2nd song from the Album Pictures.



Lyrics:

Every night we fall into bed,
But it’s all in my head.
Every night we fall in a heap,
And you kiss me to sleep.
And baby all the sleepy things you say,
Blow me away.
Till the next day,
When I find what we did and we said,
Was all in my head.

Every night you whisper to me,
This always will be.
Every night you smooth down my hair,
But you’re not really there.
And darling it seems as if we know,
Our love will grow.
And then the next day,
I find what we did and we said,
It was all in my head.

Drowsy, drinking,
I keep thinking,
We’re not far apart.
Scared of waking,
Lonely, aching,
Just me and my hopeless heart.

Sleeping soundly,
Your arms around me.
Through the night we cruise,
Then I find it’s in my mind,
That you stroke away my blues.

Every night we fall into bed,
But it’s all in my head.
Every night we fall in a heap,
And you kiss me to sleep.
And baby all the sleepy things you say,
Blow me away.
Till the next day,
When I find what we did and we said,
It was all in my head.

It was all in my head...


A song rarely discussed, although IMo it's very interesting and beautiful. I would like to read something about it: is this song a good one, what do you think?

I really like this song and I always have. I much prefer it to Perfect Circle. I play it quite a lot. It is up amongst my favourites.

It's far from being my favourite of the album but it IS good... and I quite like the lyrics

I love that song too. I'm asking myself, why katie doesn't play it during her tour. It's such a beautiful song.

Of course It’s All In My Head is great! Not necessarily one of my favourites, but kind of "2nd row favourites" I think. That still means a lot considering it’s a song of Katie.

I love it and also wonder why it's kind of an 'extra' on the album, a bit forgotten. I think the theme is also one close to my heart, shall we say?

That goes for everyone!!!!

PS: Nice track!!!

I can't quite imagine Katie singing this song from personal experience, in the sense it almost seems the lyrics were written around that expression "it's all in my head" and used as the hook. Katie has mentioned in past interviews she will write songs based on singular ideas. (She might have been referring to Mike Batt, I'm not sure.)

I have this song ranked higher than Mary Pickford but that's not saying very much, unfortunately.

I just love this song, shame she didn't sing this one during her tour, but you can't expect her to sing them all, can you?

Unfortunately not. I could listen to Katie sing all her 86 songs.

Same here!

great song,hope to hear it live one day, overall i like all of the songs on pictures

Yes, that's true, Katie has never played it live. Katie, pleaaaaaaaaaaaaaaase

Quite strange actually, I liked it very much first, but the more I listen to it, the less do I like it, it somehow becomes boring after too many listenings.
