Foundations — текст песни (The Beautiful South)

(Heaton/Rotheray)
Build your dream castle out of sand
It`s bound to get washed up anyway
Dream your dreams out of last week
They`re bound to have come up yesterday

If you want to give them flowers
Make them paper ones you send
Live your life a jigsaw
It goes back in the box, in the end
Build your dream heart from plasticine
`Cause you`re putty in their hands
Mould your ambition in concrete
`Cause you`ll only land in quicksand

Carve your dough from play-dough
`Cause they`ll roll you into a ball
Make your friends from Lego
`Cause Lego makes a wall

`Cause when you build big houses
The paintings get stolen
The devil says he`s silver
When you know that he is golden
When papier mй?‰hвЊ¦г„Іг¬ё heads make more sense
than the sun
Giving teacher apples could be fun or dumb

Build your planes from Airfix
`Cause you`ll only lose the war
Write your love letters on rice paper
At least you`ll feed the poor

Build your dream castle out of sand
It`s bound to get washed up anyway
Dream your dreams out of last week
They`re bound to have come up yesterday
