Loyalty Song

Band songlist

Info

Loyalty Song (or What Did I Dream?) is track #14 on Babyshambles' debut album, Down in Albion, and the track is credited to Doherty and Patrick Walden.

When Doherty's "My Music" folder leaked online, an early version of this song, entitled "Wolfdream" and featuring Peter Wolfe and Doherty on vocals, was heard for the first time.

Lyrically, the song appears to be inspired from the old Irish marching ballad 'On the One Road', which features the lyrics.

Lyrics

Oh we wan' it
Ah, stories and ordinary Devo, oh
What did I dream?
Ah there's nothing as it seems
On the way back round for me

What did I dream?
Is nothing as it seems
On the way back down, for me

And there's nothing's gonna keep me from my
What did I dream?
There's no one gonna keep me from my
What did I dream? What did I dream?
What did I dream?

Well the one road
Maybe the wrong road
ah, it's the road to fuck knows where
We're on the one road
Maybe the wrong road
But we're together now so ... I don't care

And there's nothing's gonna keep me from your
What did it dream? (What did I dream?)
There's no one's gonna keep me from my
No fucker gonna keep me from my
No one can keep me from my
What did I dream? What did I dream?
What did I dream? What did I ....?

If I confide in you today
I know you don't believe a single word I say
I found solace in the flood.
Everybody knew that I would.
Stately line.
And there's a slight crack in my chimney

Oh tell me
What did I dream?
Nothing's as it seems
On the way back round

What did I dream?
Nothing's as it seems
On the way back down for

What did I
What did I
What did I, dream
What did I dream
