Perfect Life - Hue & Cry

She sells the house and she leaves it

So quick she couldn’t believe it

And though her tears are falling few

She thinks she’s losing her mind too

Now the place she had a heart

Is just an open hole

But if you want the best

You’ll have to take it whole, take it whole

Now you’ll never get there if you refuse to care

Everyone’s looking for the perfect life

But as the years have shown, can’t get it on your own

Everybody wants a perfect life, everybody wants a perfect life

He’s on a loose and he loves it

Anything he don’t like he shoves it

Every bedroom’s an open door

This is what humans are made for

Now the place he had a heart

Is just an open hole

But if you want the best

You’ll have to take it whole, take it whole

Now you’ll never get there if you refuse to care

Everyone’s looking for the perfect life

But as the years have shown, can’t get it on your own

Everybody wants a perfect life, everybody wants a perfect life

Everybody wants a perfect life, everybody wants it

No problems, no worries, do disagreements

Everybody wants a perfect life

No anger, no crying, no bitternesses

And though his tears are falling few

He thinks he’s losing his mind too

Now the place they have their hearts

They’re just like open holes

But if you want the best

You’ll have to open up your soul, take it whole

Now you’ll never get there if you refuse to care

Everyone’s looking for the perfect life

But as the years have shown, can’t get it on your own

Everybody wants a perfect life, everybody wants a perfect life

Everybody wants a perfect life, everybody wants it

No problems, no worries, do disagreements

Everybody wants a perfect life

No anger, no crying, no bitternesses

Everybody wants a perfect life

No mortgage, no angst, no anxiety

Everybody wants a perfect life

You told me every damn thing free

Everybody wants a perfect life

Dream on, dream on, dream on

Everybody wants a perfect life

Loser, loser, everybody winning

Everybody wants a perfect

Give me the reason that everything survives

Everybody wants a perfect life

Everybody wants a perfect life

Everybody wants a perfect life
