Sus comienzos no fueron fáciles, se fundaron en 1990 siguiendo la estela del "revival" mod de la época y cambiaron de compañía un par de veces, e incluso grabaron en tres ocasiones el mismo disco, hasta que quedaron contentos con el resultado. Así apareció su álbum debut "Ocean Colour Scene" en febreRo de 1992, con las aportaciones de la guitarra de Steve Cradock, el bajo de Damon Minchella, la batería de Oscar Harrison y la voz y las guitarras de Simon Fowler.

Half A Dream Away with Ocean Colour Scene (Revised) This how I think Half A Dream Away is played.I think it sounds quite right. If you disagree you could always mail me at [email protected]. This song doesn't include any real chords except for during the trombone solo and the fade-out when it's some kind of chords but they are very quite so it's hard to tab that. After the fade-out there is a little part I didn't manage to tab. But I will when I have time. The notes between the brackets are them who are palm-muted or played very silent. Revised: I have corrected the verse.
Verse: We're just half a dream away Sitting on our fences Building up defences Making up the rules by wich we play We're just half way down the road Staking our positions Stupid superstitions Only give fools to heavy a load Verse is played: e-2h3p2------------2h3p2----------------------| B-------3---(3)----------3---5h6p5------------| G---------2----(2)---------0-------5----------| D------------------------------------5--------|

Verse 2: We spend half our time away >From being where we want to And seeing who it's fun to Not blaming ourselves for our mistakes We spend half a dream away Looking out of windows Waiting for a signal Waiting for night to turn to day

Trombone solo Chorus 3 & 4: The rainbow frowned when the sun was shining A baby's snatched on a beautiful morning A dog runs wild and the breaks are screaming A church on fire is struck by lightning The dead man's hands had beautiful fingers The princess frowned at her lovers mistress She went insane and poisoned the children A teacher's drowned and a child is laughing
