The camera pans the cocktail glass Behind a blind of plastic plants I found the lady with the fat diamond ring Then you know I can't remember a damn thing I think it's one of those de ja vu things Or a dream that's tryin' to tell me something Or will I ever stop thinkin' about it I don't know, I doubt it Subterranean by design I wonder what I would find if I met you Let my eyes caress you Until I meet the thought of Missess Princess Who? Often wonder what makes her work I guess I'll leave that question to the experts Assuming that there are some out there They're probably alone, solitaire I can remember when I caught up With a pastime intimate friend She said, " Bet you're probably gonna say I look lovely But you probably don't think nothin' of me. " She was right, though, I can't lie She's just one of those corners in my mind And I just put her right back with the rest That's the way it goes, I guess Baby you send me Set adrift on memory bliss of you Careless whisper from a careless man A neutron dance for a neutron fan Marionette strings are dangerous things I thought of all the trouble they bring An eye for an eye, a spy for a spy Rubber bands expand in a frustrating sigh Tell me that she's not dreaming She's got an ace in the hole It doesn't have meaning Reality used to be a friend of mine 'Cause complete control, I don't take too kind Christina Applegate, you gotta put me on Guess who's piece of the cake is Jack gone? She broke her wishbone and wished for a sign I told her whispers in my heart were fine What did she think she could do? I feel for her, I really do And I stared at the ring finger on her hand I wanted her to be a big PM Dawn fan But I had to put her right back with the rest That's the way it goes, I guess Baby you send me Set adrift on memory bliss of you

A música foi lançada em agosto de 1991 como o segundo single do álbum de estreia do P.M. Dawn, “Of the Heart, of the Soul and of the Cross: The Utopian Experience”.
O ritmo de “Set Adrift on Memory Bliss” foi criado a partir de samples de “True” do Spandau Ballet, “Ashley's Roachclip” da Soul Searchers e da versão de Bob James de “Take Me to the Mardi Gras” de Paul Simon, sendo só Prince Be e o compositor de “True”, Gary Kemp, creditados como autores.
Foi o único hit que alcançou o número 1 no Billboard Hot 100 dos EUA, sendo o primeiro single a chegar ao topo após a implementação do sistema Nielsen SoundScan, que monitorou vendas e airplay com maior precisão.
No mundo inteiro, a faixa atingiu o número 1 na Nova Zelândia, o número 3 no Reino Unido e o número 7 na Austrália.
O videoclipe da música foi dirigido por Mark Pellington e, em 2005, a canção foi colocada na lista da Blender como a 94ª melhor música desde seu lançamento.
Em 2002, o “Set Adrift on Memory Bliss” foi incluído no ranking de VH1 como a 81ª maior música de hip‑hop de todos os tempos.
