rollin' Stone here I come, watch out everyone

I'm singin', I'm singin' my song

[Verse 5]

Give me a festival and I'll be your Glastonbury star

The lights are shinin', everyone knows who you are

Singin' songs about dreams, about hopes, about schemes

Ooh, they just came true

[Verse 6]

And how do I know if you're feeling the same as me?

And how do I know if that's the only place you want to be?

And how do I know if you're feeling the same as me?

And how do I know if that's the only place you want to be?

[Verse 7]

And if you want it too

Then there's nothing left to do

Let's start a band, let's start a band

Let's start a band, let's start a band

[Verse 8]

And if you want it too

Then there's nothing left to do

Let's start a band, let's start a band

Let's start a band, let's start a band

[Verse 9]

And if you want it too

Then there's nothing left to do

Let's start a band, let's start a band

Let's start a band, let's start a band

[Verse 10]

And if you want it too

Then there's nothing left to do
