lyrics

things that stop you dreaming

i've got no money in my hands or my coat or my pocket ,
wont get to space cos i haven't got a rocket ,
but i've air in my lungs ,
eyes in my sockets,
and a heart that beats ,
like a tap that leaks ,
in the night when you haven't got a plumber who can stop it ,
jack in a box without a key to lock it ,
well this boat may sink but i'm not gonna rock it ,
cos the sea doesn't know my name ,
yeah the boat may sink but i'm not gonna rock it ,
cos the sea doesn't know my name ,

well if you can't get what you love ,
you learn to love the things you've got ,
if you can't be what you want ,
you learn to be the things you're not ,
if you can't get what you need ,
you learn to need the things that stop you dreaming ,
all the things that stop you dreaming ,

well i've got no ones word and no bodies promise ,
not a lot to show but this book full of sonnets ,
and my liver may be fucked but my heart is honest ,
and my word is true ,
like the sky is blue ,
in the summer time when everybody gets on it ,
warm our skins and get sunburnt from it ,
and our eyes shine bright like a sky full of comets that shoot like silver trains ,
yeah our eyes shine bright like a sky full of comets that shoot like silver trains ,

well if you can't get what you love ,
you learn to love the things you've got ,
if you can't be what you want ,
you learn to be the things you're not ,
if you can't get what you need ,
you learn to need the things that stop you dreaming ,
all the things that stop you dreaming ,

well if you can't get what you love ,
you learn to love the things you've got ,
if you can't be what you want ,
you learn to be the things you're not ,
if you can't get what you need ,
you learn to need the things that stop you dreaming ,
all the things that stop you dreaming ,
all the things that stop you dreaming ,
