Lyrics
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
