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
