[Chorus]
Everybody needs to dream
Romance and love and eight hours sleep
A little cottage by the sea
A glass of gin, a box of chocolates
To be both wanted and desired
To move away when we retire
No hell or heaven in-between
British racing green

[Verse 1]
Pebble-dash houses under-neath the flight-path, still life
Perfectly preserved through double-glazed windows
Satellite dish brings
Entertainment to our home
Crack in the foundations - claim for
Compensation leads to
Aspirations and pipe dreams
Buy myself a sports car
British racing green

[Chorus]
Everybody needs to dream
Romance and love and eight hours sleep
A little cottage by the sea
A glass of gin, a box of chocolates
To be both wanted and desired
To move away when we retire
No hell or heaven in-between
British racing green
[Verse 2]
Still don't know where I was going
Top down in clement weather
Just like all the English people
Trying to win the Island Race, whatever
British Racing Queen
British Racing Green

[Chorus]
Everybody needs to dream
Romance and love and eight hours sleep
A little cottage by the sea
A glass of gin, a box of chocolates
To be both wanted and decide
To move away when we retire
No hell or heaven in-between
British racing green

[Verse 3]
Now I'm living in a chat-room
With the Diana fan-club
They sent a virus to my dream
That wiped the hard-drive
British racing green

[Chorus]
Everybody needs to dream
Romance and love and eight hours sleep
A little cottage by the sea
A glass of gin, a box of chocolates
To be both wanted and desired
To move away when we retire
No hell or heaven in-between
British racing green
Everybody needs to dream
Romance and love and eight hours sleep
A little cottage by the sea
A glass of gin, a box of chocolates
To be both wanted and decide
To move away when we retire
No hell or heaven in-between
British racing Queen
