The Alan Bown Set - Toyland

Copied!

Lets go down and blow our minds, in Toyland
Things down there aren't quite so square, in Toyland
In Toyland-land-land

You can see Molly Mole, she's groovin' in a hole, yeah
You can catch Freddie Mouse, man, he's buiding a new house
Of course, Teddy Bears got the seams sewn up
Their life is all honey and buttercups

You must (Must) go down (Down) and blow (blow) your mind, in Toyland
Things (Things) down there (There) aren't quite (Quite) so square, in Toyland
In Toyland-land-land

They're on your nursery wall, you'll learn to love 'em all
What they all about? I'll see you soon find out
'Cos late at night, they all change, and before it's light, they rearrange

They've all been down and blown their minds, in Toyland
Things (Things) down there (There) aren't quite (Quite) so square, in Toyland
In Toyland-land-land
In Toyland-land-land
In Toyland-land-land
In Toyland-land-land...

The meaning of the song

edit description

The song "Toyland" by The Alan Bown Set is a psychedelic journey into a whimsical and fantastical world where everything is not quite as it seems. The lyrics describe a place where Molly Mole is grooving in a hole, Freddie Mouse is building a new house, and Teddy Bears live a life filled with honey and buttercups. The narrator encourages the listener to go down to Toyland and blow their mind, as things there are far from ordinary. The nursery wall characters come to life and change late at night, creating a magical and enchanting atmosphere. "Toyland" is a playful and imaginative song that invites listeners to escape reality and embrace the fantastical world of their imagination.
