Dear old mother   I'm gonna make you very proud   But dear old father   He don't believe that anyhow   I'm growing older   Still at the same old job   'Cause I need the money   Oooh I wish I had enough   Time and time again   I don't know when   I don't know how, but somehow   Turn on the tellie   Come home very late at night   So goddamn tired   But full with plans tonight   But I go on dreaming   And sleep the whole night through   One day I'll change   'Cause I know i have to   Making it work this time   And if I got some time aside   I use it with all my might   I use it to grow further   Making it anyway   Gonna make it anyhow   Gonna make it this time around   Expanding   Ooh Lord I'll be expanding
