The Beautiful Things

The beautiful things We see them, every moment of the day We see them, we want them, right away The beautiful things We're full of desire Every second, every moment of the day Desire to touch To have, to have and to hold The beautiful things We come from the land of the new From a better place than this Where everything's clean and fresh and new And the people are young and handsome and true But the world we live in is cold and it's dark And it's full of the dirt and the death and disease And the loneliness Yes the loneliness And the heartache and sorrow and fear But it's OK It's all right Because on every shelf in every shop there's things Yes things Things from the land of the new We are born clean We are born clean We are born clean As if we'd come out of a washing machine So we buy them These things These things that are clean and new And we become clean and new just like themm Yes we buy them These things These things that are clean and new And every time we buy we're born again So we buy And we're born, we buy and we're born So we buy And we buy and we buy and we buy and we buy!
