Paroles : Andrea

Well, oh, I'm seventeen
And I live round here
And it's not so bad
And oh, my sister's left
So I'm just at home
With my mum and dad
(Well he's not my dad
But I call him dad)
But oh, I'm really looking forward

To when I won't be here
When I fly, fly away
To a better day
That's my idea
That's my best idea
It's a great idea

And oh, I have these mates
And they're really great

They're really prime
And oh, about once a week
We all go out
We have a brilliant time
We get out of our heads
We have a brilliant time

I tell them, they're all coming with me

The day I break away
Cos I feel, in my heart
That will be the start
Of a better day
A better day

God, these houses are so small
Neighbours rowing through the wall
Will it never change at all?

Oh, well I had this lad
And it were really sad

It were such a shame
Cos oh, cos he crashed his car
And he looked OK
But he weren't the same
He looked the same
But he weren't the same

But oh, if he'd taught my driving
I'd just drive clean away
Cos oh, if I had a car
I could get so far
Towards a better day
A better day

And oh, and I had this job
And it weren't much cop

So I packed it in
And oh, and my mam went mad
Said, "What've you done?"
I said I've packed it in
I just walked out
I packed it in

Cos oh, somewhere round the corner

And headed straight my way
I can see so clear
That I won't be here
I'll have a better day
A better day

No-one round me seems to mind
Given up, they're like resigned
Me, I'll leave it all behind

Oh, but they say at school
And like on the news

It's all a con
Cos look at me. I have these dreams
And they won't come true
Like they say, dream on
My mum says that:
"Dream on Andrea
Dream on Andrea"
But oh, something set me thinking

This thing my gran would say
"We'll win. It'll all begin
When us ship comes in
We'll have a better day
A better day"

How much longer can I hold
These dreams of mine? They're turning cold
Just a little bit longer till I see my way
And I'm running so fast towards my better day

And oh, something's set me thinking

This thing that she would say
"We'll win. It'll all begin
When us ship comes in
We'll have a better day"

Well, I'm seventeen
And I live round here

And it's not so bad
And my sister's left
So I'm just at home
With my mum and dad

And oh, something's set me thinking

This thing that she would say
"We'll win. It'll all begin
When us ship comes in
We'll have a better day
A better day
A better day
