LYRICS:
Coming soon, something good Something we can share, understood Could be better news we can share Something's coming soon, I hear it everywhere (Live it) It's the story of our lives (Give it) It's the way we've always been (Live it) Though the mountains may divide (Give it) We can reach the sea I believe we can change We can make it more than a dream And I believe that we can change It's not as strange as it might seem In the air I can feel Something magical becoming real From the other side, looking in Come on, throw the dice and tonight we'll win (Live it) It's the story of our lives (Give it) It's the way we've always been (Live it) Though the mountains may divide (Give it) We can reach the sea I believe we can change We can make it more than a dream And I believe that we can change It's not as strange as it might seem I believe we can change We can make it more than a dream And I believe that we can change It's not as strange as it might seem Driving through the night Just you and me Faster than the pale moonlight Something's calling (calling, calling) Calling us away Do you believe Heaven is a better place? We'll be there in a heartbeat I believe we can change We can make it more than a dream And I believe that we can change It's not as strange as it might seem It's not as strange as it might seem I believe we can change We can make it more than a dream And I believe that we can change It's not as strange as it might seem I believe we can change We can make it more than a dream And I believe that we can change It's not as strange as it might seem |

REVIEWS
x
The sound and structure of a song like 'More Than A Dream' (with its surprise "driving through the night, just you and me" second chorus) is a great example of the Xenomania influence. Popjustice
x
More Than A Dream, another co-written piece with Xenomania, is an insistent pop fable that celebrates aspiration, change and dreams with a seductive, glossy disco production. Not the strongest song on the album but I guarantee the melody line will be going round your head for days. Cathode Ray Tube

Guitar! Yes, we know they've embraced their inner affection for the odd strum in the past (see 'Release, for instance), but it still comes as a bit of a shock, although at least here it serves as fascinatingly feline punctuation to a track that sees them back in Knuckles-Morales-style house territory, if somewhat updated for modern sensibilities, and revives the utopian spirit that powered their take on 'Go West' and, better still, their own 'Red Letter Day'. A work of thrilling militancy, then, but one sufficiently ambiguous to be adopted and adapted by any of the more synth-savvy types that have tugged on pop's fringes in recent times - the La Rouxs and Ladyhawkes of the world could take a happy stab at it, and just imagine Roisin Murphy at the controls...
