It's OK, I got it now.

And yes- I fully agree with that sentiment.

Sorry to sort of 'cut in' but I noticed the thread while searching for "Daydreamer eyes" lyrics - could anyone direct me to some website or provide me with the text, please? I'm doing research for an (academic) article on - believe me or not - glam aesthetics (deadlin: 15th Nov). I would be grateful.

I think it's a beautiful song. I hadn't listened to it for a long time and it came up on my ipod today while I was on the train. I ended up on the verge of tears and being offered a tissue by the lady next to me... Anyway, these are the lyrics i figured out. I hope it helps for your paper:

DAYDREAMER EYES
This day has never existed
Oh so slow, lazy and drifting
Taking over recollections
Half deceits, half remembered

30 seconds to say goodbye
30 seconds to change your mind
30 seconds to hold you tight
30 seconds to save your life
30 seconds to say hello
30 seconds to hold you close
30 seconds to look into your daydreamer eyes
Daydreamer eyes

"The story of man makes me sick
Inside, outside.
I don't know why something so conditional
And all talk should hurt me so."

This day has never existed
The clocks have stopped and missed their purpose
Never felt so torn and tired
Creep into the standstill waiting

30 seconds to say goodbye
30 seconds to change your mind
30 seconds to hold you tight
30 seconds to save your life
30 seconds to say hello
30 seconds to hold you close
30 seconds to look into your daydreamer eyes
Daydreamer eyes

Never been so beaten and twisted
I can still see all the blisters
Foggy eyes, hearts are still aching
This day has never existed
