Soho Cinders the Musical - Wishing for the Normal Lyrics
The song is written by George Stiles and Anthony Drewe.
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...
