The Dream Academy

This World

Richard's on the street with all the lonely poeple

Trying to get a job and getting nowhere

So now this is what he got

A new kind of dedication

He doesn't feel lost

He walks into the station

And Richard takes a train to go uptown

You know he's gonna find a place where the money just walks around

And with the grace of a wildcat

He steals a bag without detection

Walks on tiptoes right back

To make the right connection.

And when he leaves this world

Well then he won't feel alone

Now the fighting has all gone.

No more just trying to hold on

To the dreams of this world

Where he never quite belonged.

Belinda meets a friend at a pub called 'The Gun'

It's full of lots of lonely people all ot trying to have some fun.

She says, "I'll be right back"

Although you know it's only ten to one

Her eyes are just like a wild cat

And where's the summer gone.

She's been working on the ships for easy money

It's a bigger kind of tip and that may be because

You run a bigger kind of risk

She's got the dedication written in a kiss

In the promise of intoxicated bliss.

She's misunderstood for all the lonely people

Living in the world and getting nowhere,

Something always just goes wrong.

Why should they try to hold on

To the dreams of this world

Where they never wuite belonged.

Gina says she's gonna stop,

Settle down, you know, give it all up,

But it's so hard to give it up

When all your friends say they just can't

Stop.

They beat up a girl on the Ford Estate with a baseball bat

Last night the vigilante city fathers tried to get their daughters back.

They didn't understand

A different kind of smack was needed

Than the back of the hand

Yeah, something else was always needed.

This is for all the misunderstood lonely people

Living in the world and getting nowhere

Something always just goes wrong.

Why should they try to hold on

To the dreams of this world

Where they never quite belonged?

Where they never quite belonged.
