Foundations Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Build your dream castle out of sand
It's bound to get washed up anyway
Dream your dreams out of last week
They're bound to have come up yesterday
[Pre-Chorus 1]
If you want to give them flowers
Make them paper ones you send
Live your life a jigsaw
It goes back in the box, in the end
[Verse 2]
Build your dream heart from plasticine
'Cause you're putty in their hands
Mold your ambition in concrete
'Cause you'll only land in quicksand
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Carve your dough from play dough
'Cause they'll roll you into a ball
Make your friends from Lego
'Cause Lego makes a wall
[Chorus]
'Cause when you build big houses
The paintings get stolen
The Devil says he's silver
When you know that he is golden

When papier-mache heads
Make more sense than the sun
Giving teacher apples
Could be fun or could be dumb
[Verse 3]
Build your planes from Airfix
'Cause you'll only lose the war
Write your love letters on rice paper
At least you'll feed the poor
[Verse 1]
They're bound to have come up yesterday...
