She's not in her class at school
Teachers want to know why
She's starting to think in blue and pink
They'll never guess why
She's living in a high rise flat
She's up on the thirteenth floor
Playing with ashes as fairyland crashes
Secretly hoping for more

Mandy is having a baby
The hunters are out in the woods
American planes fly over the lanes
Do you really think that they should
I'm asking you 'cos I want to know
Do you really think that they should?

They're living in a picture book
In a cottage by a motorway
Dreaming of peace
As the cars roar past
Just look the other way

They're living in a magazine dream
In a cottage by the motorway
He goes out while she stays in
Will the sun come out today?
