A Song Stuck in My Head

Pure Imagination from the movie Charlie and the Chocolate Factory—every so often I get it stuck in my head. It's not such a bad song to have stuck really, I suppose. But after the first few times of my brain playing it for me, I finally found myself thinking about the lyrics.





Come with me
And you'll be
In a world of
Pure imagination
Take a look
And you'll see
Into your imagination

We'll begin
With a spin
Traveling in
The world of my creation
What we'll see
Will defy
Explanation

If you want to view paradise
Simply look around and view it
Anything you want to, do it
Wanna change the world?
There's nothing
To it

There is no
Life I know
To compare with
Pure imagination
Living there
You'll be free
If you truly wish to be

If you want to view paradise
Simply look around and view it
Anything you want to, do it
Wanna change the world?
There's nothing
To it

There is no
Life I know
To compare with
Pure imagination
Living there
You'll be free
If you truly
Wish to be

It happens this way for me, and probably for you, too, that a song appropriate for what's going on in my life will plant itself in my brain. I'll catch myself singing sort of absent-mindedly, when finally, the lyrics catch up with the part of my brain that's supposed to be listening and paying attention. It's funny to think about the kinds of messages we are trying to tell ourselves. As you might guess, this one comes to me when I'm working in the studio.
