High Hopes |
Well I didn’t give up on the road to love |
But that road is long and that road is rough |
So you seek a diversion from all that work |
And I can’t get back now |
I strayed off into a shady resort |
Where perfect formulas quench your thirst |
They fix you up in the simplest terms |
And I can’t get back now |
And I saw things that you’re not meant to see |
Sights and scenes better left to your dreams |
And on the way my standards are rising |
I’m less prepared to compromise them |
And every day brings wider horizons |
So how’m I gonna get on the straight and narrow? |
How’m I gonna get on to you? |
And even if I could it may be too late |
Cos I hear that love runs on give and take |
That’s a deal to which I would not relate |
No I can’t do that now |
Cos I’m used to playing the waited-on guest |
Youth and beauty granting my every request |
Yeah on the way my standards are rising |
I’m less prepared to compromise them |
And everyday brings wider horizons |
So how’m I gonna settle for what’s on offer? |
How’m I gonna settle for you? |
Now I want things that we’re not meant to see |
Sights and scenes better left to our dreams |
And all the way my standards are rising |
I’m not prepared to compromise them |
And should I ever finally arrive there |
Then how’m I gonna settle for what’s on offer? |
How’m I gonna settle for you? |
Yeah how’m I gonna settle for something proper? |
How’m I gonna settle for you? |
