Lyrics

Section 34 (Popular By Design)

There was a time and a place

When I could not find you or recognise your face

I was just standing there

When you walked on by

Memories I replaced and saved

You know that I know that you’re popular by design

You know that I know you’re wonderful in the light

You know that I know that you’re popular by design

You know that I know you’re wonderful in the light

Now it’s the morning time

And I’m looking out and I realise my fate

I was just standing there

When you walked on by

Memories I replaced and saved

You know that I know that you’re popular by design

You know that I know you’re wonderful in the light

You know that I know that you’re popular by design

You know that I know you’re wonderful in the light

There was a time and a place

When I could not find you or recognise your face

I was just standing there

When you walked on by

Memories I replaced and saved

You know that I know that you’re popular by design

You know that I know you’re wonderful in the light

You know that I know that you’re popular by design

You know that I know you’re wonderful in the light

You know that I know that you’re popular by design

You know that I know you’re wonderful in the light
