From the recording Fee Comes Fourth
Lyrics
Boy you hit the jackpot
yeah she was quite a crackpot
But then, who cares,
when the whole world
turns to stand and stare
She's a picture to come home to, even when she's on the phone to
Her astrologer, her dealer, or her lover. Does it matter?
But in another world,
in another world,
in another world
you might have fallen for
The other girl with the lovely smile,
nobody wants to paint her
but those gentle eyes
Could see right through
your badly drawn disguise.
Colours fade at the beauty parade,
I'll give you £2.20 for the choices you made
And a kiss on the lips
To that girl you knew so long ago.
She's older now.
Are you wiser now?
Come the day you lost the lot
When you're jackpot lost the plot.
Police are there,
The whole world comes to stand and stare.
Now there's no picture to come home to You spend your morning on the phone to
Her Mother, her doctor, and a builder. Should you bother? Did you love her?
I know you tried (you tried)
you cried (you cried)
you've beaten yourself up inside
We could all take a life time
to see the light that shines
In another world, in another world,
in another world
You might have fallen for
The other girl with the lovely smile,
nobody wants to paint her
but those gentle eyes
Could see right through
your badly drawn disguise.
Colours fade at the beauty parade,
I'll give you £2.20 for the choices you made
And a kiss on the lips
To that girl you knew so long ago.
She's older now.
Are you wiser now?
The other girl with the lovely smile,
nobody wants to paint her
but those gentle eyes
Could see right through
your badly drawn disguise.
Colours fade at the beauty parade,
I'll give you £2.20 for the choices you made
And a kiss on the lips
To that girl you knew so long ago.
She's older now.
Are you wiser now?
In another world
