Dan Bull - Dream Girl lyrics

I assume you've met before
No we haven't actually hi, my name's Daniel
And who might you be? She introduced herself
Then I he offered her
Me a drink now we're together
S he's the one for me

She wants to be a vegan
But still eats cheese sandwiches
Holidays in Sweden, speaks three languages
Mandarin Chinese, Norwegian and English
Good girl most of the time
But dabbles in cannabis
Which has it's advantages
For imaginative fantasists
A bit of an anarchist political activist
But isn't a twat with it
Has an ambition to make cinema, act in it
In fact, she's already written a manuscript
She's the whole package
Gift wrapped in bandages
Ready to be unravelled now she's found
The right man to kiss
Sometimes we're out and other lads
Try and chat her up
But she always has the perfect
Comeback to back her up before I saw her
I thought that I was lacking luck
But my next decision was ditching pessimism
Pack it up how could I hate a world that
Made this girl how she looks
So if you're asking me my fantasy
That's the stuff

Girl of my dreams she's the one for me
Girl of my dreams certainly the one for me

She's got a soft spot for prog rock
Often wears odd socks
Not because she's kooky
But just because she's got lots
Of other things on her mind
Like what time One Stop's
Open so we can make some
Late night Quorn hot dogs
Like me, see, she's got a wonky body clock
Sometimes it's tomorrow before she nods off
With her it's non-stop
She makes night brighter than the daytime
Utilises every second on the clock
We've got a lot in common - great minds
So we often say the same
Lines at the same time
She's the alto counterpoint to my bassline
I knew she had soul when I
Heard it through the grapevine
Marvin Gaye, Sly Stone, Curtis Mayfield
Bill Withers, Billie Holiday
Dusty Springfield she'll spin vinyl
And I like the things she plays
I'm acquiring a taste for the
The finer things of late
She'll listen to bebop from 1958
Coleman, Coltrane, Tyner, Mingus, Davis
I'd find them in her playlist
That's when I'd begin to say
This is too good to be true
It's like I've been to Vegas
The way that I've hit the jackpot
It's nice to think I've made it
Light of my life, when she's shining
It's amazing
My spine was tingling ages once my
Eyes had seen her face
Because her smile's an invitatition
To a better place let us celebrate


With her monogamy is never monotony
She's got lots of opinions
Which she expresses honestly
She dresses modestly, but knows she's sexy
(obviously) talks filthy but still says
Every letter properly
She's got a Monopoly on me, hot property
But she knows well that a posh
Hotel is not for me
She'll pop an e but never have a pop at me
For being drug free because she's
Seen me when I'm ugly
Acting abominably and she still
Loves me phenomenally
When I go wrong, I just follow her lead
Come along with me, she says
Because I wanna sleep together
So we throw our overcoats on
And leave for heaven

She's into literature, in particular
De Bernières firmly aware that living's all
About the journey there
She isn't into girly affairs
Like perming her hair but, it's sweet
She still sleeps with her first teddy bear
And when it's early, she wears no make up
And has puffy eyes but, I find it a great
Look because she's mine
She looks fine with her hair tied
Up or even better down
I swear that no-one looks better
In a dressing gown
She's so giggly that her nose goes wrinkly
Simply because I've been up to
Bring her a drink, you see
I'm into coffee, she likes a hot cup of tea
That's one of the few topics on
Which we do not agree she watches old films
Ticks ones off she hasn't seen
Her guilty pleasure's reading
Gossip magazines
Now I often have a real problem
With what I can believe but seeing her
There's not a chance I'm dreaming


She's certainly the one for me
Man I really adore her
So I'm perching on my knee
And I'm kneeling before her
Six months' salary
On the ring that I've bought her
I ask her "Will you marry me?"
And she says "Dan, of"

Alarm clock going off
Errr no, for Pete's sake
I had the girl of my
Dreams and wasn't even awake
