lyrics

Pain is blue
Wherever she goes
Don't play it cool
When the music is on
You never feel it's right
Oh when the night breaks your heart in two

There's a backbeat blues
On the echoing night
There ain't no love, or maybe one or two
And I don't wanna let you down
Oh when the drums start coming through the bar

A paper dream
It's not just for someone else, you know it's
A paper dream
When you feel so old, and you feel like nothing
A paper dream
Does it make you feel like no-one else?
When the band is singing all of your life

Boys are fools
And no love is on time
Girls in the mood
Is it a typical lie?
Oh darling, can't you see?
We never know when the lights will go out

It's a big big world
And it’s nothing at all
I gotta sing what's never sung in the rain
And the silly little dream you have
It will never bring you down
You will get it

A paper dream
It's not just for someone else, you know it’s
A paper dream
When you feel so old, and you feel like nothing
A paper dream
Does it make you feel like no-one else?
When the band is singing all of your life

A paper dream
It's not just for someone else, you know
Just the way you feel
When you put the same records on again & again
A paper dream
Does it make you feel like no-one else?
When the band is singing all of your life

A paper dream
A paper dream
A paper dream
Does it make you feel like no-one else?
When you feel like singing all of your life
