  • Talk all the talk with a poet's style
    Tongue like electric, eyes like a child
    Buy only wives and the classic cars
    Live like a saviour, live like the stars
    Talk all the talk with a model's smile
    Tongue like electric, eyes like a child
    Buy all your highs and the classic cars
    Die on the front page, just like the stars

    The big screens, the plastic-made dreams
    Say you don't want it, say you don't want it
    It's our world, the picture-book girls
    Say you don't want it, say you don't want it
    Don't you ask me if its love my dear
    Love don't really mean a thing round here
    The fake scenes the plastic-made dreams
    Say you don't want it, say you don't want it

    Pace all the rooms with a jealous style
    Tongue like electric, eyes like a child
    Paint all your soul with the grand designs
    Reach like a saviour, your heart on the line
    Talk all the talk with a model's smile
    Tongue like electric, eyes like a child
    Buy all your highs and the classic cars
    Die on the front page, just like the stars

    The big screens, the plastic-made dreams
    Say you don't want it, say you don't want it
    It's our world, the picture-book girls
    Say you don't want it, say you don't want it
    Don't you ask me if it's love my dear
    Love don't really mean a thing round here
    The fake scenes the plastic-made dreams
    Say you don't want it, say you don't want it

    (instrumental)

    The big screens, the plastic-made dreams
    Say you don't want it, say you don't want it
    It's our world, the picture-book girls
    Say you don't want it, say you don't want it
    X2
    Don't you ask me if it's love my dear
    Love don't really mean a thing round here
    The fake scenes the plastic-made dreams
    Say you don't want it, say you don't want it

    Say you don't want it, say you don't want it
    Say you don't want it, say you don't want it Writer/s: DANIEL PARKIN, ED BULLER, GEORGE CRAIG, JACK SAILS, JAMES CRAIG, MARK HAYTON, WRITER UNKNOWN
