Things That Stop You Dreaming

I got no money in my hand or my coat or my pocket Won't get to space 'cause I haven't got a rocket But I have air in my lungs, eyes in my sockets And a heart that beats like a tap that leaks In the night when you haven't got a plumber who can stop it Jack-in-a-box without a key to lock it Well this boat may sink, but I'm not gonna rock it 'Cause the sea doesn't know my name Yeah, the boat may sink, but I'm not gonna rock it 'Cause the sea doesn't know my name Well, if you can't get what you love You learn to love the things you've got If you can't be what you want You learn to be the things you're not If you can't get what you need You learn to need the things that stop you dreaming All the things that stop you dreaming Well, I got no one's word and nobody's promise Not a lot to show, but this book full of sonnets And my liver may be fucked, but my heart is honest And my word is true like the sky is blue In the summer time when everybody gets on it Warm my skin and I get sunburned from it And her eyes shine bright like a sky full of comets (oh, oh) That shoot like silver trains (oh, oh) Yeah, her eyes shine bright like a sky full of comets (oh, oh) That shoot like silver trains (oh, oh) Well, if you can't get what you love You learn to love the things you've got If you can't be what you want You learn to be the things you're not If you can't get what you need You learn to need the things that stop you dreaming Oh-whoa, all the things that stop you dreaming Oh, oh, oh, oh, no And oh, oh, oh, oh, oh Oh-whoa, no, oh, oh, oh, oh, no Well, if you can't get what you love You learn to love the things you've got If you can't be what you want You learn to be the things you're not If you can't get what you need You learn to need the things that stop you dreaming Oh-whoa, all the things that stop you dreaming All the things that stop you dreaming
