Day-Glo Dreams

Let's take a chance on our Day-Glo dreams
And if we're lucky good things will come to stay
You and me and our Day-Glo dreams
There's nothing left to lose now so that's ok
In our hearts we got Day-Glo dreams
We were the useless kids from the hard estates
Everyone needs a Day-Glo dream
And you can't take that away

We lived in a house with broken windows, on the wrong side of the street
The clothes we wore were old and torn, but our hair was clean and neat
And the kids were waiting outside the shops to knock us off our feet
And all we had was Day-Glo Dreams!

Lets take a chance on our Day-Glo dreams
And if we're lucky good things will come to stay
You and me and our Day-Glo dreams
There's nothing left to lose now so that's ok
In our hearts we got Day-Glo dreams
We were the useless kids from the hard estates
Everyone needs a Day-Glo dream
And you can't take that away

Never had expectations, they were things we could never own
Stood outside the school gates, never felt so alone
And we took a long look at the kids in there
And we caught the first bus home

All we had was Day-Glo Dreams!
