Funny You Should Say That Lyrics - The Alan Parsons Project

Lead vocal: the flying pickets 

Well it's funny you should say that 

It's a most peculiar thing 

Yes it's funny you should say that 

I was talking to a man 

And I saw he wore a ring 

Yes it's funny you should say that 

And I told him of a dream 

Where I caught and ate a whale 

Then I woke up feeling hungry, he said 

Thats a curious tale 

For a dream contains a wish 

In this case a giant fish 

As the pressure you were under 

Might have woken you from slumber 

To relieve the pangs of hunger 

You just dreamed yourself a dish 

Well it's funny you should say that 

It's a most peculiar thing 

Yes it's funny you should say that 

For I also met a man 

And he also wore a ring 

Yes it's funny you should say that 

And I told him of a dream 

Where the sun was at its height 

But my toes were blocks of ice, he said 

Let me get this right 

You are tall and so your feet 

Must protrude beyond the sheet 

While you sleep they're unprotected 

And it's just as I suspected 

You were trying to dream some heat 

But there are six white wolves 

In the dead of the night 

On the branch of a tree 

And they have such big eyes 

And they're shining so bright 

All the better to see 

And they have such big ears 

All the better to hear 

And they're listening to me 

And they have such sharp teeth 

All the better to eat 

And they're looking at me 

Well it's funny you should say that 

It's a most peculiar thing 

Yes it's funny you should say that 

I was speaking to a man 

But I don't recall a ring 

Yes it's funny you should say that 

And I told him of a dream 

Where I turned into a snail 

And he said it is simplicity 

To follow such a trail 

For this creature takes his shell 

Anywhere that he may roam 

But work must keep you on the move 

You fear your wife may disapprove 

So like the snail you just remove 

And take along your home 

If I step on a line 

Something will happen 

There are rats in a jar 

Something terrible will happen 

And they have such big eyes 

And they're shining so bright 

All the better to see 

And they have such sharp teeth 

All the better to eat 

And they're looking at me 

Tell me what do they want 

Tell me what can they be 

Tell me what does it mean 

Tell me what do you see

Nothing is what it seems 

Fantasia 

A world that's made out of dreams 

Fantasia 

Nothing is what it seems 

Fantasia 

Well it's funny you should say that 

It's a most peculiar thing 

Yes it's funny you should say that 

Though I haven't met this man 

So he didn't wear a ring 

It's so funny you should say that 

If I told him of a dream 

Where I turned into a hat 

That was round and made of fur, would he say 

Nothing wrong with that 

As I sit here in my chair 

I can see your growth is spare 

And it is my observation 

That this caused you much frustration 

So you dreamed a consolation 

To replace the loss of hair 

I'm going to be a mother 

I'm going to have a child 

There are wolves in the tree 

But the tree never grew 

There are rats in the jar 

But the curse wasn't true 

Fantasia 

Nothing is what it seems 

Fantasia 

A world that is made out of dreams
