lyrics

You Don’t Dream Enough

Non-ecstatic nomadic
Is the name of the lifestyle I lead these days
Minimalist and tragic
I’m now downwardly mobile to NFA

These words of wisdom
Are the only things that I heard today
So I’ll listen carefully ‘cause I’m trying to understand what they say

If you can’t fit all of your things into the back of your car
Then you own too much
If you can fit all of your dreams
Into the palm of one hand then you don’t dream enough

Forfeited stable income
For the ghost of a hand over fist
My career as an educated guesser
Suddenly just didn’t fit

These words of wisdom
Are the only things that I ate today
So I’ll chew them over
‘Cause I’m trying to live just by what they say

If you can’t fit all of your things into the back of your car
Then you own too much
If you can fit all of your dreams
Into the palm of one hand then you don’t dream enough

I had a love
That was sure as the stars that shine
And I gave it up
For some reasons I could not define

And it hurt like hell when I fell
And the universe pulled me to my feet
And I got some grit in my knees
And some more for my teeth
‘Cause I’m not gonna sit here and just admit defeat

If you can fit all of your things into the back of your car
Then you own enough
If you can fit all of your dreams
Into the palm of both hands then my god you’re in luck

If you can’t fit all of your things into the back of your car
Then you own you too much
If you can fit all of your dreams
Into the palm of one hand then you don’t dream enough

Carol Hodge Huddersfield, UK

Carol Hodge is a 7-fingered, piano-pounding, Yorkshire-dwelling Singer-Songwriter. Think Regina Spektor meets Billy Bragg, but with fewer digits and a continuous existential crisis, sandwiched between bitter irony and relentless optimism. You won’t know whether to laugh or cry, but will definitely feel something.
Long-term collaborator with Steve Ignorant (CRASS); Ginger Wildheart. ... more
