Eighteen, squeaky clean
No police record because he’s oh-so clever
And I’m the dreamer again
Low-life, trouble and strife
Take me for a penny and I’m in for a pound
And I’m the dreamer again
You’re crazy
You’re lazy
Or do you want more from life
He’s got the grades, he’s go it made
He’s a sure fire winner he’s got to be they said so
And I’m the dreamer again
I’m a sad case, another nameless face, never do nothing
Cause my background said so
That’s the way things go
Are you feeling the strain, you’ve been knocked back again
And who’s going to pick up all the pieces left behind
You’re well on the way to earning fifty a day
So who’s going to pick up all the pieces left behind
My, my, doesn’t time fly
I remember you when your dad had money
And I’m the dreamer again
But you say that it isn’t right, that you’re overqualified
But it’s not what you know it’s who you know
Are you feeling the strain, you’ve been knocked back again
And who’s going to pick up all the pieces left behind
You’re well on your way to earning fifty a day
So who’s going to pick up all the pieces left behind
Or am I dreaming again
It’s coming over one more time
It’s coming over
Eighteen, squeaky clean
No police record because he’s oh-so clever
And I’m the dreamer again
I’m a sad case, another nameless face, never do nothing
Cause my background said so
That’s the way things go
Are you feeling the strain, you’ve been knocked back again
And who’s going to pick up all the pieces left behind
You’re well on your way to earning fifty a day
So who’s going to pick up all the pieces left behind
Are you feeling the strain, you’ve been knocked back again
Who’s going to pick up all the pieces left behind
Are you feeling the strain, you’ve been knocked back again
Or am I dreaming again
