Tom Robinson Band - Too good to be true 1978

Dreamed last night I was dreaming
Somebody answered my prayer
Cried out over my shoulder
Only the devil was there
Hold no hope for the future
Or good times seeing me through
Too good to be true
Too good to be true

Can't find the floor or the wardrobe
Can't find my way to the park
Life in a bedsitter bedlam
Afraid to go home in the dark
All day today just excuse for tomorrow
Tomorrow just something to do
Too good to be true
Too good to be true

(Instrumental)

I've given up reading the papers
I've given up watching TV
Hope in hell I'm able to tell
Whatever happened to me
Facing a phase in the future
Hope I've got something to lose
Too good to be true
Too good to be true
Too good to be true

Much too good
Too good to be true

  • When I was 17, I traded Springsteen's "The River" for TRB's album. Still have it, and will never regret that transaction. Kustow's guitar work was genius, and still rings true today, fuck everybody else, TRB is timeless..

  • TRB were an immensely underated rock band that were'nt around long enough.

    This song has a very similar rythem 'n melody to Van Morrison's Moondance

    You've got it back to  front - the far right do well when Labour are in power not the Tories. The BNP are imploding.

  • @Sweetfan78 eggzacly! thanks for reminding me the song I was trying to rembember! That's Van Morrison's alright! still a good song, though... but I guess it aint't too good to be unique! lol

    When it was written Callaghan had still a year to run in office before his disastrous campaign in May 79. However, we were aware of a storm brewing with Keith Joseph's public pronouncements .

  • This song is a reflection of the time it was written of a reactionary Tory Government causing economic; social & political chaos and Nazis NF on the streets stirring up racial hatred and bigotry

    Today we have? A reactionary Tory Government causing economic; social & political chaos and Nazis BNP + EDL on the streets stirring up racial hatred and bigotry, which makes this still sadly all too relevant.

    Wait for 5 years to do anything about either and we will quite literally reap the whirlwind.

  • Saw TRB at the Armadillo when they were touring for this album. got invited to the after party but was too wrecked by the time Tom arrived to say more than "Hey...?!" I was trying to remain reasonably sober so that I could, er, 'meet' Tom, but they were late. Ah. Ausin: the Good Ole Days. Re: Sweetfan 78; you are right! Never really put my finger on that b4

  • Blair and Brown screwed us all over. Tea party for all except for the white middle class Gay or Not.. Dont scream about the Tory's they will bring themselves down in five years.

  • love that the guitar player has a sticker that says "keep music live" yet he is not plugged in .. lol . :)

  • Who is Tom Robinson?
