John Miles - Plain Jane lyrics
[John Miles - Plain Jane lyrics]
Even as a little girl who's
Playing out of school
You wanted everyone to know your name
Makin' sure you had the best
Just to stand out from the rest
And nothing any less could be the same
People all around you could
Always be replaced
So those you didn't need were pushed aside
You would use them for a while
'Till their face went out of style
Then say: "Goodbye
And thank you for the ride!"
Plain Jane, chasing rainbows
Building castles in the sky
Plain Jane, chasing rainbows
Make the end before you die
Not for you a poor man's son
Your dreams of fortune have begun
And once you're off the ground
You have to fly now the girl with everything
Is feeling insecure
Your smile is never all that it appears
And the lady debonair
Who would never have a care
Fights harder every day to hide the tears
Time goes by, the spotlight fades
You're standing in the dark
A mystic left with no more spells to weave
Like a lazy afternoon
That has passed you by too soon
And all the things you had were make believe
Plain Jane, chasing rainbows
Building castles in the sky
Plain Jane, chasing rainbows
Make the end before you die
Not for you a poor man's son
Your dreams of fortune have begun
And once you're off the ground
You have to fly
Plain Jane, chasing rainbows
Building castles in the sky
Plain Jane, chasing rainbows
Make the end before you die
Not for you a poor man's son
Your dreams of fortune have begun
And once you're off the ground
Once you're off the ground
Once you're off the ground, you have to fly
And once you're off the ground
You have to fly
Playing out of school
You wanted everyone to know your name
Makin' sure you had the best
Just to stand out from the rest
And nothing any less could be the same
People all around you could
Always be replaced
So those you didn't need were pushed aside
You would use them for a while
'Till their face went out of style
Then say: "Goodbye
And thank you for the ride!"
Plain Jane, chasing rainbows
Building castles in the sky
Plain Jane, chasing rainbows
Make the end before you die
Not for you a poor man's son
Your dreams of fortune have begun
And once you're off the ground
You have to fly now the girl with everything
Is feeling insecure
Your smile is never all that it appears
And the lady debonair
Who would never have a care
Fights harder every day to hide the tears
Time goes by, the spotlight fades
You're standing in the dark
A mystic left with no more spells to weave
Like a lazy afternoon
That has passed you by too soon
And all the things you had were make believe
Plain Jane, chasing rainbows
Building castles in the sky
Plain Jane, chasing rainbows
Make the end before you die
Not for you a poor man's son
Your dreams of fortune have begun
And once you're off the ground
You have to fly
Plain Jane, chasing rainbows
Building castles in the sky
Plain Jane, chasing rainbows
Make the end before you die
Not for you a poor man's son
Your dreams of fortune have begun
And once you're off the ground
Once you're off the ground
Once you're off the ground, you have to fly
And once you're off the ground
You have to fly
