Beer Street and Gin Lane are two prints issued in 1751 by English artist William Hogarth in support of what would become the Gin Act. Designed to be viewed alongside each other, they depict the evils of the consumption of gin as a contrast to the merits of drinking beer. At almost the same time and on the same subject, Hogarth's friend Henry Fielding published An Inquiry into the Late Increase in Robbers. Issued together with The Four Stages of Cruelty, the prints continued a movement started in Industry and Idleness, away from depicting the laughable foibles of fashionable society (as he had done with Marriage à-la-mode) and towards a more cutting satire on the problems of poverty and crime.
On the simplest level, Hogarth portrays the inhabitants of Beer Street as happy and healthy, nourished by the native English ale, and those who live in Gin Lane as destroyed by their addiction to the foreign spirit of gin; but, as with so many of Hogarth's works, closer inspection uncovers other targets of his satire, and reveals that the poverty of Gin Lane and the prosperity of Beer Street are more intimately connected than they at first appear. Gin Lane shows shocking scenes of infanticide, starvation, madness, decay and suicide, while Beer Street depicts industry, health, bonhomie and thriving commerce.
Chorus: I like dreamin' cause dreamin' can make you mine. I like dreamin', closing my eyes and feeling fine. When the lights go down, I'm holding you so tight. Got you in my arms and it's paradise 'til the morning light. I see us on the shore beneath the bright sunshine. We've walked along St. Thomas beach a million times. Hand in hand, two barefoot lovers kissing in the sand. Side by side, the tide rolls in. I'm touching you, you're touching me. If only it could be. Chorus Through each dream, how our love has grown. I see us with our children and our happy home. Little smiles, so warm and tender looking up at us. Blessed by love, the one we shared Till I wake, and reach for you, And you're just not there. I like dreamin' 'cause dreaming can make you mine. I like holding you close and touching your skin Even if it's in my mind. Oh, sweet dream baby, I love you. Oh, my sweet dream baby, you're in my dreams every night. Oh sweet dreams, I like feelin you
