Paul Heaton - Real Hope lyrics

[Verse 1] She wanted her face to be famous So she dragged it off down to the smoke Where she went on a show, where they turned dreams to gold Give real people false hope She needed the comfort, she needed the cheer Her children had all flown the nest She desperately wanted to change her career To the thing that she felt she did best [Chorus] Giving real hope to false people Telling the world it can sing False hope, to real folk You can sing, you can sing, you can sing [Verse 2] He worked in a shop where they hated his guts Lived in a house just the same And all that he ever requested in life Was no bloody prefix in his name He wanted the glory, he wanted the fame In limelight he wanted to soak So he saved up the money and boarded the train To where they give plastic people real hope [Chorus] [Bridge] Take heed if your dreams are a-staring Dreamboat can end up on the rocks That road paved with gold is one block away From the rear-end of 'Top of the Pops' The rear-end of 'Top of the Pops' If you want it, don't tell us about it And if you don't get it, don't cry Just do as they say, and follow your dreams A fool with the wings of a fly A fool with the wings of a fly [Chorus] You can sing, you can sing, you can sing You can sing, you can sing, you can sing...
