Better Than This

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 glow 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
