It's quite interesting that this song is a clear favourite, after all it's one of their more obscure songs and yet features high in ratings and searches.
For some reason, I tend to play this song over and over again every summer solstice evening. Midsummer. Have been doing it for over ten years now. There is something very special/extraordinary about this song.
It's one of the songs that I really don't care what the lyrics are. I can only listen to this melody again and again and travel to my thoughts.. Creating my own world, my own words.. Walking in it's rythme...
@markyboythewolf Baz is doing a damn good job. Been to see them a few times this year and all the gigs have been great. Give it a go you might enjoy yourself!
Part 3/3 One thing's pretty certain helped me Make it in the night Showed me somewhere else between wrong and right And at midnight if you can't sleep Then I can bend your ear After midnight we'll sit up half the night Or maybe more And I'll begin to tell you what it is all for Wake up on a good day And the world feels wonderful Midnight summer dream has me in its spell.
Part 2/3 Then at midnight he poured another drink And bent my ear After midnight we sat up half the night Or maybe more And he began to tell me what it was all for I woke up in an armchair He had gone I don't know where Left me there to sit and look at the rain Don't remember much at all But his words were echoing A midnight summer dream and then wake again Maybe I'll never find him Maybe he's gone forever Maybe I'll have to sit here Watching the weather
Lyrics: Midnight Summer Dream. Stranglers Part 1/3 Woke up on a good day And the world was wonderful A midnight summer dream had me in its spell I dreamt about an old man Sat and watched the rain all night He couldn't sleep a wink as all the drops fell He told me of the beauty Hidden in our foreheads He told me of the ugliness We show instead And when we put a foot wrong do we learn From all the pain A midnight summer dream as he watched the rain
such a great band i just wish they got alot more recognition for their work ,they are definitely up there among the best groups in the world fuck rolling stone and their views on rock and roll ,these guys are superb
yes, very very amazing song... my dreams come back, this magical and mistery song is great.... it takes your mind to the most deep of your feelings.... thanks to them.
A truly magic song, and it's followed me since the LP was released. It's been many years since I heard it, but it has stayed with me as one of the songs from my early teens that I missed hearing. It was truly fantastic to find it again here. Thank you!
pero a mi que me pasa??,o me borran los comentarios o es que se los mando a papa noel..jajjajjjaja......absolutamente destroza sentimientos.......es casi perfecta......o mejor,sin el casi.....perfecta!!!
so beautiful,i ncredible!!! sad ,and full of life at the same time!! master pieces...Any one knows why do we like this music....? And we´re ot so old......
Woke up on a good day and it was wonderfull. Ah bring back the days of Vladimir and Olga. You Men in Black know what I mean. A truly great original punk band. Reunite again, come on Hugh get the boys back again it would be a sell out.
any1 know what then name of this song is..... its about a russian bloke in affghanistan with a camal named demitres,,, its a stranglers track, on the B side of a 12inch single? pleae if you have it put it on here,, all the bast n ava great summer

Woke up on a good day
And the world was wonderful
A midnight summer dream had me in its spell
I dreamt about an old man
Sat and watched the rain all night
He couldn't sleep a wink as all the drops fell
He told me of the beauty
Hidden in our foreheads
He told me of the ugliness
We show instead........
