(Nice Dream)

The lyrics begin with a comforting picture of being loved, protected, and cared for. The speaker seems to have everything needed to feel happy, and the repeated phrase “Nice dream” makes this scene sound like a pleasant fantasy. The mood shifts when the speaker reaches out for help and finds that the friend is unavailable. By the end, the repeated claim “I’m coming home” may express a wish to return to safety, or a resignation that the imagined comfort cannot last.

The “very own garden” suggests a private, sheltered place where the speaker can grow and feel secure. Sunshine is a simple image of warmth and happiness. In contrast, the sea that could “electrocute us all” turns a possible rescue into something dangerous and impossible. The “good angel” may mean a trusted, helpful friend, rather than a literal angel; the answerphone emphasizes the gap between wanting support and actually receiving it.

The song leaves open whether the loving scene is a dream, a memory, or an imagined ideal. The repeated questions about being “strong enough” or belonging enough may suggest insecurity: perhaps the speaker doubts they deserve comfort or connection. Yet these lines do not explain exactly why the friend cannot help, or what “home” means. The contrast between warmth and danger gives the lyrics a sad undertone beneath their apparently gentle refrain.
