Everybody needs to dream
Romance and love and eight hours sleep
A little cottage by the sea
A glass of gin, a box of chocolates
To be both wanted and decide
To move away when we retire
No hell or heaven in-between

Pebble-dash houses under-
Neath the flight-path, still life
Perfectly preserved through double-glazed windows
Satellite dish brings
Entertainment to our home
Crack in the foundations - claim for
Compensation leads to
Aspirations and pipe dreams
Buy myself a sports car

Everybody needs to dream
(La, la, la, la, la)
Romance and love and eight hours sleep
A little cottage by the sea
A glass of gin, a box of chocolates
To be both wanted and decide
To move away when we retire
No hell or heaven in-between

Still don't know where I was going
Top down inclement weather
Just like all the English people
Trying to win the island race, whatever

Now I'm living in a chat-room
With the diana fan-club
They sent a virus to my dream
That wiped the hard-drive

Everybody needs to dream
Romance and love and eight hours sleep
A little cottage by the sea
A glass of gin, a box of chocolates
To be both wanted and decide
To move away when we retire
