Things That Stop You Dreaming - Passenger

I've got no money in my hand or my coat

Or my pocket

Won't get to space 'cause

I haven't got a rocket

But I have air in my lungs eyes in my sockets

And a heart that beats like a tap that leaks

In the night when you haven't

Got a plumber that can stop it

Jack-in-the-Box without a key to lock it

Well this boat may sink

But I'm not gonna rock it

'Cause the sea doesn't know my name

Yeah the boat may sink

But I'm not gonna rock it

'Cause the sea doesn't know my name

Well if you can't get what you love

You learn to love the things you've got

If you can't be what you want

You learn to be the things you're not

If you can't get what you need

You learn to need the things

That stop you dreaming

Oh the things that stop you dreaming

Well I've got no-one's word

And nobody's promise

Not a lot to show but

This book full of sonnets

My liver may be f**ked

But my heart is honest

And my word is true like the sky is blue

In the summertime when everyboby gets on it

Warm our skins and get sunburned from it

And our eyes shine bright

Like a sky full of comets

That shoot like silver trains

Yeah our eyes shine bright

Like a sky full of comets

That shoot like silver trains

Well if you can't get what you love

You learn to love the things you've got

If you can't be what you want

You learn to be the things you're not

If you can't get what you need

You learn to need the things

That stop you dreaming

Oh the things that stop you dreaming

Well if you can't get what you love

You learn to love the things you've got

If you can't be what you want

You learn to be the things you're not

If you can't get what you need

You learn to need the things

That stop you dreaming

Oh the things that stop you dreaming

Oh the things that stop you dreaming
