Hi good folks, here’s another killer. Written by David Bently of the Python Lee Jackson group, an Aussie band that came over to London England in 1967-68. My understanding is they decided to record a few songs. When David Bently said to the band I don’t think my voice suits ‘In A Broken Dream’ he decided to find someone else. So he chose Rod Stewart to cut 4 tracks for them. After a practise run, he then managed to do it in one take.
David Bently said to Rod what do you want for the vocal recordings and he said (and got) some carpets for my car! In 1972 it made No: 2 in the UK and no 1 in quite a few European countries, under the name of Python Lee Jackson.
In 1992 Rod re-recorded it with David Gilmour on guitar. Again another fine performance. Please check them out!
‘In A Broken Dream’
Every day I spend my time Drinkin' wine, feelin' fine Waitin' here to find the sign That I can understand Yes I am
In the days between the hours Ivory towers, bloody flowers Push their heads in to the air I don't care if I ever know There I go
Don't push your love too far Your wounds won't leave a scar Right now is where you are In a broken dream Did someone bow their head ? Did someone break the bread ? Good people are in bed Before nine o'clock.
On the pad before my eyes Paper cries, tellin' lies The promises you gave From the grave of a broken heart Hmm
Every day I spend my time Drinkin' wine, feelin' fine Waitin' here to find the sign That I can understand Yes I am oh oh oh
I sit here in my lonely room
Don't push your love too far You know your wounds won't even leave a scar Right now is where you are In a broken dream And don't you forget what I say
