Ugly Little Dreams — текст песни (Everything But The Girl)

Frances keep your mouth shut dear
We don`t want the neighbors `round
With their ugly little schemes
That make the pretty world go `round
And there`s a place in it for every one of us
I`ll keep the home fires burning
Only don`t make a fuss

And if you`re not impressed
With the wares life has to show
You can take them or leave them
They choose their own fare who say no
There`s some ugly little dreams
For pretty girls to buy
It`s enough to make you mad
But it`s safer just to break down and cry

It`s a battlefield Frances
You fight or concede
Victory to the enemy
Who call your strength insanity

What cahnce for such girls
How can we compete?
In a world that likes its women
Stupid and sweet

I bet you rue the day
The angels gave you your share
Of bright cornflower blue eyes
And golden hair
And there`s a lot of ugly little dreams
For pretty girls to buy
It`s enough to make you mad
But it`s safer just to break down and cry
It`s safer just to break down and cry
