I can't stop you lying
can't stop you feeling down
off you sliding
shouldn't be like that now
i can't stop you hiding
when everything's gone wrong
i know you're fighting
though you don't know what for

we all want to change the world
or at least we all should
it's the way it's meant to be
it's a great great shame
what a beautiful day it would have been

i can't stop you dreaming
impossible my dreams
no denying
when the magic is so sweet
i can't stop forgiving
no matter what you do
is that a good thing?
or am i a bigger fool

we all want to change the world
or at least we all should
it's the way it's meant to be
it's a great great shame
what a beautiful, beautiful day

i can't stop you lying (i can't stop you lying)
i can't stop you hiding (i can't stop you hiding)
i can't stop you dreaming (i can't stop you dreaming)
i can't stop you
no

we all want to change the world
or at least we all should
it's the way it's meant to be
it's a great great shame
what a beautiful, beautiful day
