This song, lyrically, explains the idea that life is wonderful. That everything is perfect, but as the chorus continually echoes, it's only a 'nice dream'. Probably some of the more depressing lyrics the band have ever done.

Heard at the end of the track are selections from an Artic-sounds tape of John Leckie's. The demo version, available on the compilation Shark's Patrol These Waters Volume 13, is mainly an acoustic number featuring organ and strings. This version also contains the original lyrics of the song. The second verse chronicles a sweet fascination: "I'm a sweet man / Made of chocolate / Your licorice eyes will enrapt me..." While the album version is lyrically superior, this one is still worth a listen

It starts as an acoustic track, and grows to incorporate some strings, and eventually heavy electric guitars. The chorus, which contains only the words 'nice dream' repeats over and over. It actually sounds better than you'd think. This used to be one of my favourite tracks on the album.

This track apparently came close to being a US single.
