Is this what you meant?

Is this


What you dreamed of?


When you were making

Your plans


Shaking the dirt off?


Do you feel like you

And I belong?


(Oh, ah, oh)


Just keep your eyes

On the road


And nothing can go wrong




You could do so much


Better than this


You could do so much

Better than this





I've been checking my sums

Oh where did the time go?


Holding my photograph up


To the window

Through the paper


A refracted sun


(Oh, ah, oh)

I can see all the things


I wish that I'd done




You can hang your hopes


On the bedsits masses


You can put your faith

In the foreign


You can tell yourself


You can do your best

You could do so much


Better than this




Get a grip on yourself


Get a grip on yourself

Could have been something


But you're too late

And you

Wouldn't want it anyway




Just a photograph


From the wrong time

'Cause there

Is no soap star


Holding your hand

You can see yourself

In a freeze-frame


Must be someone else

Using your name




And everyone

Will be the same

And everyone will __

And everywhere


You'll see your name

In every shop window




It's better than this

You could do so much

Better than this

You could do so much


Better than this

You could do so much

Better than this
