lyrics

There was something in the snake oil
and the jaded eyes they sold you,
'cause you feel a lot like tin foil;
you bend anyway they fold you.
And most of the time you're colored green,
Trapped inside their T.V. screen,
Going with the flow,
until your lover doesn't know you.

You believe you're locked up airtight
But, your self-control is leaking.
You're the only one at war with
all the peace of mind you're seeking.
You feel you're somewhere in between
What you want and what you seem.
You know you¹re going nowhere
'cause you've lost your sense of feeling.

Chorus:
Oh, dreaming then
Was so easy when
You had Bohemian Soul
Believing was being
In flesh tone
When your maverick spin
Was attached to your skin
You laughed
Bohemian Soul

Life's a gypsy, catching dreamers
as they tire of the dancing.
Pinched between her tapered fingers,
victims dangle in her trance.
And as she circles through the night
plucking souls `till morning light,
you borrow your tomorrow's strength
while you're a shadow in her hands.

The Second Brightest Star
by Big Big Train

supported by 5 fans who also own “Bohemian Soul”

In the wake of buying the Welcome To The Planet I also went for this older "EP" (clocking in on 70 minutes a rather big big EP...) as a final farewell to a very bright bright star that sadly doesn't shine anymore. Carsten Pieper

Gathering Speed (2009 remaster)
by Big Big Train

supported by 5 fans who also own “Bohemian Soul”

For me this is an overlooked gem in the catalogue bridging the gap from the early years to their more recent catalogue. If you want your BBT easy on the ear with less progressive elements but just as fantastic vocals and guitar look no further. Merits repeat plays and ideal for listening to on long walks with or without a dog. jpearson98
