 I got no money  in my hands or my coat or my pocket
won't  get to space 'cos I haven't got  a rocket
But  i've air in my lungs, eyes in my sockets
 and a heart  that beats like a tap that leaks
 in the night  when you haven't got a plumber who can stop it
jack  in a box without a key to lock it
 well this boat may  sink but I'm not gonna rock it
 'cos the sea doesn't  know ma name
 yeah the boat  may sink but I'm not gonna rock  it
 'cos the sea  doesn't know ma name
 Well if you can't  get what you love,
 you learn  to love the things you've  got.
 If you can't be what  you want,
 you learn  to be the things you’re  not.
 If you can't  get what you need,
 you learn  to need the things  that stop you
 dreaming.
 All the things  that stop you dreaming.
 Well I've got no ones word and nobody's promice
 not a lot to show but this book full of sonnets
 and my liver maybe fucked but my heart is honest
 and my word is true like the sky is blue.
 In the summer time when everybody get's on it
 warm skins and get sunburnt from it
 and our eyes shine bright like a sky full of comets
 that shoot like silver trains.
 Yeah eyes shine bright like a sky full of comets
 that shoot like silver trains.
 Well if you can't get what you love,
 you learn to love the things you've got.
 If you can't be what you want,
 you learn to be the things you’re not.
 If you can't get what you need,
 you learn to need the things that stop you dreaming.
 Oh ohoh
 All the things that stop you dreaming.
Ohh  oh oh  ohho  no
 And ohh oh oh ohho no
 Ohh oh oh ohho no
 Ohouhoh  oh no
 Well if you can't get what you love,
 you learn to love the things you've got.
 If you can't be what you want,
 you learn to be the things you're not.
 If you can't get what you need,
 you learn to need the things that stop you dreaming.
 Ohouoh
 All the things that stop you dreaming.
