Beautiful South The Foundations Lyrics

Foundations Lyrics

(heaton/rotheray)

 Build your dream castle out of sand

 It's bound to get washed up anyway

 Dream your dreams out of last week

 They're bound to have come up yesterday

 

 If you want to give them flowers

 Make them paper ones you send

 Live your life a jigsaw

 It goes back in the box, in the end

 Build your dream heart from plasticine

 'cause you're putty in their hands

 Mould your ambition in concrete

 'cause you'll only land in quicksand

 

 Carve your dough from play-dough

 'cause they'll roll you into a ball

 Make your friends from lego

 'cause lego makes a wall

 

 'cause when you build big houses

 The paintings get stolen

 The devil says he's silver

 When you know that he is golden

 When papier mch heads make more sense

 Than the sun

 Giving teacher apples could be fun or dumb

 

 Build your planes from airfix

 'cause you'll only lose the war

 Write your love letters on rice paper

 At least you'll feed the poor

 

 Build your dream castle out of sand

 It's bound to get washed up anyway

 Dream your dreams out of last week

 They're bound to have come up yesterday
