The lyrics can be misleading on the surface, as they seem to describe defiance towards a oppressive authority. However, as the lead singer very clearly stated on numerous occasions during concerts, the song is actually about sex.
I'll be your sailor girl
I'll tip my cap to your parade
Life won't be dreary no
I'll be the waves inside your bed
Pain is your beauty
It hurts the vision in our eyes
Your eyes are smiling now
They watch me cry, they watch me die, watch me die
I can dream, I can dream
I can dream that I'm someone else
I can love, I can love
I can love, oh love someone else
My saviour, my darling
Your eyes seep through me
You think you hate the way I mince
I'm screwing your dreams now
So cynical at your expense
Oh what a sacrifice
All of my dreams will melt away
Oh who's so special now
No one's more special, more than me, more than me
I can dream, I can dream
I can dream that I'm someone else
I can love, I can love
I can love, oh love someone else
I can dream, I can dream
I can dream that I'm someone else
I can love, I can love
I can love, oh love someone else
My saviour, my saviour, my darling, my darling
My saviour, my saviour, my darling, my darling
I can dream, I can dream, I can dream, I can dream
I can love, I can love, love love
I can dream, I can dream
I can dream that I'm someone else
I can love, I can love
I can love, oh love someone else
I can dream, I can dream
I can dream that I'm someone else
I can love love love, I can love love love
I can love, oh love someone else
I can dream, I can love (dream that i'm someone else)
I can dream, love (love, oh love someone else)
My darling, my saviour
My darling (I can dream)
Dream that I'm someone else
My saviour
