Wonderland
Paul Hyde
--
One of my most favourite songs.  I asked
Paul Hyde about this song when I had the
opportunity to meet him.  I figured it
was a song about the United States, much
like America is Sexy - it talks about a
nice lovely place where many things are
great, but then throws in some barbs and
strangeness - everything isn't perfect.
Paul gave me a much more detailed
description though.  He was in Maui doing
work at Bob Rock's studio, staying in a
place with his wife and a couple friends.
He only had the verses written - the parts
with the nice walks past fountains and so
on, and he had to come up with the chorus.
Someone in the house continually watched
shows like Rikki Lake and that's where he
came up with the themes for the chorus.
--

And they walked past the fountains
Through the gardens, up the mountians
Across the sand, hand in hand
In wonderland

By the river, he turned and kissed her
Cause he could not, could not resist her
In the sunshine
You'll be mine all mine
In wonderland

Chorus:
In wonderland
Kids have guns
Spaceships come from alien suns
Everybody's high but they're sinking
Loonies rant on TV shows 
Boyfriends girlfriends come to blows
The ad man knows exactly what you're thinking
In wonderland

And they lay down
In the tall grass
Telling stories 
Watching clouds pass
Captivated, infatuated
In wonderland

In wonderland
Kids have guns
Spaceships come from alien suns
Everybody's high but they're sinking
Loonies rant on TV shows 
Boyfriends girlfriends come to blows
The ad man knows exactly what you're thinking
In wonderland
