Let's take a chance on our Day-Glo dreams

And if we're lucky good things will come to stay

You and me and our Day-Glo dreams

There's nothing left to lose now so that's ok

In our hearts we got Day-Glo dreams

We were the useless kids from the hard estates

Everyone needs a Day-Glo dream

And you can't take that away 

 

We lived in a house with broken windows, on the wrong side of the street

The clothes we wore were old and torn, but our hair was clean and neat

And the kids were waiting outside the shops to knock us off our feet

And all we had was Day-Glo Dreams!

 

Lets take a chance on our Day-Glo dreams

And if we're lucky good things will come to stay

You and me and our Day-Glo dreams

There's nothing left to lose now so that's ok

In our hearts we got Day-Glo dreams

We were the useless kids from the hard estates

Everyone needs a Day-Glo dream

And you can't take that away 

 

Never had expectations, they were things we could never own

Stood outside the school gates, never felt so alone

And we took a long look at the kids in there

And we caught the first bus home

 

All we had was Day-Glo Dreams!
