The Beautiful South - Foundations lyrics

[Verse 1] Build your dream castle out of sand It's bound to get washed up anyway Dream your dreams out of last week They're bound to have come up yesterday [Pre-Chorus 1] If you want to give them flowers Make them paper ones you send Live your life a jigsaw It goes back in the box, in the end [Verse 2] Build your dream heart from plasticine 'Cause you're putty in their hands Mold your ambition in concrete 'Cause you'll only land in quicksand [Pre-Chorus 2] Carve your dough from play dough 'Cause they'll roll you into a ball Make your friends from Lego 'Cause Lego makes a wall [Chorus] 'Cause when you build big houses The paintings get stolen The Devil says he's silver When you know that he is golden When papier-mache heads Make more sense than the sun Giving teacher apples Could be fun or could be dumb [Verse 3] Build your planes from Airfix 'Cause you'll only lose the war Write your love letters on rice paper At least you'll feed the poor [Verse 1] They're bound to have come up yesterday...
