Wishing for the Normal

Wishing for the Normal Lyrics

Wishing for the Normal Song Lyrics

---

Velcro:
Just imagine pouring your cornflakes, looking up and someone's there.
Someone you have just spent the night with, someone's life you're proud to share.

Haven't put my face on,
Haven't done my hair,
Haven't had to worry, as it's him standing there.

Robbie:
Just imagine out on the dancefloor turning round, and there he is.
It's your man, the one you came in with, 3 years on your hand in his.

Living in a semi,
Maybe have a cat,
Nothing that's too fancy, tell me what's wrong with that?

Both:
Wishing for the normal kind of dream,
Nothing too excessive or extreme,
Hoping for the hum-drum,
Is that aiming high,
Others seem to find it, tell me why on earth can't I?

Wishing for the normal kind of dream,
Trouble is they're harder than they seem, Am I too ambitious?
Am I out of touch?
Am I wishing for too much?

Robbie:
Just imagine cooking lasagne,like those adverts on TV,

Velcro:
Sitting on a fake leather sofa, babies bouncing on my knee,

Robbie:
Living within reason,
Loving when I can,
Feeling like a someone,
Not so sad, also rad.

Both:
Wishing for the normal kind of dream,
Trouble is they're harder than they seem, Am I too ambitious?
Am I out of touch?
Am I wishing for too much?

Velcro:
Just imagine mowing the lawn,

Robbie:
Just imagine popping some corn,

Velcro:
Just imagine breakfast in bed,

Robbie:
Just imagine owning a shed,

Velcro:
Just imagine doing the school-run,

Robbie:
Going for picnics,

Velcro:
Keeping a goldfish

Both:
Wishing, wishing,

Hoping for the hum-drum,
Is that aiming high,
Others seem to find, tell me why-oh-why-oh-why can't I?

Wishing for the normal kind of dream,
Trouble is they're harder than they seem,

Velcro:
Going to a nightclub,
Cinemas and such,

Robbie:
Eating in a restaurant,
Happy to go Dutch,

Both:
Am I too ambitious?
Am I out of touch?
Am I wishing for too much?

Robbie:
Just imagine cleaning the Volvo,

Velcro:
Just imagine planting a rosebush,

Robbie:
Just imagine having a mortgage,

Velcro:
Just imagine keeping a goldfish.

Robbie:
A goldfish? You saddo...
