Someone had a dream
Never been to London
Never in a limousine
Something made him go
Could it be the voices
Coming from the radio
But somewhere down the line
The happiness you'll find
Will crash into a wall
Just before the fall
Someone joined the band
But he never heard the music
Couldn't really understand
No, no no
Don't know what they mean
Where's my picture
Shining from a magazine
But somewhere down the line
He'll quickly glance behind
Then smash into a wall
Before the fall
<Interlude>
Someone ran so fast
When he saw the future
He was sure
that it was just the past
Someone had a dream
Only this one ended lost
Inside the old machine
And somewhere down the line
They'll say that his is mine
And all that's left is time
Time to fall and stumble, ah
cked down
and they put you first in line
And so you finally ask yourself
just how big you are
and take your place in a wiser
world of bigger motor cars
<Intelrude>
So Where the hell was Biggles
when you needed him
last Saturday
And where were all the sportsmen
who always pulled you though
They're all resting down
in Cornwall
writing up their memoirs
for a paper-back edition
of the Boy Scout Manual
See there! A man born
