lyrics

there are certain things you can buy
and there are other things you'll never have in your life
watch your fantasies hovering by
wild roses that grow in the corner of your eyes

there are certain things that you crave
and if you had them they would so quickly fade away
you keep it quiet you play it safe
keeping your distance taking your secrets to the grave

it's true my love what they say
true love is out of date
you rather love your own shadow plays
and life’s a virtual game yeah yeah

there are certain times when you shine
when the horizon looks so close a finishing line
you are reaching out - is this all mine
ready to touch the little bubble you've designed

it's true my love what they say
true love has gone astray
you rather love your own shadow plays
and life’s a platonic place yeah yeah
