Don't Dream It's Over

by Crowded House
on Crowded House

Lyrics

There is freedom within, there is freedom without
Try to catch the deluge in a paper cup
There's a battle ahead, many battles are lost
But you'll never see the end of the road
full lyrics
There is freedom within, there is freedom without
Try to catch the deluge in a paper cup
There's a battle ahead, many battles are lost
But you'll never see the end of the road

wow...flashb a c k to some really great times with this song. It really holds up after so many years. Neil Finn is quietly one of the best songwriters of his generation (and still going strong)!
Try to catch the deluge in a paper cup....geniu s ! Love this song...it's so 1987!
Heard it on an episode of 90s 90210 (not the current 'remake' or whatever). Now I always associate it w/ that show.

Great song, great album
I just like it. What else need be said.
And Im counting the steps to the door of your heart. I tell my wife that every day. :) Great song.
COOL SONG
One of the best songs from the '80's. My favorite memory of this song is hearing it piping from a sidewalk store in Paris in '87! :)
Wait.... upbeat lyrics? Really, pandora?

Many 80's songs were so lame and forgettable, but this one really shines. And awesome lyrics!...wi l l love it always.
My favorite song of all time, and always will be. Also liked Howie Day's cover. Paul Young's version was terrible, and Sixpence completely ruined it.

This song takes me back to 1986...love it!

I love this song so much. Had forgotten the name and spent most of last night trying to remember. Thank god for searchable lists of hits from the 80s.
Kathy & Stephanie - DITTO!!!
Same here Kathy Hancock! Perfect song for that movie. As well as "Don't Fear the Reaper" at the beginning!!
Crowded House was 1980's lightning in a bottle...two fantastic albums (this and the followup "Temple of Low Men"), a series of fantastic songs filled with melodic perfection and smart lyrics...the y should have been even bigger than they were.
Can't ever hear this song anymore without thinking of "The Stand".
ahhhhhhhhh.. . . . m a k e s me think......I love this tune...
Sigh. This song is amazing.
