Innocent When You Dream, Big Time [film], Tom Waits [170]

Jeremy Warmsley returns for everyone's favourite, Tom Waits In A Bath. With discussion of the fusion of embodied and distanced performance, the post-modern nature of telling a story about stolen memories, and the slightly repetitious nature of the verses, we pick over the final track of Big Time. Song by Song is Martin Zaltz Austwick and Sam Pay; two musicians listening to and discussing every single Tom Waits track in chronological order. website: songbysongpodcast.com twitter: @songbysongpod e-mail: [email protected] Music extracts used for illustrative/review purposes include: Innocent When You Dream, Big Time (film), Tom Waits (1988) We think your Song by Song experience will be enhanced by hearing, in full, the songs featured in the show, which you can get hold of from your favourite record shop or online platform.

Lyrics - Innocent When You Dream (ahem) The bats are in the belfry And the dew is on the moor And where are the arms that held me And pledged her love before And pledged her love before And it's such a sad old feeling All of the fields are soft and green And it's memories that I'm stealing But you're innocent when you dream  When you dream You are innocent when you dream When you dream You are innocent when you dream I made a golden promise That we would never part And I gave my love a locket And then I broke her heart And then I broke her heart And it's such a sad old feeling All of the fields are soft and green And it's memories that I'm stealing But you are innocent when you dream  When you dream You are innocent when you dream When you dream You are innocent when you dream And we were running through the graveyard And we laughed my friends and I And we swore we'd be together Until the day we died Until the day we died And it is such a sad old feeling All of the fields are soft and green And it's memories that I'm stealing But you are innocent when you dream  When you dream You are innocent when you dream When you dream You are innocent when you dream It is such a sad old feeling All of the fields are soft and green And it's memories that I'm stealing But you are innocent when you dream  When you dream You are innocent when you dream When you dream You are innocent when you dream
