Dream Academy

Richards on the street with all the lonely people
Trying to get a job and getting nowhere
So now this is what hes got
Anew kind of dedication
He doesnt feel lost
He walks into the station
And Richard takes a train to go uptown
You know hes gonna find a place where the money just walks around
And with the grace of a wild cat
He steals a bag without detection
Walks on tiptoes right back
To make the right connection.
And when he leaves this world
Well then he wont feel alone
Now the fighting has all gone.
No more just trying to hold on
To the dreams of this world
Where he never quite belonged.
Belinda meets a friend at a pub called "The Gun"
Its full of lots of lonely people all out trying to have some fun.
She says "Ill be right back"
Although you know its only ten to one
Her eyes are just like a wild cat
And wheres the summer gone.
Shes been working on the ships for easy money
Its a bigger kind of tip and that may be because
You run a bigger kind of risk
Shes got the dedication written in a kiss
In the promise of intoxicated bliss.
Shes misunderstood for all the lonely people
Living in the world and getting nowhere,
Something always just goes wron.
Why should they try to hold on
To the dreams of this world
Where they never quite belonged.
Gina says, shes gonna stop,
Settle down, you know, give it all up,
But its so hard to give it up
When all your friends say they just cant
Stop.
They beat up a girl on the Ford Estate with a baseball bat
Last night the vigilante city fathers tried to get their daughters back.
They didnt understand
A different kind of smck was needed
Than the back of their hand
Yeah, something else was always needed.
This is for all the misunderstood lonely people
Living in this world and getting nowhere,
Something always just goes wrong.
Why should they try to hold on
To the dreams of this world
Where they never quite belonged?
Where they never quite belonged.
